Fruits and pre-cut veggies make great snacks, Include protein in your breakfast meal, half of your plate should be vegetables.

    • a. Protein Sources – plain yogurt, chicken, fish, turkey, meats, eggs, nuts, beans, lentils, protein powder
    • b. Veggies – green leafy vegetables, cruciferous, anything with lots of color. Tubers such as sweet potatoes, yams, jicama and parsnips can be a source of carbohydrates for energy.
    • c. Healthy Fats – olive oil, coconut oil, raw nuts and seeds, organic real butter, nut butters
    • d. Carbohydrates – grains (1/2 cup), white potatoes (1/2 cup), pasta (1/2 cup) breads (one slice). Stay away from crackers, chips and most baked goods. If gluten-free, avoid most GF baked goods as they are usually high in sugar and very starchy.
