The ideal plate model for every meal
Every meal ideally consists of:
- Half a plate of colourful, non-starchy vegetables and/or fruit.
- A quarter of a plate of carbohydrate food
- A quarter of a plate of protein food.
This model applies to simple meals and mixed meals like pasta or stir-fried dishes.
It doesn't really matter when we eat, as long as we get the nutrition we need.

Diet and exercise
If you're exercising first thing in the morning, you may be better off not eating. But ensure you get a meal within two hours after your workout that contains carbs and protein.
If you're working out later in the day or evening, ensure you eat a meal with carbs and protein three to four hours before and two hours after your workout.
Hydration is essential to keep us well. So ensure you stay hydrated with water as your main drink.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
