so after working out for about 1 1/2 -2 years i finally convinced mom that she doesn't know best and that the food i'm eating isn't the best (although i have to admit it's much healthier than most people's diet because mom cooks 3-7 days a week)... the goal of this diet should be maintaining gains and cutting down a little...
thanks in advance for all the help...

As for fruit and veg, eat as many colors as you can. Choose dark over light, i.e sweet potato over white potato. Dark green veg, such as spinach and brocolli, are natural PH balancers, they help your system from becoming over alkaline. Protien will create an PH imbalance if not neutrelized with with veggies such as the above. As for protien, chicken, tuna, extra lean beef are good choices, but so are LF cottage cheese, yogurts and egg whites (easiest way to incorporate protien: egg white omlette with spinach and cottage cheese yummy!) Legumes offer a good source of protien and complex carbs.
Stay away from anything pre-packaged or white, like white bread, white rice, pasta etc. When you need a good carb boost, choose whole wheat varieties of the above.
And no KFC, McDo or take-out crap. Allow one meal a week as a cheat, but don't go overboard with it.
You are correct, home cooked meals are better than what many get.

It doesn't need to be complex. Small changes will make a big difference for her. Better to make small and gradula changes than big changes all at once.jd12 wrote:so after working out for about 1 1/2 -2 years i finally convinced mom that she doesn't know best and that the food i'm eating isn't the best (although i have to admit it's much healthier than most people's diet because mom cooks 3-7 days a week)... the goal of this diet should be maintaining gains and cutting down a little...

Things to focus on are getting plenty of water, plenty of fiber, and cutting out processed foods. Balancing meals with a lean protein, a good carb and a small amount of good fat is best. Fruits and veggies like Diane said. For snakc,s fresh and unprocessed foods are better trhan those low calorie packaged snacks.
Small frequent meals is best. Unless she wants to get to a really low b ody fat she doesn't have to worry about her eating being perfect. Just good quality nutrition.
