The Kim Kardashian Diet

Kim Kardashian has a smashing round body. She appears to have gotten curvier lately, but that not stopped her getting more popular. Unlike other celebrities she does not go in and out of diet phases. Other celebrities let go in between movies. Choosing to relax, and then undergoing strict three to six month training programs just before a movie or project.

She loved to eat unhealthy food (like all of us) but had to change to tone herself down to a weight of 107lbs. Her height is 5’2″ and her measurements are 34-26-39. But the prize is that 39′ buttock.

The Kim Kardashian Diet is quite simple. She stays away from junk food and limits herself to roughly 1400-1500 calories a day. Here is a sample of one daily meal routine: [Read more…]

Protein Shake Recipes

Protein Shake RecipesProtein shakes are great additions to your meal plan. They can even be good meal replacements. Working for both muscle gain and fat loss.

Calories in an Apple

See the table below for the calories in an Apple and other nutritional information such as the fat, protein and carbohydrate content. The values are for a serving size of 100g. This is the best way of judging the calories for an Apple when sizes can vary so dramatically from country to country. All you need to do is weigh it and you have an immediate comparison.

These values are averages and should be used as estimates. In addition, remember that these values can and will go up based on whatever method of preperation. When counting calories always underestimate the calories and overestimate the potion sizes. I take the total calories per meal and round it up. For example: My last meal clocked in at 343 calories. I round it up and count the meal as 400 Calories. Why? Unlesss you weigh each individual item, chances are you will underestimate the potion size.

When it comes to Apple nutrition, the good news is that Apples are very low in Cholesterol, Sodium and Saturated Fat. It is also a good source of Vitamin C and Dietary Fiber. The bad news on the other hand is that most of the calories in an Apple come from sugar. See these posts for Carbs in an Apple, Protein in an Apple and Fat in an Apple.
