A Quick Tip to Meal Planning

Dietitians and nutritionists are experts in the use of food and nutrition to promote health and manage disease.  Nicole Moretta, Dietitian Nutritionist at Inspired Health Group, offers this quick tip on meal planning! 

Meal planning can sound like an overwhelming task but there are ways to make it a lot easier. I like to start with taking a look at what I already have in my fridge or pantry. Next, I think about what type of protein I want to have.  Then I see what I can come up with after that, making sure to ask myself -  "Do I have enough veggies and a healthy fat?"

Let's say I have some bell peppers and cabbage in the fridge, and I'm planning to buy a bulk package of chicken.  How can I add more veggies and where's my healthy fat?  I'll plan for chicken fajitas with sauteed mushrooms, peppers, and onions and top it off with some guacamole.

Now you try it!
