IV. When It Comes to Grains, Always Choose Unrefined Grains

V. Make Sure That You Consume More Fruits and Vegetables
One essential step to making sure that you make healthier meals is to make sure that you utilize more healthy fruits and vegetables in your meals. The truth is most people often do not consume enough fruits and veggies so you want to strive to consume at least 5 to 13 servings of both per day. Always choose fruits and veggies that come in a variety of different colors as these tend to be packed full of important antioxidants and important vitamins that your body needs to thrive.

VI. Dont Use Too Much Meat
While it is true that meat is a great source of protein, you need to keep in mind that it is also a strong source of saturated fat which can lead to weight gain. With this in mind you want to make sure that you only consume small quantities of lean meat, including fish and poultry. Always fill up these rest of your plate with plenty of healthy vegetables and whole grain sources to leave you feeling incredibly full.

VII. Make Sure That You Keep Your Portion Sizes Reasonable
Even though some of us try to imagine that there is a magic button or pill out there that can help ensure that you do not gain weight at all, the truth of the matter is such a thing does not exist. However, there are many things that you can do to help prevent you from gaining excess weight. One of these things that you can do is manage how many calories you consume by making sure that you consume the proper portion size with every meal.

VIII. Dont Go Overboard with Sweeteners
While sugar, itself can be terrible on your body, the worst mistake that you can make is thinking that artificial sweeteners can be healthy for you. Regardless of what kind of sweetener you decide to use such as granulated sugar, honey, light brown sugar or even corn syrup, this is not at all recommended if you wish to make your meals healthier. These sweeteners dont contain any nutritional value so they should be avoided at all costs.

IX. Always Strive for Flavor
Even if you are using healthy ingredients, there are ways that you can enhance the flavor of your dish by only using some healthy ingredients. You can spice up your healthy meals using bold ingredients such as fresh herbs, various healthy spices and even citrus. When you make healthy foods that are packed full of delicious flavor, you will never feel as if you are being deprived at all.
