How Do You Make The Perfect Meal?!


Question: How do you prepare 3 meals per day containing all the nutrition your body needs?

Answers: How do you prepare 3 meals per day containing all the nutrition your body needs?
With my fingers crossed.

I follow the food pyramid and ensure I include all 5 groups in the daily plan.

Everyone in the family has to enjoy their food.

I make a 5 day plan ahead of time. For example if Chicken is the protein on a Monday, I ensure that I cook enough for lunches on the Wednesday and so forth. I prepare as many vegetables in advance & pack in plastic bags & that includes the breakfast eggs served on the weekend and if the eggs are being boiled I make extra for egg salad sandwiches on the Tuesday.
I must have a plan, 3 meals a day for 4 people + snacks. No stress allowed.

I have worked at this for a few years now as I am diabetic and have taken the opportunity to attend the diet clinics with dieticians & nutritionists. Those in the family that like gravies & sauces & dressings can have what they want and I can have as little or as much as I can to keep my blood sugar down as well as my cholesterol without having to take medication.
Thank you Report It

    • A mixture of salad, meat, chips, chocolate if thats what you like. Treat yourself.
    But also be sensible.
    Follow the food pyramid.
    Breakfast= whole grains, eggs, dairy, proteins, water
    Lunch= grains, proteins, veggies, fruits, dairy, water
    Dinner= protein (meat), healthy fats (fish like salmon), starches (rice, potatoes, pastas), veggies, breads
    Treat= anything! Its okay to give in sometimes. I personally love cookies!
    Flavor + Nutrition = The Perfect Meal
    forget the times and how many meals you should eat a day. just eat when your hungry and stop when your full. but make sure it's healthy and try not to eat more than 5 times a day.
