THE MOST SIMPLE WAY TO STRUCTURE YOUR MEALS
I love this way of structuring your plate as it’s pretty hard to go too far wrong!
If you structure your plate like this for 3-4 meals per day alongside drinking plenty of water to ensure your urine is straw colour, you have all of your nutrition covered without food consuming your life.
🥦 NON STARCHY CARBS
Ensure you include a variety of different colours & include both cooked & uncooked vegetables/fruits for a variety of different benefits. Fill half of your plate with this to really keep you full with calories at a healthy range.
🥩 PROTEIN
Vary your protein sources as much as possible to prevent boredom but to also get a variety of different nutrients. Rotate red meat, white meat, white fish, oily fish, eggs, dairy & tofu for keeping you full & supporting muscle strength/shape.
🥔 STARCHY CARBS
Do not fear these, just stick to 1/4 of a plate picking single ingredient carbs like rice, oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, quinoa, lentils & beans. These will support your energy throughout the day.
🥑 HEALTHY FATS
Super important thing to include for hormone, skin, hair & nail health as well as nutrient absorption but often where people rack up the calories!
Stick to 1 tablespoon of a healthy fat such as nuts, seeds, avocado or olive oil and you’ve got the healthy fats ticked off.
🍕🍷🍫 TREATS
Provided 8/10 of your meals look like the above, you can easily factor in a treat you enjoy 20% of the time guilt free. Especially in a social setting when you can make great memories!
