Ways To Balance A Meal: How To Create A Balanced Meal

A balanced diet is one that delivers the vitamins, minerals, and calories that your body needs—and in the "right" amounts. There are nutrients that you must get from food—called essential nutrients—because your body can't make them itself. Learn why a balanced diet is crucial to your health and weight—and how to achieve one. This book provides a no-nonsense, no-translation-necessary take on meal preparation. The recipes are organized in a series of three sections each:

(1) recipe title, description, and necessary kitchen tools;

(2) ingredients with preparation instructions and substitutions;

(3) quick list of prepared ingredients followed by clear instructions.

Result: A pain-free, hassle-free, balanced, delicious meal consisting of the three core food groups (protein, vegetable, and carbohydrate).
