You can download the 12 page meal guide from the ExerciseT V web site and save it to your computer for quick reference. There are three main components to clean eating which are grains, proteins and fruits and vegetables. Your whole grains need to be minimally processed. Choose lean proteins that are prepared without a lot of added fat as well. For fruits and veggies you can load up on those. This is a lifestyle eating plan so it is important to view it that way. Some quick tips included with this program are:
Eat foods that are free of heavy sauces and sweeteners
Eat whole fruit rather than juice
Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day
