 We want to eat better... We want to buy less processed, healthier ingredients… We don't want to sacrifice our taste buds to the fitness gods... BUT... we have no idea where to start! Let's reflect, what do we need to eat? Most of what we consume includes some combination of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Obviously, this is simplistic; I'm leaving out a LOT - vitamins and minerals, for instance.

Now, where to start to make said list? Below, I compiled a set of some sources of carbs, proteins, and fats that I feel are best for our bodies. I made sure not to discard the ones we love and are allowed to indulge in every now and then. Remember, it's a journey: it has to be sustainable and enjoyable. Use these ideas as a reference. Then, make your own list, taking into account the items you like and would like to try. Of course, you want to be mindful of any allergies or conditions that you might have! I promise you: expert meal prepper or not, these options can be very useful! How to read the guide:
