What is a Balanced Meal?

What is a balanced meal?

There are a few RULES to follow when planning a meal. They are easy if you remember to take both hands with you everywhere you go.
Always eat within one hour of getting up in the morning. This gives your body a jump start on the day's activities.
Always have a protein along with a carbohydrate. Add a fat.
Make sure your PROTEIN portion is the size of the palm of your hand.
Make sure your VEGETABLE AND FRUIT PORTION is the size of both hands.
If you want to eat a mighty cautious carbohydrate, make sure it is the same size as your protein portion.
Add some monounsaturated FAT.
