#greenscreen Do you know how to build a balanced meal? I did a poll last week and over 50% of you all do not know how to build a balanced meal! It’s no wonder you’re always hungry, you’re never satisfied, you don’t have any energy, and you’re consistently craving sugar.. All meals should have a protein source, a fruit or veggie, a carb source and a fat source Why is this important? Well for one Increased dietary variety! When you aim to include different foods like grains and starches, proteins, healthy fats, and fruits/vegetables in your meals and snacks, you’re increasing the variety in your diet. By including fruits/ veggies, grains etc you’re increasing fiber which is important for digestive health By increasing protein your supporting muscles, bones, many other bodily functions and satiety By adding healthy fats you’re supporting heart health, satiety and your ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins Balanced meals don’t have to look perfect like in my video An example could be a sandwich 🥪 The bread is your carb source, the meat is your protein source, the cheese fats/protein and added toppings could be vegetables Another example could be pasta with meatballs for protein, spinach and sauce for veggies and Parmesan for the fat Another example is Greek yogurt with added fruit, and a side of toast for the carb and topped with peanut butter for the fats! Get curious and creative and start to build balanced meals You’ll probably notice you feel more satisfied, you have more energy, and you might not be craving as much sugar as you do now Hope this helps!!
