Nutritional Diet Strategies
For the past few years I have taken my job of meal planning very seriously. I figure I am my families best chance of getting at least one nutrient dense, enjoyable meal a day. Much of the information I have read advocates integrating whole grains and power foods into the diet. We have completely switched to whole wheat pasta and bread. I have also made cookies, scones and pie crust with whole grain flour. My son thinks this change makes the cookies especially filling so you don't eat as many. Power foods include fruits, vegetables, berries, yogurt, nuts, fish and other foods that are high in antioxidants. A more complete list will be added to the Food and Nutrition section of our website. Fruits and vegetables are basically freebies, as in, you can eat as many as you wish (within reason). These are some things we are trying to eat a better diet. Share your ideas to win prizes.
