What gaps in your nutrition knowledge do you want to fill?

This is the topic on my new group I just joined...

My gaps that I would like to fill in my nutrition knowledge is proper portion sizes per meal, what is considered a healthy everyday kind of snack, and what can I feed my family that is healthy that we ALL will like to enjoy.

I am sure like most of my friends we all tried ALL sorts of 'diets'...most of which it never worked. Come to find out though changing the way you eat and healthy living/lifestyle/and proper nutrition is the way to go...Funny because my pediatrician always encourages me and my children to nutritious foods but how we 'ignore' this suggestion yet it eventually comes back as we get older.

I personally am about portion size...my trainer Hilary Hagner always told me to keep it in portion size...meats the size of my hand, as many veggies as I want and carbs less then my fist full...BUT how do I do this without looking like a crazy mad woman, which I am LOL JK, and eyeing it properly?

I have a weakness for chips or anything salty but what is considered as healthy in that department? You know what I am talking about girls...THAT TIME calls for SALT or even CHOCOLATE lol I just want some without the guilt or the extra pound.

My last gap is how can I still eat like we should but still make it where my family can't tell the difference of the fact it is 'Good for Them'? It has to be tasteful so they will finish their plate...

Hopefully I will have these questions answered and more...when I do I will share them with you :-)

  1. Welcome to Mamavation, first and foremost! I can't wait to see how you progress! It's definitely not an easy change to make, so start with little things. Change out your carbs for whole grains - brown rice instead of white or instant, whole wheat breads instead of white, etc. Slowly integrate fruit & veggies for snacks, celery with peanut butter, carrot sticks and the like. Just take baby steps and you'll do great!
