I've had a few people ask me about the phrase 'Healthy Meals' or 'Healthy Snacks', so I thought I would post on the blog for everyone just to some what clarify what those phrases means exactly.
While we don't want to put huge restrictions on what people eat (thats one of the advantages of this game is being able to feel what your body needs and eat accordingly), there are of course guide lines that can help you eat healther. For example - having balance in a snack or meal. Try to have some protein or fiber (or both!) in a snack. Try and have at least a veggie or fruit with each meal (as well as a protien, carb, and a fat).
Baked chips would not be considered a healthy snack - but a handful of nuts and some carrots would. Just an apple on it's own would not be considered a healthy snack, but throw in some string cheese and you've got one.
As for meals, again try and throw in some veggies or fruit to the mix, keep calories down - but make sure and get enough, don't eat a lot of starchy, fried, or super sugary things and of course always remember portion control.
Hopefully this helps people understand what Healthy Meals and Healthy Snacks are.
