To cook a healthy meal, start by selecting nutritious ingredients. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy. You can also look for creative, healthful recipes online or within cookbooks. When cooking, try to avoid adding extra salt, sugar and fat to your food, and use healthy cooking methods such as grilling, poaching, steaming or baking. Finally, make sure to pay attention to portion sizes when you're serving the meal.
