Why eating two burgers could be healthier than adding a side of fries, according to a nutritionist

  • Nutritionist and registered dietitian Emily Field takes an unconventional approach to eating healthy.
  • She encourages clients to think about macronutrients when they choose a meal.
  • Balancing fat, carbohydrates, and protein can help curb cravings and keep energy levels steady throughout the day.
Instead of adding fries to that order, you might want to consider a second burger.
While conventional wisdom might tell you that eating a second anything is a bad choice from a nutritional perspective, there's something more important to consider: balance.
Registered dietitian and nutritionist Emily Field encourages her clients to think about that word before a meal, rather than labeling certain foods "bad" or "good."
To do this, she encourages people to think about three components of a food - fat, carbohydrates, and proteins. Protein fuels your muscles and keeps you feeling full, carbohydrates provide energy, and fat helps us absorb vitamins and minerals while keeping cells healthy. Keeping those nutrients roughly even means you'll have fewer cravings, less desire to binge, and more control when you do eat, Field told Business Insider. So if a meal has a good balance of those three things, it's an okay choice.
"I want people to be able to approach any food, any situation, and know that they can still make a responsible choice for their body," she said. healthy food eating salad egg tomato vegetables
