Add Volume To Your Diet Add Volume To Your Diet
 		Save Tip

About 60%-70% of your exercise goal success or failure will depend on your eating habits. A "workout warrior" with poor nutritional habits will not succeed with health or fitness. So, how do you add volume to your diet? The basics of it is to eat as many foods with high water content/low calories and/or fiber as you can. Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables are examples. These types of foods help you to feel fuller (satiety) while eating fewer calories. For instance, grapes with the same caloric amount as raisins will provide more satiety and theoretically help you eat less the rest of the day.

crista “ that all being said, there are still a certain amount of calories your bodies requires to maintain its optimal metabolic rate. so just because you are "full "feeling don't necessarily mean you have eaten as many calories as your need. In order to burn fat your body needs carbs to burn, this number of calories is your BMR(basal metabolic rate). Going below this is just a bad diet plan and in the end will only have you pack on pounds later. ”
