What does a healthy meal consist of?
The meal should consist of about 500-700 calories. You can have a lean cut of meat (such as skinless chicken), fish or tofu with raw, steamed or cooked vegetables, and whole grains. Try to stay away from refined sugars, white rice, pasta, white breads, candy, cakes, or any overly processed, fried or prepared foods. These contain in addition excessive artificial ingredients and preservatives your body does not need. Example: 2-3 oz (size of your palm) of skinless chicken, 1-2 cups of green leafy vegetables or a salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing, and ½ cup of brown rice. If you get hungry between meals, snack on 3-4 tablespoons of Almased mixed in water, low-fat yogurt, or skim milk. You can also eat vegetables or a handful of nuts as a snack.
