Simple Swaps to Make Your Favorite Meals Healthier
Who says eating healthier means giving up your favorite dishes? Not us, at Unbeaten Fitness! We believe in creating balance, not restrictions. With a few simple swaps, you can give your favorite meals a healthy makeover, without sacrificing flavor. Let’s get into it!
Swap White for Whole
When it comes to grains, go whole or go home! Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread offer more fiber and nutrients than their white, refined counterparts. Next time you’re planning to dish up some rice or sandwiches, consider swapping white rice or bread for brown rice or whole wheat bread.
Swap Frying for Baking, Grilling, or Steaming
We all love a good crunch, but frying can add excess fats and calories to your dishes. Try baking, grilling, or steaming instead. These cooking methods preserve the flavor and nutrients of your food, while reducing the unnecessary fats.
Swap Regular Salt for Light Salt or Herbs and Spices
Give your sodium shaker a break! High salt consumption can lead to water retention and high blood pressure. Instead, try using light salt, which contains less sodium, or switch things up with herbs and spices for low-sodium flavor boosts.
Swap Sugary Drinks for Water or Unsweetened Beverages
A cold soda or sweetened ice tea may hit the spot, but they come with a sugar overload. Swap them out for water or unsweetened beverages and you’ll cut calorie intake without losing out on hydration.
