How to Achieve Balance in the Kitchen

We all know the importance of getting balanced meals (and if you need a reminder, just watch any cereal commercial, most of them seem to air it these days). However, achieving said balance is often easier said than done.
 
The benefits are all there - balance your meals and snacks and you can easily enhance energy levels and promote weight management while still including your favorite foods in your lifestyle.  We know that a balanced diet should include plenty of whole grains, fruits and veggies, lean proteins and low-fat dairy, but where do these foods fit in when I’m filling up my plate? Which, if any, should I portion control?
 
You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers! Come to our Noon Time Nutrition Ed class to learn more on how to balance. In this class, Dietitian Michelle will review the importance of portion control and how the combination of certain nutrients can help you reach your health goals.
