A List of Good Healthy Foods to Eat Daily

It can sometimes be hard to find the right good healthy foods to eat daily. People are usually too busy at work or college to concentrate on eating healthy all the time. In a perfect world people would only eat non processed organic food and maintain a diet that is full of their daily need of vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately a busy schedule can spoil this.

The perfect amount of calories for a woman is around 2000 kcals and 2500 kcals for a man, per day. This needs to be calories full of fibre and all the other nutrition need to maintain a healthy body. The vast majority of people take extra vitamin supplements but if their diet was correct they would have no need for these extra vitamins. In this article I am going to show you a test diet plan that will help you identify good healthy foods to eat.

A List of Good Healthy Foods to Eat Daily

1st Meal

- A cereal that is high in fibre and low in sugar. Porridge would be the best option or weet-bix (wheat a bix). With this have just skimmed or semi skimmed milk - 200 Calories

- A Piece of fruit. A banana is the best fruit to have early in the morning. - 72 Calories

2nd Meal

- 30g of almond nuts (with the brown skin). This is about 1 full handful of almonds. - 160 Calories

- 1 scoop of protein mixed in water. Make sure it is just pure protein power not the ones with creatine or carbs mixed in. This supplement compliments the good healthy foods to eat daily perfectly. (about 20g of protein) - 130 Calories

3rd Meal

- 250g of grilled or oven cooked meat (steak or chicken is my favourite). 50g of broccoli, 30g of carrots, serving of lettuce. Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to your lettuce. - 670 Calories

4th Meal

- A multigrain sandwich with meat of your choice. No processed meat they are not considered good healthy foods to eat. - 300 Calories

5th Meal

- 200g of grilled or oven cooked meat with 40g of vegetables of your choice. - 460 Calories

The first think you are going to be thinking here is "I am not trying to build muscle, why so much protein?". A common mistake for people is that their diet is full of poor quality carbs and doesn't contain enough good protein for a goo source. A diet with a moderate amount of protein will help to tone your muscles and maintain a healthy body weight so protein is definitely one of the good healthy foods to eat daily.

Super Berry Smoothie Recipe!

I just like smoothies and thought I’d share how I make mine! Remember to wash your fruit before putting in the blender✨

•1/2 cup of strawberries, chopped

•1/2 cup of raspberries

•1/2 cup of blueberries

•2 bananas, chopped

•1 pot of honey yoghurt - you could use any though!

•300 ml of oat milk (add more if it’s still too thick!) - again, you could whichever your preference is!

•Blend together until smooth

•Taste test! If it’s not sweet enough to your taste, add a tablespoon of sweetener. This is also the point where you can add in extra milk if it’s too thick!

•Blend again for added ingredients to ensure they’re properly mixed

•Enjoy!

I hope this has been useful! If anyone tries it, please let me know🍓🌟

How to grill watermelon:

INGREDIENTS:

1 personal-sized watermelon (about 3 pounds)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest (from 1 to 2 limes)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Lime wedges from zested lime, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat the grill to high. Heat an outdoor gas grill to high, or prepare a charcoal grill for high, direct heat grilling.

Cut the watermelon. Trim the ends off the watermelon. Stand the watermelon on one cut end, cut in half, then cut each half in half again. Cut the quarters into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

Season the watermelon. Combine the sugar, lime zest, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Sprinkle the watermelon slices on both sides with the sugar mixture, then rub the sugar mixture in to create an even coating.

Grill the watermelon. When the grill is hot, add the watermelon slices in a single layer and grill until warmed through and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Serve. Serve the grilled watermelon on its own with lime wedges, topped with feta cheese or Greek yogurt, or as dessert with a scoop of ice cream.

Why do we suffer from so many health problems today? Why is it that all sorts of diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, obesity, and mental disorders are on the rise? This is not how it was a few generations ago, and the truth is that the basic problem lies in our altered lifestyle, which has made junk, readymade, tinned, and canned food our staple diet.

I love baking cake with my mom (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Here is my perfect recipe for a sponge cake base:

150g sugar

1 package of vanilla sugar

5 eggs

150g wheat flour

Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius / 320 degrees Fahrenheit . Grease a springform pan well. Mix sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs for 10 minutes. Carefully fold in flour with a whisk. Bake for 35 minutes.

Use half of the recipe if you want a thinner base, the baking time will be reduced a bit.

Enjoy!

Update: Mom and me have no idea why y'all like this simple cake so much but we think it's cute ^^
