Nutrition III - Nutrition and Lifestyle - Creating Healthy Meals

Question 1

Creating healthy meals

Answer 1

Pick 2 - 3 non-starchy vegetables, one protein and one fat source OR switch protein for a high-fibre grain/carbohydrate.

• Trying to match food based on your tastes: don’t make an entire meal of food you don’t like just because it’s healthy. If you’re trying to get used to new foods, pair it with food you do you like. It’s important to enjoy your meals (taste buds adjust with time)
• Use basic foods you have on hand
• Plan your meals ahead – try the pepperplate.com app which allows you to plan meals, link to online recipes, create shopping list and menus, and share the information
