There\u2019s a tradeoff between fitness and socializing, but you can have it both ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we\u2019re being honest, most of us aren\u2019t into fitness for our health.<\/p>\n

Sure, if you\u2019re obese maybe your doctor told you to lose weight. But for the rest of us, fitness is really about looking good.<\/p>\n

We want sixpack abs. We want a chiseled jaw. We want broad shoulders, a tight butt and a slim waist.<\/p>\n

In short, we\u2019re in this for the social benefits. We\u2019re in it to look sexy, to get more dates. To look cool and win the admiration of our peers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that leads us to the great tragedy of fitness: our social lives have an unfortunate habit of derailing our diets and keeping us out of the gym.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the game day pizza. The late night burritos. The after-work cocktails. The birthday cake.<\/p>\n

Say it\u2019s Friday, and you have a dinner with friends coming up later that night. Even if you don\u2019t know exactly what you\u2019ll be eating, you can make a few educated guesses about the nutritional content of that meal<\/p>\n

You can almost guarantee that whatever you have for dinner will be higher in both carbs and total calories than a typical meal you\u2019d eat at home. In all likelihood, it will also have more fat, less protein, and fewer vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n

The solution here is simple: make your non-social meals the opposite of that.<\/p>\n

If you know you\u2019re having dinner with friends, for instance, make every other meal that day high in protein and vegetables, low in fat, and almost completely devoid of carbs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, keep the overall portion size small.<\/p>\n

As examples: a following this strategy, a good breakfast might consist of a protein shake or a few turkey sausages, plus some spinach or carrots and celery. A good lunch might be a chicken salad,\u00a0sans<\/em>\u00a0dressing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
