Eat Right for Your Weight Loss Or Gain Goal: Tips From An ABHI Health Coach

Why What You Eat Matters

Most people know they need to “eat healthy” — but healthy looks very different depending on your goal. Someone trying to lose weight needs to focus on foods that are low in calories but filling and nutritious. Someone trying to gain weight needs calorie-dense foods that also support muscle growth. Eating the wrong foods for your goal – even healthy ones – can slow your progress significantly. The key is knowing exactly what to put on your plate.
