What to eat at a fast-food resturant...



What to eat at a fast-food restaurant?
I frequently find myself to be hungry and running short on time.  This leads to being forced to eat unhealthy food options.  As you probably already could guess I really like to eat healthy.  I am going to start with McDonald's.  I love to get the grilled chicken sandwich. The classic is the healthiest one.  I also sub out the fries for a side salad.  This change is a must.  Fried foods are very bad for you.  The next choice is Subway.  Subway is better than a lot of the burgers you get at other fast-food restaurants.  It is important to pick the right sub though.  The best option is the turkey breast sub.  If you are looking for the best of the best make sure you get this on the whole grain bun.  Lastly, it’s time for some coffee.  If you need your coffee this is what I get at Starbucks: Strawberry Blueberry Yogurt Parfait, tall cafe Americano.  I love to eat yogurt as much as possible.  Yogurt is really good for you over all. 

I understand more than anyone that it is difficult to eat healthy.  It is important to remember the diets never last.  This is why it is important to make life changes.  Eating healthy makes you feel better overall.  When you break these habits your body will feel it.

Weight training or Cardio?


LET THE DEBATE BEGIN

What is better weight training or cardio?

I personally feel that the body needs both weight training and cardio.  Weight lifting helps build strength. This paired with cardio can lead to the best results.  For me cardio helps make me feel best.  I really enjoy a good run.  Running on the treadmill for around an hour 3 times a week helps assure that my blood is flowing nice and smooth.  When I miss a workout I really slow down and I can feel it in a negative way.    A lot of doctors believe that everyone needs cardio.  I personally agree.  The results from cardio are unbelievable.  Since I started my cardio training I never slept so well.  I also breathe better and feel better overall.  I also do a lot of weight lifting.  I weight lift 3 times a week.  To keep my numbers up I must be consistent.  When I miss days I have trouble keeping up.  Missing days does not really affect my every day as much as cardio does.  This is why I feel that cardio is more important.
What do you think?
