Good Cravings

Remember these are guides. Your family’s recipe could look super different from the options given above.

Another important aspect I want to mention is the amount of calories aren’t the end all be all. By that I mean, typically homemade dishes are made with more whole food ingredients which means there more micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in the dishes.

Many times are there artificial ingredients added to pre-packaged foods. So maybe a pre-packaged food has less calories but what you’re putting in your body isn’t necessarily better.

All that to say, I know you probably don’t have access to all the ingredients of each dish so make the best decision you can with what’s in front of you and enjoy your meal and time with your loved ones!
