Follow the steps below when you need a little inspiration on how to build a satisfying meal!
* Decide how many Points you want to spend to determine how you’ll build your meal.
-Try pausing to check in with your hunger cues. Check how many points you have to spend for that meal or how many points you may be trying to save for a meal or drink later that day.
* First, pick at least one *filling* item. Here, think a protein (chicken, eggs, tofu, etc) or something with fiber (non-starchy veggies, fruit, whole grains).
-What is your go-to filling food item?
* Next, pick something to “bulk up” your meal. Here, think of some ZeroPoint foods that are full of fiber and can support overall fullness, like fruit and non-starchy veggies.
-Ask yourself; what fruit and non-starchy veggies do I have to choose from?
* Now, add something else. Depending on how many Points you want to spend and what you’re in the mood for, decide on something else to add to your plate. This is a great time to enjoy your favorite healthy carbs!
* Lastly, add a flavor booster! Flavor is key to creating a satisfying meal, so finish your plate off with heart-healthy oils, avocado, cheese, or something else you find delicious.
