HOW TO BUILD A HEALTHY PLATE
Are you struggling to put together meals that align with your goals?
This is something we at DVP Fitness educate our clients on because knowing how to properly build a healthy plate is a tool needed in order to not only increase your rate of success in your journey, but to also sustain your results long term.
Step number 1: CHOOSE A PROTEIN.
We always encourage our clients to pick this portion of their meal first as protein is extremely important, no matter your specific goal. It is the most satiating macronutrient which will keep you full for longer and it will help you build and retain muscle mass.
Step number 2: CHOOSE A CARBOHYDRATE & FAT.
These are the next two macronutrients. Note - sometimes the fat content will come from the cooking process such as adding olive oil or butter when cooking meat. Carbohydrates are our main source of fuel, essential for our energy. Healthy fats are responsible for hormonal health (which is even more important for us ladies).
Step number 3: CREATE YOUR MEAL.
The simple… the better! With your chosen food sources, assemble into a meal. Please see the below as an example:
Prawns = protein
Pasta = carbohydrate
Olive oil = fat
Broccoli and spinach = veggies (because micronutrients are just as important)
