Eating more balanced meals and snacks that include a variety of healthy ingredients is a great way to lose weight, increase energy, support overall health and reduce your risk of illness. Start by covering 1/4 of your plate with a high quality source of muscle-building protein. Next, add nutrient-dense non-starchy veggies to cover at least 1/2 of your plate. Add starchy veggies, gluten-free grains and/or fruit to fill the rest of your plate. Include some natural fats to cook with or add as a topping. Try these simple meal ideas below for creating a more balanced plate that is sure to satisfy your senses!
