So, HOW to build Better & Healthier Salad or Wrap Meals that are delicious, satisfying and large enough to constitute a full Meal?

There are few important components to think about when building a Meal. The first is making sure it’s filling, both in size and nutrition. You can’t eat a small bowl of lettuce, tomatoes and carrots and expect to feel satisfied or full an hour later.

Meal needs to be substantial in size and have enough calories to constitute a Meal. Around 500-600 calories is a good place to start.

The second piece of the puzzle is making sure your food is satisfying; have a good mix of macro nutrients – protein, healthy fat and smart carbs, as well as a variety of flavors and textures. Toppings make all the difference.
