How to plan a balanced meal? -- let's just cut to the chase, you want each meal to consist of at least a protein, a carb, and a fiber (ie fruits and veggies). That's it plain in simple. If you want to be a little more thorough, then portions come into play, but this post is a "tip" so brevity is key-- protein, carb, fiber.
In alphabetical order: carb, protein, fiber.
Example?
Enter the beauty of the classic PB& J, the savior of frazzled and rushed mommies everywhere. This little baby has it all: carbs ( bread), fiber ( jam), protein (peanut butter).
Don't get caught up on the misproportion of fruits to carbs and protein, or the sugar content. You'll repent and do better tomorrow or even at dinner time, but on a hard day just know that that easy and well beloved old sandwich is good enough to pass muster at the Happy Taco.
