By Nicole Muller, Dietetic Intern at Meredith College and the Duke Lifestyle & Weight Management Center Nutrition Team.
Every March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates nutrition and food and encourages everyone to spend some time learning how to make the best choices for themselves! This year’s theme is “Personalize Your Plate“. You nourish and fuel your body through each bite of food you eat. Although it may seem simple in theory, choosing nutritious foods can be difficult, especially when we have many other things to think about. Fortunately, there are many ways to make healthy choices easy choices.
Just as with planning, preparing meals does not have to take hours and hours. Try these tips to cut down on cooking time.
Registered dietitians have the education and qualifications to help you meet your nutrition and health goals and answer any questions you may have.
