How can I create a healthy meal plan?
assistant
Creating a healthy meal plan can start with making a list of nutritious foods that you like to eat. Then plan out meals and snacks that incorporate those foods. Make sure to include foods from the five food groups, which are fruits and vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy, and healthy fats. You should also try to include meals and snacks that provide a balance of essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals. To make meal planning easier, plan for a few days or even a week in advance. Finally, make healthier versions of your favorite meals by adding different ingredients or substituting some ingredients for healthier alternatives.
