Your nutritional needs vary depending on factors such as your age, body size, sex, and activity level (calculate your daily needs here). While your exact needs are individual, a balanced lunch or dinner should include a combination of vegetables, protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. If calorie counting isn’t for you, these simple guidelines can help you build a well rounded meal:
- plenty of non-starchy vegetables (kale, tomatoes, cucumber, spinach, asparagus…)
- 3 to 4 oz (85 to 115 g) of protein rich foods (meat, fish, eggs, beans…)
- 1/2 cup of cooked grains or starchy carbohydrates (quinoa, rice, spelt, potatoes, parsnips…)
- 1 tbsp of nuts or seeds, or 1 to 2 tsp of healthy oils and fats (almonds, sesame seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, walnuts…)
- plenty of herbs and spices (ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, parsley, basil…)
This quick and easy recipe is a great example of a well rounded meal. It combines grilled steak marinated in olive oil and spices with roasted vegetables and sautéed garlic kale, giving you a satisfying mix of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. The different components come together to create a colorful, flavorful meal that’s both nourishing and satisfying, without requiring complicated ingredients or hours in the kitchen.
