Nutrition, food and diet questions
Are rice crackers okay for dinner if I had a huge lunch?
Crackers are high in simple carbs (high Gl) and sodium, and low in nutritional value, so you’d be better off having a salad with lettuce, tomato and a quarter of an avocado plus a salad dressing of lemon and olive oil. It’s nutritious and tasty.
I’m vegetarian, how can I get enough protein?
Protein isn’t only in meat and dairy, it’s also in vegetables, nuts, grains and legumes. Grains, such as quinoa or barley, are great sources of protein, as they contain the eight essential amino acids that are vital for good health.
Is it true that if you eat less fruit you lose weight?
When trying to lose weight, reducing your sugar content overall is a good idea but there’s no need to cut out fruit altogether. It’s the perfect snack: High in vitamins and minerals, and low in fat.
I go out drinking twice a week. What drinks do the least damage?
The “healthy” amount of alcohol is no more than 1 -2 drinks per day. But when trying to be healthy, have at least 2-3 alcohol-free days a week If you are going to drink, choose wine over spirits, and alternate those with a glass of water.
