Eating fibrous carbohydrates in the form of green vegetables will provides lots of fiber and benefits to the body including filling up the stomach, aiding in digestion and elimination. Our bodies need protein to thrive and it best to consume protein with carbohydrates like grains, legumes, fruits or vegetables to reduce insulin spikes and mid-day burnout. There are great sources of meat, fish and vegetarian protein to choose from. Many people shy away from fat however fat is an excellent source of fuel and a great flavoring on our food. Avocados, nuts and olive oil are just some examples of fat sources. Here are some suggestions for food combining below.

Chicken salad with avocado
Rice with salmon and broccoli drizzled with olive oil
Snacks such as humus with cucumber and carrot sticks or celery with peanut/almond butter or cottage cheese with pineapple/berries
