Foods That Can Make Your Everyday Meals More Balanced

Most people do not need a complicated diet plan. They need a repeatable way to put a meal together that feels good to eat and easy to shop for.

A simple plate framework

  • Fill roughly half the plate with vegetables or salad
  • Add a source of protein such as beans, lentils, fish, eggs or lean meat
  • Include a whole grain or starchy vegetable for energy
  • Add a little healthy fat — olive oil, nuts, seeds or avocado

Variety does a lot of the work

Eating a wider range of plants across the week naturally broadens the nutrients in your diet, without needing to track anything.

Make it realistic

Frozen vegetables, tinned beans and pre-cooked grains are genuinely useful. A balanced meal you can actually make on a weeknight is better than an ideal one you never cook.
