- Are potatoes good or bad?
- What about eggs?
- Can I eat pasta?
- Is cheese okay?
- Do I have to live without bacon? (We told you about the desperation.)
To add to the confusion, it’s not always obvious how to classify a food. Is it mostly protein? A carbohydrate? A fat? Many people know to eat a mix of these macronutrients, yet aren’t sure how that looks in “real food”. The result: more questions.That’s why we created this handy, visual food guide. It’s designed to help you make healthier choices, no matter your knowledge of nutrition.But don’t expect a list of “approved” and “off-limits” foods. Instead, we like to think of foods on a spectrum from “eat more” to “eat some” to “eat less”.This approach promotes one of the most crucial philosophies that runs through our nutrition coaching method: Progress, not perfection.Use our continuums to make choices that are “just a little bit better,” whether you’re eating at home, dining out with friends, or dealing with banquet buffets on a work trip.Plus, learn how to:
- Incorporate a mix of proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates, and fat.
- Strategically improve your food choices—based on where you are right now—to feel, move, and look better.
- Customize your intake for your individual lifestyle and (of course) taste buds.
As a bonus, we’ve even provided you space to create your own personal continuum. That way, you can build a delicious menu of healthy foods that are right for you—no questions asked.
