I make myself a dish of kraft dinner or ramen noodles for a meal quite often. Not good :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016960 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:44:23 +0000 luckypenny 1016960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! Heck no! Lol I tend to eat just one at a time. Salad (all veggies), fruit, carbs (though I do mix it with cheese so it's a protein right? ;) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016879 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:06:46 +0000 PurplePeony 1016879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty bad about it. I always err way too much on the side of starch and too little on the side of veggies. I NEED to be better about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016806 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:43:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 1016806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying and getting better, but we love our carbs, but I've been upping our veggie intake, I never made them since DH avoided them but with LO now we all eat them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016770 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:33:40 +0000 yin 1016770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meals consists of protein with a lot of veggies these days. I limit my carb intake due to GD and only eat it between meals. I would like to think I have a pretty healthy diet. What I lack during meals I try to make up during snack time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016663 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:00:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1016663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, dinner and lunch is always a protein, veg and starch. Sometimes no on the starch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016654 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:58:37 +0000 heffalump 1016654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually good about it for dinner, but breakfast and lunch are so rushed that it's hard for those meals. Luckily my LO loves fruit so she'll at least ask for something (banana, blueberries, peach, etc) even if I didn't offer it to her. She's way more healthy then I am :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-eat-balanced-meals#post-1016649 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:55:49 +0000 sunny 1016649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you always try to prepare balanced meals for each meal? Eg. Protein, fiber, starch, etc?</p> <p>We try to but don't always succeed. Often we have meals that are too carbo heavy or are basically just meat and potatoes without enough veggies. I'm trying to work on this so that our LO eats more nutritiously than we do! </p>
