Build a Healthy Meal

Make half of your plate veggies and fruit.

  • Add color and variety to your plate.

Add Lean Protein 

  • Think chicken, turkey, lean beef, pork, fish, seafood, eggs, beans, tofu

Include Whole Grains

  • Look for “100% whole grain” on the food label, and as 1st ingredient

  • Whole grains provide more fiber

Take your Time

  • Savor your food, eat slowly, Enjoy the taste and texture and pay attention to how you feel.

  • Eating very quickly may cause you to eat too much.

Use Smaller Plates

  • If you feel the need to finish your plate use a smaller plate to help with portion control.

Take Control of your Food

  • Eat and cook at home as often as you can to know what you are eating.

  • When eating out look for baked items instead of fried.

Drink Water with Meals

  • Choose more water over sugar sweetened beverages

You don’t have to go on a crazy diet to make healthy changes to your diet.

Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. Let me know if this resonates with you!
