The take-home message when it comes to eating well is: “Eat everything and in a reasonable amount every day.” Because, apart from breast milk in the first months of life, no food contains all the necessary elements (protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins…) to the proper functioning of our body. We must therefore draw on each food group every day to cover all of our nutritional needs.
Two simple rules to adapt to everyday life
Diversify your diet to absorb nutrients in ideal proportions.
Match energy intake and calorie expenditure (by moving a minimum each day) so that her weight remains stable.
Good to know
The food balance is not built on meals for a day but over several consecutive days, or even a whole week. Thus, a rich and watered dinner will be of no consequence if you eat lighter the next day.
