Nutrition can be frustrating.
It's often overcomplicated.
But today I’m going to bring you the simple way to think about nutrition so that you can be healthy, lean, and strong.

If you're like me and you don’t like tracking, then do what I did: focus on the numbers for at least a week. Or maybe 2 or 3 weeks.
When you closely focus on the numbers for a short period of time, then afterwards you won't have to focus on it nearly as much. You’ll more easily know about how many calories something has, how much protein it has, etc.

So here we go. The three most important food goals to be healthy, lean, and strong:
