My simple berry bowl

Antioxidants in berries help protect your body against free radical damage. Also, they are low in calories and rich in fiber, meaning that they are ideal contributions to a healthy diet and can also be consumed alone as a snack.

Have a blessed day

What about calories

Taking in calories

One of my friends wants to lose weight and wants to know what my thoughts are on eating only 1,000 calories per day. Honestly, I think that’s a little low. Although it is likely to assist you in losing weight, it may also exacerbate your health problems.

The most important thing you should do if you are attempting to lose weight is to consult with your physician or dietitian before making such drastic changes to your calorie intake. I have included some general information regarding calories in the following paragraphs.

You should eat calories based on your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level. Most adults need 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day to maintain their weight, but individual factors can vary widely. Creating a calorie deficit will help you lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn. In contrast, if you’re aiming for weight gain, you should consume more calories than you burn.

To support overall health, it’s important to consume a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods. Calories alone do not determine the nutritional value of your diet.

Have a blessed day

Don’t get frozen yo

Homemade pizza is an excellent substitute for frozen pizza. Besides being better for you, it is also extremely simple.

It is possible to make your own simple dough, or you can buy some naan bread, as I did. Get some pizza sauce and then assemble your pizza. It is possible to make your own with simple tomato sauce and Italian seasoning or purchase a ready-made product. It was exactly what I did this time. Take some mozzarella cheese and combine it with whatever you wish. In addition to meats or veggies, you can also prepare a fast breakfast pizza. You are limited only by your imagination.

Stay blessed

Lunch time. What you got?

Don’t skip lunch, even if you’re tempted to do so. It’s a myth that eating a big breakfast means you don’t need lunch, but that’s not true. You’re more likely to snack on unhealthy foods during the day or overeat at supper if you don’t eat lunch. By skipping lunch, your body also loses nutrients, so it’s better to always grab lunch, even if it means giving up some free time. However, no matter what your specific needs are, you can make your lunch pretty healthy.

Carrying your lunch instead of eating at a fast food restaurant or another restaurant can save you a lot of money if you’re at work or school at lunchtime. Plus, you’ll eat healthier and tastier meals. Even if you aren’t a morning person, packing lunch doesn’t mean waking up early. It’s easy to pack the night before.

You can also stock your desk with healthy lunch choices at work to save time. If you’re in the office, try soup, pretzels, crackers with peanut butter, cereal bars, or instant oatmeal. Whenever you have to eat out, like with a client or associate, make healthy choices. Don’t skip lunch just because you have a meeting. Lunch options include wraps, sandwiches with wheat bread and light spreads, salads with light dressing, and fruit. You shouldn’t eat fast food, pizza, or bulky lunches, such as pasta, unless you’re going to be very active at work in the afternoon.

So don’t skip lunch and always make healthy choices.

Oh no we cooking now

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

Wow, that’s a fun question. Chicken is one of my favorite things to cook. The possibilities are endless when it comes to chicken. When it comes to chicken, I mostly grill or bake it. Since we make a lot of salads, it’s always fun to add chicken, as there are so many flavor combinations. We’ll also have easy lunch options like chicken salad.

Cooking steak is also my thing. Like chicken, you have so many options, and it’s great on salads, too. The fact that I’m typing this makes me want to cook more. It might be time to go grocery shopping.

Gotta have breakfast

Why Breakfast Really is the Most Important Meal of the Day

By now, you’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most significant meal of the day. Many Americans, as well as people around the world, still skip breakfast or only drink coffee for breakfast. When you include breakfast in your daily routine, you will have a much healthier diet.

No matter how it sounds, breakfast is a healthy start to the day. It is common for people to sleep for 6 to 9 hours without eating, and sometimes longer if they have not eaten since dinner the night before. As a result, breakfast is the first meal you’ll eat for a very long time. Proteins, for example, cannot be stored in the body and are therefore not available, so the body needs you to replenish these “low” levels. Like a match, breakfast ignites the day. Your body really needs it in the morning for energy.

It is also beneficial to have breakfast first thing in the morning so that you can avoid a variety of illnesses and diseases. If you don’t eat for a few hours, your sugar levels are probably out of whack. Therefore, consuming breakfast balances out the sugars in your body, helping to prevent diabetes. Eating a healthy breakfast also prevents you from overeating at lunch because you’re so hungry. A lot of health problems come with obesity, including heart disease.

Many vitamins and minerals can be found in healthy breakfast foods like eggs, fruit, and bran cereal. You can’t make up for the loss later in the day if you don’t eat these things in the morning. Nutrients make your body function properly, so always be sure you get enough. If you eat a healthy breakfast, you’ll choose more nutritious foods throughout the day, so that your body gets the nutrition it needs.

You can make a huge difference in your diet by setting aside 15 minutes every morning to eat breakfast. You should try to get at least three different food groups into your breakfast. For example, you can eat whole grain toast (bread food group) with peanut butter (protein food group) and a banana (fruit food group). Add milk to that, and you’ve hit a fourth food group. Even grabbing a piece of fruit or a muffin is better than skipping breakfast altogether. It doesn’t have to be a heavy pancakes and sausage meal every day. Breakfast is essential for overall health!
