What to know

Protein, fiber-rich foods, fats, fluids, and total energy can all influence satisfaction.

Meal needs vary by body, activity, health conditions, culture, and medication.

A template is more adaptable than a list of forbidden foods.

This week’s practice

Turn the lesson into one useful experiment.

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Add produce, beans, or another fiber-rich food.

  3. 3

    Notice satisfaction and energy without assigning morality.

Questions to take into care

Do my conditions or medications change my nutrition needs?

Would a registered dietitian referral help?
