Useful tips for lunch and dinner
Combine your breakfast the way you like it! I chose an option from each group.
Lunch is a "break" from daily routines and a midday pause.
It usually consists of a full meal, with high energy and
nutrient intake, which is later complemented
with a balanced evening supper or dinner.
Dinner should be planned taking into account the food groups
already eaten during the day. We should also try to pick
those easily digested, such as cooked vegetables, soups,
fish or dairy products, avoiding consuming them close to bedtime.
Try having a family meal every day
Avoid TV during mealtimes and engage in lively conversation with other family members, in a relaxed environment.
Use different cooking methods: Broil, bake, boil, or fry (occasionally)
Eat healthy foods in sensible portions, and encourage children to
help themselves small portions at a time, until they feel satisfied.
Encourage children to eat slowly and quietly, and serve foods at the right temperature.
Mealtime should be an excellent moment to learn good eating habits.
