Monday Tip: 3 Strategies for Making Healthy Choices
Happy Monday everyone! Today I have 3 strategies you should consider when eating for any meal of the day! These 3 tips make choosing a meal when going out, or even making a meal at home extra simple!
#1: Pay attention to the cooking method
The way a meal is cooked determines how many calories, how much added fat, and the number of nutrients that survive. This simple factor will make or break your weight loss goal.
Avoid foods prepared like this:
• Fried and battered
• Processed and packaged
• Doused with cream sauce
• Sauteed
Choose foods that are prepared like this:
• Grilled
• Baked
• Broiled
• Steamed
#2: Your meal should be mostly protein
The bulk of your calories should be coming from a quality source of protein. With the first guideline in mind, these will be high quality, healthfully prepared.
Good choices of protein include:
• Fish
• Chicken
• Turkey
• Egg
• Lean red meat
• Beans
#3: Include lots of fiber
Fiber is a huge part of eating healthy. Fibrous foods will fill you up while delivering vitamins and nutrient in low-calorie packages. Fill at least two thirds of your plate with fibrous vegetables.
Try these forms of fiber:
• Salad
• Seasonal vegetables
• Fruit
• Legumes
