Whenever I take on a new client, one of the first things we discuss is nutrition. I like knowing what they're eating and how we can improve upon their current diet to make them feel and look their best. By assessing their diet, I can pinpoint problems like not eating enough protein or eating too many calories for their fitness goals, and help them get back on track. While I've learned that the average person tends to work well with a diet that consists of minimally processed whole foods, these are the foods I advise my clients to try to always have on hand.
While this list doesn't include every item I love, it's a great place to start if you have no clue as to what you should be eating to be healthier.
