Healthy eating tips for first time flatters!

healthy eating flatting

Going flatting for the first time can be a whole lot of fun - and a steep learning curve. Learning how to put together a healthy meal is essential now mum isn’t doing it for you!

 

These are the building blocks of a healthy, balanced meal:

*Carbs. Low GI, wholegrain sources like brown rice, pasta, potatoes and wholegrain bread are an important source of slow burning, low GI energy. Start off with a quarter plate (handful) size portion, and have another serve if you’re still hungry.

Tip: Mix things up and try a grain like couscous, quinoa or bulghur wheat instead of your usual carb component.

*Protein. A serve of protein is also essential for good energy. Good sources include fish, lean meat and eggs, while tofu and legumes like chickpeas, lentils and beans are good vegetarian sources.

*Vegetables. Half a plate of vegies (one or two handfuls) is a good start for a healthy meal. Fresh vegies are always good, but frozen will do if you don’t have any on hand.

*Some fat. A small amount of healthy fats are important for your body. Good sources include olive, canola or rice bran oil to cook in, or avocado and oily fish like salmon (or sardines if you’re on a budget!)

These recipes are great to have up your sleeve as easy, affordable and healthy meal options.

Comon Discuss It..
Mince is a great thing to buy when first out flatting, it can be used in so many dishes and bulked out with lentils, oats and veges etc, so it’s very economical.

Nobody in your university has to assist you with essay papers writing. Other guys just got their own stuff to do. The essay writing service can be your assistant. The collaboration with specialists will get you great advantages!
