So you are thinking about trying some healthy recipes, but you do not know where to start, or you think you don’t have enough time? Well you are mistaken! Healthy foods can now be simpler than you would ever have expected. There is no need for complicated calorie counting; all you need are a few tips to help you through it. You will realize soon enough that cooking and eating healthy meals is definitely worth it.
You are getting up. You need to get to work, to feed the kids; basically you are in a rush, as ever. You want to eat healthy but you need something quick and easy. You like the whole “breakfast sandwich” idea, even though you know it is not the best thing to feed your body first thing in the morning… Well here is a fast alternative that will provide you with the nutrients your body and soul needs!
So for your next breakfast, try this: 30g of whole grain cereals and 175g of yogurt mixed together, with 125ml of orange juice on the side. You don’t like orange juice? Not a problem! You can substitute for your choice of vegetable of fruit juice, as long as it is 100% pure. You can also add as many fresh fruits as you want to your breakfast. For even more delicious nutritious, add in some scrambled eggs. Now that is a quick and nutritious morning!
Then you get to lunch, and you are stuck again, not knowing what to eat, tempted by the restaurant around the corner… Well the solution is right here. Here is a simple idea of healthy foods you can mix together for lunch.
How about this for a quick brown bag lunch: spread on whole wheat bread a mix of tuna, light mayonnaise and your shredded cheese of choice, for a delectable homemade tuna sandwich. After a complete healthy meal like this one, you will feel ready to take on the rest of your day.
Also remember to take it easy on the protein. For a balanced diet, you need a little bit of everything. Unfortunately most people’s daily protein intake in greater than what it should be. You need to know that there are the good proteins and the lesser good ones. Things like dairy products and eggs are a good source, but careful to the fat percentage. Nuts likewise, but careful on the portion, again because of the fat.
For example: 1 lb of boneless chicken cut into strips, 1/4 cup of fat free Italian dressing, 2 cups of frozen of fresh mixed vegetable of your choice and 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce. Fry the chicken and dressing in a large skillet, add the veggies and soy sauce and fry for another 5 minutes. Dinner ready to eat for four! Have any leftovers? Why not make them the next day’s lunch and save yourself even more time!
So when trying your hand at healthy recipes, use your imagination! Just remember the big lines: lots of fruits and vegetables, more whole grain and not too much salt! Anything taken with moderation is acceptable; you just need to be careful!
