10 Healthy Ways To Balance Your Meal

  1. Make half of your plate vegetables and other half of your plate protein.
  2. Take a control of your food. Eat more at home. Look out for more healthy options, when you eat outside. There is always a way to stay on the track.
  3. Use whole grains for your main course. Whole wheat, If you happen to eat refined carbohydrate…cut half of your original portion.
  4. Choose lean protein like chicken breast and seafood for your animal protein needs.
  5. Include at least one portion of vegetable protein every day. You can balance it with some fiber rich vegetable and make it even better
  6. Don’t forget your dairy. Needless to say about calcium and vitamin-D.
  7. Be creative in including more fiber rich vegetables in your diet. Never omit your side dishes.
  8. To curb your sweet tooth…do eat sweets in small portion and never give up all together. Make the frequency rare.

  10. Last but not least…drink plenty of fluids. Preferably water is the best choice. :)
