If building a balanced meal feels complicated, let's make it easier. 💜
Ask yourself:
1. Do I have a carbohydrate?
2. Do I have a protein?
3. Do I have a source of fat?
BONUS: Do I have color? (Fruits and veggies both count, but try to include veggies in at least 2 meals per day!)
This is your go-to template whether you're cooking from scratch, heating up a frozen dinner, eating at a friend's house, or getting take-out.
