15 Easy Ways to Burn More Fat
By Stephen Perrine, Leah Flickinger, and the editors of Women’s Health 

In case you were wondering, each Kitchy Mama Meal Plan contains a minimum of 25 grams of fiber and at least 50 grams of protein from a variety of sources including legumes, dairy, and meat.  Most of the time, I go well over the daily minimum in these categories. 

In addition, I make every effort to keep sodium intake well under 2300 mg/ day with a goal of around 2000 mg/ day.  As for fat and cholesterol, the meal plans average about 53 grams of fat with a concentration on good for you fats--though saturated fats have not been entirely eliminated.  I typically come in way under in the cholesterol category unless there are eggs on the menu.  I eat the yokes cause I can't bear to throw them away!  I figure everything in moderation!

I don't track calcium or other nutrients specifically, but I include calcium sources, fruits, and vegetables in each meal plan. 

Lastly, sugar is hard to track because it is difficult to separate added sugar from natural sugar, but judging by the fact that my dessert posts recieve the highest number of views, my audience isn't ready to give up sugar entirely.  The American Heart Association recently recommended no more than 24g of added sugar per day for women.  When I find a way to track this in my meal plans, I will let you know,  Until then, I will just keep trying to keep sugar in check.

I am not a dieter.  I love to eat and I want to feel satisfied and experience pleasure from food.  I think you will find my meal plans to be well balanced with plenty of healthy choices combined with all your favorite indulgences!

As for the comments in the article about pesticides and eating organic, I have come across this information from other sources and it is the main reason I have started purchasing as much organic produce, meat and dairy as we can afford.  In addition, I use a tea that helps your liver process the toxins in your system.  The basic function of your liver is to process fat, but when it is busy working to rid your system of all kids of other junk, the fat gets stored away.  I'm not a scientist, but this is my very simplistic understanding from what I have read.
