Our nutritional needs vary depending on sex, size, age and activity levels (calculate your daily needs here), and a balanced lunch or dinner should always have a few key nutrients. But if calorie counting isn’t for you, just follow these simple guidelines to prepare a well-rounded meal:
- unlimited non-starchy vegetables (kale, tomatoes, cucumber, spinach, asparagus …)
- 3 to 3.5 oz (85-100 g) protein (meat, fish, eggs, beans …)
- 1/2 to 1 cup grains and starchy carbohydrates (quinoa, rice, spelt, potatoes, parsnips …)
- 1/4 cup nuts/seeds or 1 to 2 tbsp healthy oils and fats (almonds, sesame seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, walnuts …)
- unlimited herbs and spices (ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, parsley, basil …)
This quick and easy recipe is an example of a well-rounded lunch or dinner: Grilled steak marinated in olive oil and spices (protein/healthy fat) topped with roasted veggies (carbohydrate/veggies) and sautéed garlic kale (greens/healthy fat). If you’re trying to lose weight, stick to the lower end of the range: 3 oz protein, 1/2 cup grains and starchy carbs, and only 1 tbsp of healthy fats.
