How do I measure my fruit or vegetables? The first month I recommend a food scale, but if that isn't available or impractical- your fist is a good estimation of 100 g. An exception would be greens- 3 fists for that.
Do french fries count? No, nothing fried or dried. Nothing with sugar added.
How do I measure my protein? Protein requirement each day is ( .7 X bodyweight). For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, you should eat/drink 140 grams of protein a day. If you have a food scale, you can weigh the protein source and check in an on line calculator how much protein it contains. That impractical for you? Use your palm, if the food is about the size of your palm (chick breast, thigh, turkey burger, hamburger, cod); you can safely assume it contains 20-25 g of protein. Remember, this is about consistency and progress, not perfection.
What does a workout mean? It can be a day at the gym, it can be a run, it can be a nice long hike, rock climbing, bike ride. Move consistently, get outside and use your fitness. Play catch (playing catch is actually a great activity as we grow older).
I can't get that much sleep. Recovery is one of the most undervalued component of our health and fitness. Life is crazy and busy, it is a challenge for many of us to get 7 hours. Do your best, and remember we are working towards progress, not perfection.
