[CHAT] Healthy Eating Aug 13
Healthy eating is relevant to all of us and not only does it effect our physical health, but our mental health too. Our diets are made up of a variety of nutrients, so knowing what is healthy and what isn't can be pretty hard to navigate. But if we have the knowledge, we have the power! The power to make healthy choices that is 
Join us on Monday the 13th of August at 7:30 PM AEST to have a chat about what healthy eating is and how we can make healthy choices for ourselves. If you're interested in doing some research beforehand check out the information here! This fact sheet outlines the macro nutrients in food, and how we use them in our bodies.
Definitely would work for that! Because wholemeal/wholegrain pasta is better for you apparently 🙂
actually speaking of pasta, my mum tried the zuhccini pasta too both fresh and the packet one (its all green coloured) the fresh i wasnt a fan but the packet one was ok, you couldnt really taste the difference between that and the white pasta. jsut thought id meantion it incase others like that sort of thing too 🙂
It can sometimes be boring! If I am rushed or tired then trying to make a healthy meal can be a huuuuuge pain. However, I actually really enjoy cooking so when I have time to actually plan a meal out then I find it fun 🙂 I enjoy tweaking recipes to include more veggies/ingredients that I like. I often cook big batches of things too so when I am in a lazy mood I can just heat it up.
Anyone here a Reddit user? Shout out to /r/MealPrepSunday which is awesome for this sort of stuff 😄
hmm yes it can be! im never enticed by just picking up a piece of fruit id rather be baking something so i guess it depends on whats avaliable 🙂
Though really, I hadn't eaten that badly for the last week and haven't snacked for quite a while so was pretty happy with being able to indulge throughout the party. When it's not special though, it's really unhelpful.
I think recognising my naughty habits and making sure I plan ahead of time. If I don't plan ahead of time then sometimes I don't eat as healthy as I want to.
i think healthy eating is eating a well balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegies! hmm yes i do think the occassional snack is still considered healthy eating because its not a daily snack
I think healthy eating is having a balanced diet, trying to have lots of fruit and vegetables and trying to cook at home so you know what you're putting inside.
Restaurants tend to put a lot of salt or msg in their food.
I think having the occasional treat is completely fine and human! It's hard to be 100% all the time and it's important to enjoy your life 🙂
For me healthy eating is making sure I eat lots of veggies, legumes and fruit and making sure I am getting the nutrients I need. I think it's ok and pretty much unavoidable to eat junk food sometimes 🙂
heathy eating is to help maintain your health and being able to function for the day. healthy eating is to give the right nutrients to give yourself the correct energy. i think if you eat something unhealthy rarely then it won’t effect your health but if you eat it constantly than you’re not receiving the right nutrition.
What do you think healthy eating is? Do you think eating the odd snack snack (chips, ice cream) is still considered healthy eating?
I may or may not be about to get some more chocolate as I type this 😛 To me healthy eating is about giving your body what it needs to function optimally. I figure that the brain is part of the body, and therefore if we're craving something then it's okay to indulge a little (provided you've eaten all your veggies first! :P)
What do you think healthy eating is? Do you think eating the odd snack snack (chips, ice cream) is still considered healthy eating?
I think healthy eating is all about eating a balanced diet that is full of fruits, veggies, protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates. I eating the odd snack is still considered healthy, providing they are eaten in moderation :).
