The weather is getting warmer, and it won’t be long before it is time to squeeze into those skimpy swimsuits. Hopefully, you’ve been watching your calories and exercising regularly throughout the winter so it won’t be too much of a struggle. However, if too many nights of sedentary snacking have left you feeling weighted down, get back to the basics of good nutrition. Susan L. Wiley, marketing specialist, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, suggests that a basic meal plan from the four food groups will allow you to get the most nutrition for the least amount of calories.
From the meat group, choose lean red meats, skinned poultry and low-fat seafoods which can be grilled and basted with a low-calorie herb salad dressing. Keep serving sizes small (about three ounces) and do not serve with heavy, rich sauces.
Fresh vegetables and fruits will start flowing in to supermarktets in plentiful supplies as the spring season gets into full swing. When fresh green beans, tomatoes, spinach, green peas, spring onions, asparagus and summer squash start appearing, plan to use them daily in your light meals. Be sure to cook fresh vegetables just until tender to avoid the dull flavor and mushy texture which results from overcooking. Season vegetables with just one teaspoon butter per serving and sprinkle with dill weed or lemon juice.
