Eating a balanced meal with protein that will keep me full for a long time. Carbohydrates that will also sustain me through out the day. Live food gives the energy to move and feel capable. Nutrients and minerals are necessary that come from whole ingredients.

i’ve learnt not to fear eating too much, not to obsess over what i’m eating. i eat what i crave in that particular moment and how much i crave. i allow into my day both ‘healthy’ and ‘junk’ food, both for my body and both for my heart.

Fat (if it’s unrefined and natural) is an important source of energy, just like proteins and carbs. WHERE you get your fat from is the question.

I think this is actually a mistake to try to eat a lot without eating fat. Fat is an important part of your diet, and it’s ok to include it in your calorie count. Eating some fat can help make you feel satisfied. I find that a large balanced meal with plenty of protein and some fat alongside some carbs and veg helps me be less hungry and avoid the sugar and simple carbs in unplanned snacks between meals

If this is a question about protien it’s all about ratios. Eating lean cuts of meat like chicken, fish, or pork are easy ways to get protein without a high fat content. Turkey is an excellent option as well. If you want beef you can always opt for a lean ground beef to keep fat low also. If you’re vegetarian you can eat things like mushrooms, beans, nuts, or tofu for a protein fix that doesn’t contain much fat. But also utilize your healthy fats too, like the ones found in avocados or seeds.

So,if i understood your question, you wanna eat but not gain weight. I wanted to do that less then a year ago, but only thing that i now see as healthy eating is eating how much i want,when i want to and whatever i want to eat. I see your problem, as i said i hade a similair one not long ago and i needed long time to learn how to love myself at normal level, and now i am finally happy with my body. I know that this didnt help a lot, maybe it didnt help at all but this is my opinion. If you rlly wanna do something, you can start doing some sports like gym or anything you like or ask profesional doctor for special diet. Hope you are havin wonderful day and that this helped a bit,good luck<3

I think I get a lot, I’m a little confused with this question, but my answer would be a lot because I eat a lot of junk food and sweets when I’m not in the mood or if it’s for cravings. But when I’m happy and stuff I make a lot of healthier food choices for the whole day.

Eating is all about balance and measuring. Balance is really important because you need some of everything. In each meal you should have a protein, a carb, a fruit or vegetable, a fat, and sometimes a treat while yes you should all of those and that is a “balanced” meal you need to even have more balance for example you may have everything you need on your plate but you might have 5x more carbs that everything else and that wouldn’t be responsible eating you need to have the most protein then the most and everything else should be pretty equal to that. It takes time to make a habit like this but you will get it! Good Luck!!

The best trick I used was I researched food groups (carbs, fats and proteins) for example and learnt how much the body needs/and can consume in a sitting. I then had an understanding that the body needed a lot less than what we were already giving it. So even when I’m hungry I make sure as long as I’ve consumed what I need. I know my body will be ok.

Try eating more protein – it fills you up more meaning you won’t need too big of portions. It also fills you up, leaving you full for a couple of hours
