I have three rules that keep me on track.
-
Eat according to activity. On high activity, days eat more carbs and on rest days or in the office, I eat fewer carbs. While still eating good fat and protein throughout the day.
-
Eat as many micronutrients as possible. Therefore I add as many vegetables, nuts, seeds, and powder superfoods as possible.
-
Limit eating sugar and preservatives in my food. Which means buying less packaged foods and making more of my goodies.
Like this chocolate protein granola, this is is not only taste delicious, but has great micronutrients, and protein to satiate hunger.

Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven at 320 degrees and prepare a non-stick baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, toss and mix in the oatmeal, coconut flakes, seeds, and nuts before adding and mixing the rest of the ingredients.
- Once all mixed, lay the mixture flat on the baking sheet, and place to oven to bake for 10 minutes.
