Nutrition Basics
Balanced Meals
Aim for a combination of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates in each meal to keep you satisfied and energized.
Portion Control
Even healthy foods can lead to weight gain if portions are too large. Use smaller plates to help control portions.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger.
Quick Healthy Swaps
Whole Grains
Swap white rice and pasta for brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta for more fiber and nutrients.
Healthy Fats
Replace butter with olive oil or avocado oil for cooking to increase healthy fats.
Smart Snacking
Choose nuts, fruits, or yogurt instead of processed snacks for more nutritional value.
Meal Planning Tips
Prep Ingredients
Wash and chop vegetables when you get home from the store to make cooking easier during the week.
Cook Once, Eat Twice
Make double portions of meals and use leftovers for lunch the next day or freeze for future meals.
Healthy Convenience
Keep healthy convenience foods like pre-washed greens, frozen vegetables, and canned beans on hand.
