Nutrition Difficulties

One of my problems is NOT knowing enough about nutrition.  I have studied it up and down.  I know as much about nutrition as probably 80% of the personal trainers and heath guru’s out there.

My big problem is actually DOING what I know.  I don’t know why.  Here are some theories:

1. I don’t eat on time and by the time I eat I’m so hungry I just grab a burger
2. I fill up on soda
3. I don’t have the will power to eat what is right, I grab what is wrong
4. I don’t have the foresight to remember that even though I hate this “good” food right now I start to love it in about a week.
5. I don’t take the time to plan and when I do plan I simply don’t stick to my plan

So here are my actions (I am big on the idea of “micro-actions” or tiny steps towards a goal rather than a leap):

1. Try not to have too many carbs anytime other than breakfast and post-workout
2. Try to keep my protein % above 30%
3. Plan my foods
4. Set out good foods for when I’m starving
5. Drink more shakes
6. See if I can get my wife to help with this
