Eating Healthy Doesn’t Have to be Boring

Eating Healthy Doesn’t Have to be Boring

by Liz Moon, NP

 

Check out my typical afternoon snack! Included is ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt (I love the extra tang of Greek yogurt!), 1/3 cup blueberries and 1/3 cup Kashi GO LEAN Cinnamon Crisp. I find it helpful to measure and weigh my food to meet goals for fiber and macronutrient (protein, fats, carbohydrates) intake. This snack has approximately 6 grams of fiber, 16 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, and 27 grams of carbohydrate. The best part is how full and SATISFIED I feel until dinner.

 

If you want to learn more about how to include more fiber in your diet and maintain a healthy weight, please contact our office at 224-407-4400 or through our website www.compgihealth.com. We have a TEAM of professionals including a Gastroenterologist, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Dietitian, Behavioral Counselor and Physical Therapist/Fitness Consultant ready to support you!
