"Food wellness is a term used to describe the ideal state for adopting healthy eating habits into a busy day-to-day life. When food wellness is achieved, the body and mind performs optimally. When one of these areas is missing, it is almost impossible to establish sustainable healthy eating habits. The Complete Plate shows that weight maintenance, and weight loss, can be achieved through a balanced diet of ingredients that come together to meet both nutritional and caloric demands. Featuring meal plans for a caloric diet of 1,500, 2,000, and 2,500 calories, it is a collection of 30 meal plans with each day perfectly balanced to provide 100% of your daily macro and micro nutrient needs (based on current daily recommended intake (DRI) values). The 90 recipes range from an indulgent "Coconut and Flax Seed French Toast" to a savory "Portobello and Prosciutto Pizza" to a nourishing "Creamy Corn, Ham, and Roast Pepper Chowder," and include additional snacks so that readers are satiated and energized throughout the day."-- Provided by publisher.
