Hey BA!

This week I want to give a quick tip on how to build your plate. Whether planning for the week ahead or trying to put together a last-minute meal, this principle will help ensure you are getting the basic nutrients you need to optimize health.

What should each meal include? 

High Quality Protein + Healthy Fat + Nutrient-Dense Carbohydrates

Let’s take a look at a few options for each category…

Protein Sources

  • Organic, pasture-raised eggs and chicken

  • Organic, grass-fed beef and other meats

  • Wild-caught fish

Healthy Fats

  • Avocado

  • Nuts and seeds

  • Olive oil

  • Pasture-raised butter

  • Coconut oil

Nutrient-Dense Carbohydrates

  • Vegetables

  • Fruits

  • Sprouted grains

  • Pseudo-grains (ex. quinoa, buckwheat)

Thinking about your meals in terms of incorporating these three items will help make planning simple!
