What are your meal and snack ideas for a metabolically efficient individual?  Remember metabolic efficiency is developed from 75% nutrition and 25% exercise training.  What are your suggestions?  I am not a big meat eater but you could create many different low carb, moderate protein and higher fat meals and snacks.  You don’t need to eat as much food during the day as you will feel satisfied and full for hours!  Metabolically efficient individuals will be burning fat at rest and during most exercise sessions.  Who wants to be a sugar burner?  Become fat adapted by starting to change your nutrition plan…fiber, fat and protein.
