3. How To Plan a Satisfying Meal • Diet culture has taught most of us that meal planning should revolve around eating as little as possible without kneeling over. We are rarely taught how to prepare a satisfying meal. In this post, we have highlighted some of the important tips to plan meals efficiently. • “Overeating” is caused by restriction, both intentional and unintentional. Because weight is so closely linked to how we perceive health, most of us have learned that “healthy” eating entails eating as little as possible without skipping important meals throughout the day. • We learn how to cut calories in recipes, how to practice portion control, and which food groups to avoid, but we rarely learn how to plan and prepare a satisfying meal. So, what does eating enough food at mealtime look like? It all depends! Because our energy requirements vary from day to day, so do our food requirements. https://archetype.health/

4. • This is where intuitive eating skills come into play, assisting you in determining how much and what types of food to consume in order to feel satisfied. However, we have shared some loose guidelines in this post that may be useful as you navigate intuitive eating. How to Plan a Satisfying Meal • When you are satisfied, rather than just full, your brain can focus on things other than the desire to eat. A nice thing for, you know, living a well-rounded life that doesn’t revolve around food. • While planning the meal, you should ensure that the meal contains all of the components for satisfaction. Here is a checklist you can use to ensure your meal has everything it needs to be satisfying 1. Carbohydrates • The body’s primary source of energy is glucose from carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are used by every cell in the body and are the only source of fuel for the brain. https://archetype.health/

5. • Because the brain consumes approximately 20% of total body energy, your body has a high demand for carbohydrates. • Nutrition experts recommend including a carb source from one of the following foods when meal planning: grains, beans, pulses, sweet potatoes, winter squash, parsnips, and so on. 2. Protein • You should also include protein-rich foods in your meals. When you consume protein, your body converts it into amino acids, which are then absorbed into your bloodstream. • Protein promotes the greatest release of peptide YY, a hormone that reduces appetite, and lowers levels of ghrelin, which stimulates appetite when compared to fat and carbohydrate. • To make a filling meal, include a protein source from one of the following foods: https://archetype.health/

6. • Chicken and meat • Seafood and fish • Eggs • Milk, yogurt, and cheese are all dairy products. • Black beans, chickpeas, lentils, butter beans, pinto beans, and other pulses. • seeds and nuts • Tofu, tempeh, and soybeans are all examples of soy products. • Meat substitutes include Beyond/Impossible Burger, foods containing wheat gluten/seitan, and so on. 3. Fat: • Fat is required for a satisfying meal. When you eat a fat-containing meal, sensors in the small intestine detect the higher-fat contents as they leave the stomach. • The body keeps food in your stomach longer by releasing the hormones that slow down gastric emptying. This is beneficial for both stabilizing blood glucose levels (because carbs from your meal leave your stomach more slowly) https://archetype.health/

7. • As a general rule, Most nutritionists recommend incorporating at least one or two sources of fat into each meal. Consider how much fat to use from a culinary rather than a nutritional standpoint. • Here are some fats to try: • Olive, canola, sunflower, vegetable, soybean, sesame, peanut, and other oils • Shortening, butter, lard, and margarine 4. Volume • Not only does the body require all of the macronutrients for a satisfying meal, but it also requires a sufficient volume of food to feel satisfied. • This is because, besides the mechanisms that sense the presence of fat, protein, and carbohydrate entering the bloodstream, the stomach also has receptor cells that are triggered as it fills. https://archetype.health/

8. • A meal can contain fat, protein, and carbohydrates, but it will not be satisfying if you do not consume enough calories. • Another way to get more produce is to include it in your meals (fruit or vegetables). Placing an amount of food that you wouldn’t feel bad about serving to someone else is a good way to ensure you get a good volume of food. • Incorporating produce (fruit or vegetables) into your meals is another way to get food groups, but it provides a snack-like amount of food that is rarely satisfying as a full meal on its own. The fiber in veggies and fruits also helps keep food in your stomach longer, keeping you satisfied until your next meal or snack. 5. Pleasure • Last, but certainly not least, is a pleasure. So far, I have discussed the biological triggers for the fullness. However, we’re aiming for satisfaction here, which means eating a meal that meets your physical and emotional needs. To do that, consider pleasure when deciding what to eat. https://archetype.health/

9. • Sometimes you just have to eat what’s available because other needs take priority over pleasure at the moment. When you know that more delicious food is on the way, it feels okay to eat for the time being. The best example is a cheat day while dieting.
