Not sure what to order? How to choose your healthy meal
Some days you arrive knowing exactly what you want. Other days you stand in front of the menu and your mind goes completely blank. Don't worry: not knowing what to eat doesn't mean eating badly. It just means you need a little nudge in the right direction.
Listen to what your body is asking for
Before you choose, ask yourself three quick questions: How hungry am I? Did I work out today? Do I need something light or something more filling? Your answers already tell you a lot. If you've just finished training, your body will thank you for an extra boost of protein and complex carbohydrates. A Poké Bowl with a brown rice base and a protein like tuna or tofu could be your best bet. If, on the other hand, you're after something lighter, a complete salad with healthy fats — avocado, nuts, seeds — will leave you satisfied without feeling heavy.
Simple tips for making a great choice
You don't need to be a nutritionist to make a good decision. These small guidelines will help you find your way:
- Look for balance on your plate: some protein, some vegetables and an energy source (grains, legumes or fruit).
- Don't be afraid of good fats: avocado, olive oil and nuts are your friends.
- Choose based on the time of day: an Açaí Bowl or a smoothie are ideal in the morning or after exercise; a wrap or a full bowl works great for lunch or dinner.
- Pay attention to the ingredients, not just the calories: quality matters more than the number.
