Nutritionist's Blog

Here is a site (again, it’s more helpful to people who mostly eat American food, but it's a nice visual way to see what portion sizes are more healthful): a blog kept by a nutritionist to show people what she actually eats every single day.

Every meal she eats contains:
1. low-fat proteins,
2. un-refined, complex carbs like fruits, veggies, and whole grains,
3. 5-10 grams of fiber (not difficult to get if you've got fruits, veggies, and whole grains in every meal),
4. good fats, like from fish, nuts, avocadoes, etc., and
5. a non-sugary drink such as water or green tea.

Maybe once a week, she "splurges" on something like dessert.

Again, I need more mirch (chilli pepper) : ), but thought some folks might appreciate that one.
