Habit 3: Healthy Lunch

Great work on completing the second week of Habitspark Diet Foundations!  At this point, you’ll retire the habit of  ’Track Habitspark progress’ and start Habit 3: Healthy Lunch.  So, you should now be tracking: Habit 1: Healthy Breakfast, Habit 2: Food Planning, & Habit 3: Healthy Lunch.

Habit 3: Healthy Lunch Eat a lunchtime meal every day in which you have (at least) the following:

• 1/4 plate protein
• 1/4 plate grains or starchy vegetables
• 1/2 plate non-starchy vegetables

This guide is for a 9″ plate, but you can use it with a standard dinner plate by pretending the lip of the plate doesn’t exist.  Remember, the big goal here is to get the nutrients you need.  Work towards picking more nutrient-rich choices, such as whole grains and healthy oils such as fish and flax oil.
