How to eat healthy with simple healthy eating mathematics

Eating healthy is not complicated. It doesn't have to be difficult.

Many of us overcomplicate it and make this journey more difficult than it needs to be. This makes it easy to get frustrated, throw up your hands and say “Screw it!” To say and eat fried poop taters from Applebee's again.

That is why today we will break down mathematics for healthy eating in the simplest way.

There are seven (7) days in a week. Let us assume that you eat three (3) meals a day (yes, I know, we sometimes eat snacks and on some days we eat 4 meals, but on other days we only create two, whatever, I just keep mathematics).

7×3 = 21. 21 meals per week.

You have 21 ways to eat healthy.

We will evaluate the food as if it were a class at school. Except here there is no "U" - we still spend FS for failure. Fitness is hard, but it is also fair.

Food of the "F" class

To “earn” an “F” (can we even call it that?), you have to score… well, anything below 60%.

13/21 = 60%. So if you earn an F, that means 12 or fewer of your weekly meals are healthy, clean meals.

At this point I, a trainer or an addition, cannot do anything for you. If you eat at an "F" level, you have to decide whether your health is important for you or not. We can give you all the information in the world, but we cannot force you to use it. Nobody except them can change their priorities.

That does not mean that all hope is lost. I saw a lot of people who have switched from F-Level meal to C, B and even A-levels. But it is a change that you have to make yourself.

Class “D” food

To get a "D", you have to score between 60% and 69%.

13/21 = 60%.

If you have 21 meals a week, that means at least 13 meals need to be clean, healthy meals. You will receive a maximum of eight cheat meals per week.

This is the point at which we at the parent-teacher conference serious discussions about your intentions, your future, the waste of your talents, shed tears and someone goes home without dinner.

Food of the class "C"

To get a "C", you have to score between 70% and 79%.

15/21 = 70%.

If you have 21 meals a week, this means that 15 meals have to be clean, healthy meals. You will receive a maximum of six fraudulent meals a week.

If you're thinking, "I eat healthy all week, I can take Saturday and Sunday off" - here you are. They eat at C level.

You “fit,” but if you want to achieve greatness, you have to do better.

Food of the class "B"

To get a "B", you have to score between 80% and 89%.

17/21 = 80%.

If you have 21 meals a week, that means 17 meals need to be clean, healthy meals. You will receive a maximum of four cheat meals per week.

There is nothing wrong with scoring at a "B" level as long as it matches its goals.

I have consistently achieved a “B” lately and will probably continue to do so. I feel good with my current body weight of 12%, my social life fulfills and I am satisfied with the food I eat. This is not the best I have ever seen, but I am not interested in running around with 6% body fat at the moment.

“A” grade food

This is where the elite differentiates itself.

To get an “A” on your diet report, you must score at least 90%.

19/21 = 90%.

If you have 21 meals a week, that means 19 meals need to be clean, healthy meals. You will receive a maximum of two cheat meals per week.

Remember that this is the minimum to get an A. If you're aiming for elite body status (below 7% body fat for men or equivalent for women), it needs to be 95% or even 100% depending on your goals and other factors.

Wrap up

Losing weight and looking good is 90% about what you eat. Think of classic quotes like "Abs are made in the kitchen," "You can't outdo a bad diet," and "Stop eating like garbage" (OK, that last one isn't a classic, I'm just saying it a lot).
