Nutrition & Fitness The Beginner’s Guide to Eating Right 1. Don’t Skip Breakfast After a good night’s rest, and up to twelve hours without food, your body needs to refuel. A balanced breakfast will ensure you have enough energy to get you through the morning and will help prevent you from snacking on things like biscuits and cakes when hunger strikes at morning tea time. If mornings are a bit crazy for you, get prepared and have your breakfast ready to go beforehand. Make some healthy breakfast frittatas by baking beaten eggs with grated cheese and vegetables in greased muffin tins – these are perfect for freezing and can be easily reheated in a microwave or thawed and eaten at room temperature. 2. Don’t Drink Your Calories If you usually consume carbonated soft drinks, cordial or juice with meals, then make the switch to plain water. Not only is it much better for hydration purposes, but it will save you hundreds of calories a day. One can of Coca-Cola contains 160 calories, so if you’re drinking three cans a day, that’s roughly the same number of calories in a healthy, balanced dinner! Aim to drink at least six glasses of water a day for optimum hydration and save the sweetened drinks for a special treat. If you ’d li ke to ma ke a healthy change to your daily diet but you ’re not quite sure where to start , then these five simple tips will get you on your way !
