Eating healthy is all about balance, portion size, and moderation. it is okay to eat something unhealthy once in a while, but just make sure that you portion whatever you are eating and don’t eat too much of anything. too much of anything is unhealthy. you need a variety of nutrients to keep your body fueled. First of all, make sure you get plenty of fruits and veggies for essential vitamins and minerals. always eat breakfast everyday, as it gets your metabolism going and gives you energy for the day. I would recommend eating 5-6 small meals (probably 300 calories each) every 2-3 hours, but if you can’t do that, eat 3 larger meals (not too large) with 2 snacks (a midmorning and an afternoon snack) every day, making sure to at least eat something every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism going. make sure to drink water or green tea often, and stay away from sodas (including diet sodas, which have lots of bad chemicals) and juices. whole fruits are much more filling and nutritious than juices, as they have more fiber and water content. juices tend to have added sugars and won’t fill you up. moreover, make sure to eat plenty of healthy carbs (oatmeal, whole grains, whole wheat breads, brown rice cereal, along with those in starchy vegetables such as potatoes) and fiber. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and keeping you full, so get protein from lean sources, such as boiled eggs, lean beef, nuts, chicken breast, shrimp, and fish. healthy fats are also essential. stay away from saturated and trans fats, commonly found in fast food and many unhealthy packaged products such as chips, brownies, cake, and your typical junk food. healthy fats are found in nuts and fish, such as salmon or tuna. additionally, dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt are high in protein and provide your body with needed calcium for strong bones.

here are some recommendations for what you should eat (following the 3 larger meals and 2 snacks meal plan). one from each :

breakfast:
oatmeal topped with lowfat yogurt and/or fruit (berries, bananas, apples) and chopped nuts
whole wheat toast or whole wheat English muffin topped with a scrambled egg and a side of fruit
lowfat milk with cereal (healthy choices are Kashi, quaker, cheerios)
yogurt parfait (Greek yogurt is creamier and much higher in protein. you can layer sliced fruit, lowfat granola or cereal, and the yogurt)
English muffin with peanut butter and banana
breakfast smoothie (yogurt, milk, fruit)

lunch and dinner:
whole wheat turkey wraps filled with turkey breast, lettuce, lowfat shredded cheese, tomatoes, and other veggies with mustard and a side of fruit
turkey and swiss sandwiches on whole wheat toasto salads with nuts, a mix of salad greens, grilled chicken breast, and fruit
brown rice, grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli

other lunch options are up to you! just make sure you have fiber and healthy carbs, protein, and healthy fats to keep you energized and full!

snacks:
fresh fruits (can pair with some nuts or lowfat string cheese)
small bowl of cereal (choose unsweetened cereals or those low in sugar)
granola bars (make sure that they’re lower in sugar. many commercial granola bars are actually very bad for you, as they are like candy bars because they have so much sugar. choose ones with plenty of fruits and nuts. stay away from the quaker and nature valley varieties, and choose luna bars, cliff bars, kind bars, Kashi bars, or south beach bars instead
whole wheat crackers with peanut butter
fresh vegetables (dipped in hummus, if you like)
whole wheat crackers with lowfat cheese
smoothie
yogurt (Greek yogurt is amazing) topped with fruit and/or nuts
boiled or roasted edamame
small bowl of oatmeal
cottage cheese with fruit
