While eating fads come and go, there are a few key elements to healthy eating that remain unchanged.
Here is what we know:
Healthy foods are those that provide you with the nutrients you need to sustain your body’s well-being and retain energy. Water, carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals are the key nutrients that make up a healthy, balanced diet.
Jumping in on this older post, I think healthy food means getting a mix of colors and nutrients every day—lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins, plus staying hydrated. I try to cut back on processed snacks and sugary drinks. What simple swaps have you found work best for you?
I used to struggle with getting enough variety while hitting my protein goals, especially on busy workdays when I’d grab whatever was fast and usually greasy. I eventually found that using a service like Frive helped me stay on track without the guesswork. I saw a cool breakdown of their standards here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mealprep/comments/1p5evjd/today_i_found_out_frive_has_a_hygiene_rating_of_1/ . It definitely beats typical takeout when life gets hectic.
