Do You Put Premium Fuel Into Your Body?














This may sound like a strange question but actually it makes a lot of sense if you stop and think about it. Many people purchase top quality vehicles. Very often they spend a great deal of money for these type vehicles and wouldn't dream of using regular gas over the premium fuel that is recommended by the manufacturer.
Yet, many people don't treat their own bodies in the same manner as they do their vehicle. Hopefully, we're much more valuable to ourselves and our loved ones then a car that can be replaced.
We should also be extremely "choosy" about what we eat on a daily basis, unlike the grabby octopus! We should reach out for premium fuel for our bodies in the correct amounts whether we're in weight loss mode or whether we've already reached what we feel is our appropriate healthy weight.
This way, we are operating at our very best each and every day! Remember, to check out mypyramid.gov to see what healthy foods are recommended for your age and gender.
Here's my breakfast for today! My overall daily goal as a woman who is in maintenance is in the area of 1,600-1,800 calories.
1 slice of Pepperridge Farms Whole Wheat Bread 100
1 tsp of honey 20
1 large egg 70
20 grapes 60
2 tsp of whipped butter 35
4 tsp of Coffee Mate 40
Total approximate calories: 325
Have a great day everyone!
