Nutrition experts suggest simple meal adjustments for healthier eating

Nutrition experts suggest several simple methods to improve dietary habits through easy meal adjustments and increased fiber intake.

Dietitian Emily Case from Northwell Health recommends quick, three-ingredient meal options such as smoked salmon lettuce wraps, avocado egg white toast on sprouted bread, and rotisserie chicken quinoa bowls. These meals focus on lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber to support heart health and sustained energy.

To address the fact that many adults consume less than the recommended 30g of fiber daily, guidance suggests making small changes to existing routines. Effective strategies include choosing higher-fiber cereals or adding fruit to breakfast, leaving skins on potatoes, and swapping white pasta or rice for wholewheat or whole grain varieties.
