A balanced plate without counting every bite
A well-balanced meal starts with variety rather than a list of forbidden foods. Vegetables, a protein source and a satisfying side can share the same plate.
Put it into practice
For lunch, try roast chicken or chickpeas with salad and potatoes. Adjust quantities to your appetite and activity; the aim is a comfortable meal, not a compulsory plate diagram.
Things to keep in mind
If you feel hungry soon afterwards, check whether you ate enough. A bowl of leafy salad alone may not be a substantial lunch.
Your next step
- Add a vegetable to lunch
- Choose a protein source
- Take time to eat
