Deciding to eat healthier is a huge lifestyle change and if you’re the only one doing it in your relationship, it can cause tension between you and your partner. Come mealtime, it can be really stressful to eat healthily and to have food that your partner will also want to eat. But it doesn’t have to be a source of stress in your relationship. With these tips, everyone can be satisfied.
Make Healthy Swaps
Instead of using ingredients that have empty calories, substitute them for ones that have vitamins and nutrients. Swaps you can make include replacing red meat with lean protein or using low-fat dairy instead of full-fat.
Boost the Produce
Add more fresh veggies into your diet by having a serving of them on the side of your meals or adding them into the dish. Finish off your meal with something sweet by having a piece of fruit.
Choose Lean Protein
If you love burgers and meatball and spaghetti, you don’t have to eliminate them from your diet. Instead, make them healthier by using poultry or plant-based options.
Play with the Cooking Technique
Frying is super tasty and it makes food crispy, but it’s not the only way to get a crunch. If you can’t say no to fried foods, invest in an air fryer to get the same taste as fried foods, but without the added oil.
