Minerals are usually slept on when it comes to nutrition since their “numbers” are small compared to let’s say carbs, proteins.. But the idea is if you don’t have the right amount on minerals you cannot utilize those carbs and proteins!

So be mindful!

Sounds easy right?
-
The “i eat what i want” line or “eat what you want” is widely used in this community, but the problem is usually people who use it have gone through various sh*tty forms of food consumption trying to find the perfect balance for there body!
-
So the idea behind this is every body is different and reacts in a different way!
-
Don’t try and copy what others do, because simply you don’t know what they’ve gone through to get that “balance”!
-

Calories Vs Time!
-
Well, calories don’t know the time of day, so there are no specific times during the day that you have to eat!
-
Eat whenever you are hungry, just make sure to not exceed your calories if you’re following a plan!
