Key foods to help your vertical:

-Foods to eat:
Low-fat meats, fruits, vegetables, salads. - these are high in protein, Vitamin C, and other healthy antioxidants. Eating more unprocessed foods will improve your health and decrease your fat. A perfect vertical building food is Caesar salad with cheese and chunks of salmon for protein and an olive oil / vinegar dressing for fat burning.

-Foods to avoid:
Soda, Chips, Donuts, and anything with the brandname Hostess attached to it. The average athlete's diet is overloaded with
extra sugar and carbs, which get converted directly to dead weight fat. So stay away from that big gulp, or anything heavily sugar or corn syrup sweetened. You should consume 200-250 grams of proteins a day, and avoid overloading on carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, bread). If you must have that hamburger, either throw away the buns and eat the fries, or vice
versa, have half of each, but don't eat full servings of both. Take unsweetened iced tea. Remember, carbohydrates, though they do not contain a lot of fat, get converted to fat when unused.
