Daily Nutritional Guide: What You Need To Know

One of the biggest obstacles in losing weight & keeping it off is knowing how much & of what to eat. With the help of the daily nutrition guide, it makes life a little bit easier. It doesn't take away the cravings for the foods that have the most calories but deliver nearly nothing in nutritional value, but with this information, you can at least decide if it is worth it in the long run (answer: usually no!).

Each individual will have different nutritional & caloric needs, such as pregnant & nursing moms. So this is meant only as a guide. You need to tweak it where most needed.
