Do you ever feel indecisive about choosing what to eat? Yesterday for lunch my wife and I did. Then I had a thought. “I’ll make the rice” I volunteered, trusting later we’d figure on other delicious additives. We did and she did! When I paused from the work task I was completing to check the rice Jules had prepared everything for Hawaiian haystacks! So good!
Eating Principle:
If you’re not sure what to eat, or if you just want to add some variety, begin with a whole-grain (brown rice, whole-wheat pasta or bread, corn, oats, etc.) then add the other food groups – lean protein, low-fat dairy, veggies/fruits, legumes, mono- and poly-unsaturated fats (for example, extra-virgin olive oil, canola oil).
How do you decide what to eat?
