I always try to balance my meals, making sure I get some complex carbs, healthy fat and enough protein, otherwise I feel starving a little while later! The only exception is if I eat something carby before working out, like a banana, or dessert, which I think should be made a whole new food group :)Sarah Lienardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530979476207036892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-36909823434038706952011-11-08T15:18:40.372-08:002011-11-08T15:18:40.372-08:00I don't have time to think about the nutrient ...I don't have time to think about the nutrient balance in every meal but I try to have an overall balanced diet because otherwise it gets really annoying - no matter how much I eat, I feel hungry until my body gets what it needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-42215591769013096462011-11-08T12:04:47.537-08:002011-11-08T12:04:47.537-08:00I work really hard to get at least a balanced &quo...I work really hard to get at least a balanced "day" if not all of my meals can be that way.<br /><br />Because yeah- there's nothing worse than getting the shakes from realizing your lunch was too small... ugh!Amy B @ Second City Randomnesshttp://secondcityrandomness.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-53667863194004620552011-11-08T10:34:17.928-08:002011-11-08T10:34:17.928-08:00I very rarely balance my meals, but balance out ov...I very rarely balance my meals, but balance out over the day (so maybe I'll have veggies as a snack, but then just a bunch of carbs and fat for lunch and dinner - except, actually nuts and nut butters and yogurt have protein, too...). If I don't get everything in a day though (like if I just eat tons and tons of bread, granola, dairy, desserts, etc. and no veg or fresh fruits) I feel really icky.Living, Learning, Eatinghttp://living-learning-eating.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726291072122833610.post-88304197753966975922011-11-08T10:12:01.188-08:002011-11-08T10:12:01.188-08:00I need to get my meals balanced.

The other 10% are for eating out and those days when all I feel like cooking are smiley fries and chicken strips! :P<br /><br />I tend to try for a plate of thirds - starch (potatoes or rice), protein, veggies. It keeps me full and I sleep much better.Crystalnoreply@blogger.com
