Creating a Healthy Diet
Meal Plan
Breakfast
◦ This is the most important meal of the day. It is best to consume food that provides energy
to keep you energized at the start of the day. Include fiber and protein in your breakfast and
add in a fresh fruit as well.
Morning Snack
◦ This is optional, especially if you have had a large breakfast since you would most probably
not be hungry. However, if you feel hungry a few hours before lunch, you can add a light
morning snack in your diet. For instance, you can eat a handful of nuts or slices of carrots or
apples.
Lunch
◦ Pack a healthy sandwich for lunch. You can also eat a veggie salad or have soup to keep your
energy levels up.
Afternoon Snack
◦ Again, this snack is optional but it is best to have a small healthy snack if you feel hungry as
this will prevent you from overeating at dinner.
Dinner
◦ This is the meal in which it is super easy to overeat. Divide your plate in four portions – one
for protein or meat source, one for starch and the other two for veggies or a salad.
