A Dietitian’s Guide to Balanced Meals ✨

Breaking down practical tools for building satisfying, nourishing meals without stress!

Hi Friends!!

For this month’s Myth Busters, we’re talking all about balanced meals! I know this may seem like a fairly simple topic but a lot of the feedback I’ve been seeing from you is that you want to learn how to create balanced meals at home (without a cookbook) so today we’re taking it back to the basics!

Between “perfect plate” graphics online and endless advice about what belongs on your plate, it can feel like every single meal has to be picture-perfect to be “healthy”. But let’s be real…life is busy, and balance doesn’t need to be complicated (or stressful).

So today, we’re tackling one of the biggest myths: that building balanced meals is complicated. We're looking at what a balanced meal actually looks like, how to make it realistic when you’re short on time, and some easy ways to boost nutrition without restriction!

What we’re breaking down:

• What is a balanced meal?

• Does every meal need to be perfectly balanced?

• Quick tips for busy people

• Easy ways to boost nutrition (without restriction)

• When balance matters (and when it doesn’t)
