Fundamental Thinking: Nutrition Plan For Life

Forget about the specifics. Do your Keto, Paleo, Atkins, Mediterranean, Vegetarian, Vegan.

Focus on quality nutrients. GOOD fuel.

The Tests and Physical Practices in the "Built to Move" chapter on Nutrition (Vital Sign 7: Eat Like You're Going to Live Forever) are all about SIMPLIFYING eating. They are not a quick fix. They are not a life hack to a 6-pack.

These are sensible, science-backed strategies for creating and maintaining a healthy, robust body. In a nutshell, each day you should consume:

🥒800 grams of fruits & vegetables
🥩0.7 - 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight

Again, how you get there is up to you. We have no horse in the meat vs no-meat race. While a vegetarian or vegan CAN hit those protein requirements, it may be more challenging. What we do know is that skimping on protein can adversely affect the body in a number of ways.
