Hi everyone:
With my heart issues, I'm looking to switch to a more heart-healthy diet. Prior to the issues I've had, I was eating a typical American teenage diet: pizza, burgers, etc.
But the one problem I have with eating healthy is that it's hard to find things that are healthy yet truly satisfying. If I try to limit myself to a simple salad or an apple for lunch, I always end up stopping at McDonald's an hour later anyway. Some of it is will power, I know, but most of it is not knowing/having healthy AND satisfying options.
Any suggestions on meals, dishes, snacks that you like that are healthy? Recipes would be appreciated for the more elaborate dishes.
I guess one dish that I like that is somewhat healthy is:
Baked salmon, baked with mushrooms and onions, served over whole wheat pasta.
Any others?
