A Balanced Meal
guzzFit Nutrition Guide, Food and Meal Plan
Shaping and sculpting your body is “JUST” as much about reducing the amount you “EAT” as it is about consuming better food types within each balanced meal consumed!
Food and ingredients sourced from nature contain higher quality nutrient spectrums that do require a little more time and energy to metabolism yet fully compliment a fitness regime designed to:
- Reduce body fat percentage,
- Raise metabolic rates,
- Increase lean muscle mass,
- Gain Strength,
- Reach a state of being completely full or satiated,
- Improve digestive tract health,
- Heighten wellbeing,
- Progress fitness training intensity,
guzzFit provides nutritional guidance, eating plans and food diary formats so those goals are achieved in your fitness training efforts at the fastest possible rate!
Option A: Download Your Free Weekly Food Diary!
Option B: Join a WhatsApp Group With Us To Share Meal Pics!
An easy way to establish meal size is by using sections of your own hand to gauge volume, quantity and amounts.
We refer to a guzzFit balanced meal as containing 4 portions where 1 portion is an amount the size of your four fingers and 3 portions is an amount the size of your clenched fist.
A snack is simply a smaller sized version of a meal.
To assist you in creating a meal plan to achieve your fitness goals it’s best you read the bullet points below:
- A balanced meal will provide sustenance for at least 3 hours
- Always maintain a gap of at least 3 hours between each balanced meal or snack you consume and record what it was in the guzzFit food diary (option A) or take a photo (option B) to submit regularly to us for 2-3 weeks,
- plan your meals in advance and keep a record of each meal,
- carry an ingredients list with you when shopping so you get all the items required,
- feel free to have a guilt free day once a week (eating what you want within reason) to help avoid food cravings for the next 6 days of discipline!

When 1 portion of a BROAD SPECTRUM OF AMINO ACIDS are eaten with 3 portions of PLANT MATTER you’re eating a balanced meal.
- 1 portion of PROTEIN can be described as a serve of a BROAD SPECTRUM OF AMINO ACIDS and although the full spectrum is only fully available in forms of animal produce; meat, seafood, whey, cottage cheese, yoghurt, etc, there are plant based sources of amino acids, these and all the others are categorised together under the heading “PROTEINS” on the Green Chart at the top of this page.
- 3 portions of PLANT MATTER; vegetables, herbs, spices, extracts, seeds, fats, oils, nuts, nut butters, fruit, etc are the other essential components of a balanced meal, many examples of these are categorised and listed under the headings “STAPLE FOODS” and “HIGH CARBOHYDRATE FOODS” on the Green Chart at the top of this page as well.
Coconut oil
- Contains a unique combination of fatty acids with powerful medicinal properties,
- 15-30 grams of coconut oil per day will increase your energy usage 5% which is about 120 calories,
- The lauric acid in coconut oil can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi, helping you to prevent infections,
- The way the fatty acids in it are metabolised provides an appetite reducing effect.
Fats
Fats both in your food and in your body are simply storage units composed of fatty acids. A fat is distinguished by the specific combination of fatty acids making it up.
Fatty acids have three basic purposes in your body:
- Providing energy,
- Providing the building blocks for cell membranes,
- Acting as raw materials that can be converted to other substances that perform special duties in your body such as hormones.
Fat is a very important macronutrient, so it is very important to include an amount in each meal. Without fat, you can’t actually metabolise fat so it makes it very hard to lose weight.
You also need fats for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as A, E, D and K. The best sources of fat are the mono/poly unsaturated fats and the omega’s 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids.
It is best to moderate foods high in saturated fat (some meats, fried food etc). The fats that can be consumed in sensible amounts are;
- Coconut Oil, Butter, Olive oil and any cold-pressed oil (sunflower, safflower, sesame, flaxseed/linseed),
- Olives,
- Avocado,
- Hummus and tahini,
- Nuts, seeds or nut spreads (almond, chestnuts) and L.S.A,
- Oily fish and seafood (grilled, BBQ’d, baked or pan fried using an olive oil spray),
- Lean meats,
- Fermented milk products (goats or sheep milk have better numbers than cows) (fetta, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, yoghurts…).
Most people are consuming too many polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). Both omega-3 and omega-6 fats are PUFAs and they’re both essential to your health, but when omega-6 is consumed in excess, it become problematic.
If consumed in the wrong ratios, they tend to stimulate inflammatory processes in your body, rather than inhibit them.
You do need some inflammation within your body to protect yourself from infections and trauma, the PUFAs help you mount these defences. However, too many PUFAs contribute to chronic inflammation, which causes all sorts of problems over the long-term. Inflammation is at the source of just about every chronic disease we see today.
The correct balance of fatty acids is essential if you want to be the healthiest you can be. Most people consume far too many omega-6 fats compared to omega-3 fats.
The ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats is 1:1
Sauces, Condiments, Spreads
You can use these additions to add to your food to give it flavour. But still use them in moderation. Try as much as possible, to rely on the natural flavours of the food itself;
- Butter,
- Salt reduced soy sauce,
- Oyster sauce,
- Teriyaki sauce,
- Miso soup/paste,
- Hummus,
- Fish sauce,
- Mirin,
- Vinegar,
- Tomato salsa,
- Tomato sauce (low sugar varieties),
- Tomato pasta sauces,
- Tomato paste,
- Stock,
- Mayonnaise,
- 30+ Manuka honey (1 teaspoon daily),
- Natural jams (100% fruit spreads – St Dalfour/Charles Jacquin),
- Vegemite/marmite,
- Mustard,
- Tabasco sauce,
- Tomato relish,
- Himalayan or Celtic salt.
Nuts and Seeds
They are a great nutrient rich snack to have between meals. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, essential fats/oils, protein and low glycaemic carbohydrates. They are good for stabilising blood sugar levels. Be moderate because they do contain a lot of energy;
- Almonds,
- Chia seeds,
- Sesame seeds,
- Sunflower seeds,
- Pumpkin seeds (Pepitas),
- Flaxseed,
- Chestnuts,
- Cashews,
- Walnuts,
- Brazil nuts,
- Pistachio kernels (shelled),
- L.S.A. powder (a combination of almonds, sunflower seeds and linseeds).
Authentic Sauerkraut;
- 1 whole green cabbage,
- 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger,
- 2 carrots grated,
- celery juice,
- starter culture,
- Grate, shed or slice cabbage, carrots and ginger then mix,
- Put celery juice and starter culture together and mix it in too,
- Pack into jars then bring fluid levels up to cover by adding cooled boiled water with some salt in it, place a cabbage on top to assist initiating the fermentation
- Cover the jar with its lid loosely fitted (Fermentation produces carbon dioxide which needs to be released)
- Store the jars in an esky for 5-7days so the temperature remains stable then tighten the lids and transfer the jars into a refrigerator for long term storage.
Fibre
- Getting enough fibre daily plays an essential role in your overall health.
- It is good practice to heal your gut with high quality probiotic-rich fermented vegetables before increasing your fibre intake sufficiently. Increasing fibre to an unhealthy stomach will only feed the bad bacteria whereas healing your stomach first will provide the ideal circumstance for good bacteria to multiply.
- With your healed gut flora and new found stomach health you can then set about increasing your fibre intake with seeds, nuts and vegetables rather than grains as illustrated and described in the poster below along with some of the magnificent benefits that come with a high fibre diet.
- 180 Super Food can be included in many different food or snack recipes to improve fibre intake, we can provide high or low energy variations of recipes for smoothies, protein balls, slices, puddings breads and cakes via this link.
Alcohol
- Alcohol is very high in energy, the alcohol itself contains 27 kilojoules per gram and there’s plenty more energy in the surrounding liquid and mixers.
- 1-2 standard size drinks 3 days a week should be enough.
- When having the occasional drink try to stick to consuming red or white wine with your evening meal.
- On social occasions white spirits with either natural spring water and lemon or lime, tomato juice or soda water are lower in kilojoules – Don’t use fruit juices or soft drinks – coke, lemonade, dry ginger ale etc are loaded with sugar and diet drinks perpetuate a desire for sweetness as well as cause a host of other horrid effects upon our bodies!
Coffee
- Coffee and stimulants such as Caffeine tablets and Thermogenic fat metabolisers can be consumed to increased fitness training intensity and stave off calorie consumption,
- Sometimes however they can over stimulate your adrenal glands so it’s best not to rely on caffeine for energy.
- As your blood sugar starts to stabilise you will generate more energy from food alone.
- Ideally stop consuming coffee after lunch. Caffeine can increase the intensity of your workout yet more water hydration is required with this approach, drink plenty of water afterwards as well.
- Drink your coffee black, or with a dash of milk preferably without sugar or other additives.
Tea
- Black tea is fine in moderation. Try and drink an organic brand that is naturally low in caffeine (Natures Cuppa is tasty and organic) and try not to add sugar or honey to it. Getting used to the flavour of tea without sweeteners is a 3 week effort.
- Other teas, which have great therapeutic value, are;
- Green tea – antioxidant and fat metabolizer (buy an organic brand such as Planet Organics or Spiral)
- Dandelion roasted coffee or leaf – liver detoxifier and natural diuretic
- Peppermint – Good for digestion
- Ginger tea – Another great tea for digestion and circulation.
- There are so many wonderful herbal teas teas to choose from and they are a great hot beverage.
Sweeteners
- It’s actually best not to replaced sugar with artificial sweeteners.
- Stevia is a natural sweet alternative in the market place that comes from a plant. It’s a little more bitter than sugar however if you don’t consume sugar it will taste very sweet and doesn’t have any calories or side effects.
- Artificial sweeteners are just simply all bad!
Tastebuds
- There is only 2-3 weeks between disliking a particular taste and your tastebud’s acclimatising themselves to it, so give them time to adjust. Discover how palatable the taste of something becomes after a couple of weeks!
