- Balance the plate: add plenty of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, sayote, broccoli) and include a serving of fruit if it’s not yet in your day.
- Watch sodium: if you’re using any seasoning or broth, go easy on salty sauces and consider lighter seasoning.
- Choose cooking style: boiling is a good start; avoid deep-frying or adding extra oil.
- For snacks between meals, pick lighter options (e.g., yogurt, fruit, or nuts in small portions) so your day stays balanced.
