Diet Habits

Lewis Howes shares his daily dietary habits, emphasizing a balanced intake of fats and vegetables. He typically starts his day with a protein shake containing hemp, coconut, chia, and moringa, complemented by coconut and almond butter for fats. Lunch often consists of a large salad with avocado, olive oil, and wild salmon, while dinner includes a small portion of protein with a vegetable-heavy plate 1. Howes highlights the importance of plant foods, suggesting that 70-80% of one's diet should be non-starchy vegetables 1. He believes in the power of fats, stating, "By calories, it should be like 50% to 60% fat. But fat doesn't take up a lot of space, so you can get a lot of calories in a little space."
