Today’s Discussion

Meal Planning Tips

1. Keep it simple
   Downscale recipes that serve four or more
   Choose recipes with 8 ingredients or less.
   One-pot meals (e.g. stews or casseroles) make for
    easier clean up.

Meal Planning Tips

2. Make it convenient
   Keep an ongoing shopping list
   Consider online shopping/delivery grocery service.
   Stock your kitchen with ready-to-go items (e.g. canned
    or frozen beans and vegetables, cooked chicken
    breast, canned sauces, etc.)

Meal Planning Tips

3. Enjoy cooking and eating
   Eat at regular intervals and take pleasure in eating.
   Turn on some nice dinner music during food prep.
   Avoid fatigue. Sit down at the table to chop your food.
   Take advantage of days you have more time & energy

                                                              10
Meal Planning Tips

3. Enjoy cooking
   Be efficient. Think “max” prep with “min” clean up
   Join a cooking class or watch YouTube videos for more
    inspiration
   Socialize. Cook with friends or organize a “meal
    exchange” or potluck.

                                                            11
Meal Planning Tips

4. Think leftovers
   Batch cooking. Cook extra servings of rice or pasta,
    meats, and vegetables to repurpose into new meals:
      Rice: Stir Fry, Jambalaya, Soups, Wraps, or Freeze it!
      Chicken: Quesadillas, Chicken Salad, Casseroles, or Freeze it!
      Vegetables: Pizzas, Quiche, Soups, Pasta Sauces
   Safe food storage. Label and date your leftovers. FIFO.

                                                                        12
Meal Planning Tips

5. Keep it healthy
      Substitute ingredients. Use plain yogurt instead of cream in
       recipes. Use applesauce instead of butter or oil when baking.
      Spice it up. Use salt-free seasonings and herbs to provide
       taste to foods while reducing the need for salt.
      Follow the balanced plate method.

Shopping Tips

1. Choose foods that will last
   Check best before dates
   Pick fruits and vegetables that are firm, without bruises
2. Save Money
     Take advantage of loyalty programs that save you
      money on groceries (e.g. PC Optimum)
     Price Match. Make use of flyers or apps (e.g. Flipp)
     Make a grocery list and avoid shopping while hungry

                                                                15
Shopping Tips
     Buy in bulk if you plan to use the food within its shelf
      life. Buying in bulk is not always a money-saver.
     Check the “unit price” to compare prices

                                                                 16

Nutrition Myths – BUSTED

   Angela Wallace, MSc. RD
     Eat Right Feel Right
Nutrition Myths – BUSTED

•   Eggs and cholesterol
•   Carbohydrates
•   Types of sugars
•   Eating at night
•   Fresh over frozen
•   You need fewer
    nutrients once you
    reach 60
“Low fat is healthier for you”
A low fat diet doesn’t necessarily
mean a healthy diet
Fact  instead focus on getting a diet
rich in healthy fats
    – Healthy fats include the mono and
      polyunsaturated fats found in
      vegetable oils, fatty fish, nuts, and
      seeds

Recommendation: Avoid trans fats,
somewhat limit saturated fats, and
make healthy fats a part of your daily
diet.
    – Always read the food label
“Eggs are bad for your heart”
Egg yolks are high in cholesterol,
however the effect on your actual
blood cholesterol is quite minimal

Fact  trans fats and saturated
fats play a much stronger role in
blood cholesterol (e.g. fat on
steak, butter, etc.)

Recommendation: a healthy
individual can have 1 egg each day,
however those with heart disease,
high cholesterol, or diabetes
should try to limit their egg intake
to 2-4 eggs per week
“Carbohydrates make you gain weight”
Carbohydrates don’t make
you gain weight, overeating
and too many calories does –
it won’t matter if these
calories come from carbs,
protein, or fat

Fact  by cutting out healthy
carbs, like whole-grains,
beans, and fruit your body
will be missing its main source
of energy and important
nutrients and vitamins (e.g.
Vitamin Bs, fibre etc.)
“Carbohydrates make you gain
               weight”
• Low Carb versus Low Fat for
  Weight Loss?

Recommendation: Focus on the
type of carbohydrate you are
eating (quality) and the portion
size (quantity)
For example, whole grains are a
good quality source of carbs and
full of fiber and other nutrients
“Raw sugar is better than white sugar”
Sugar is sugar – bottom line!

Fact  our bodies break down any
form of sugar we eat to glucose
(which our bodies then use for
energy)

Honey, maple syrup, and agave are
all natural forms of sugar, however
they act in our bodies like all the
refined forms of sugar

Recommendation: 6 teaspoons of
sugar or 30 grams
“Fresh is better than frozen”
Frozen fruit and vegetables are
just as nutritious as fresh fruits
and vegetables.

Fact  frozen produce is usually
frozen quickly after harvest which
prevents any deterioration and
allows the nutrients to be
preserved

Recommendation: both frozen an
fresh fruits and vegetables are
nutritious, use whatever works
best
“Eating too much sugar will give me
              diabetes”
• Although type 2 diabetes is linked to high
   levels of sugar in the blood, it does not
   mean that eating sugar causes this
   disease
Fact  there are several other factors that
play a role
     – Too much fat in the diet
     – Overweight/obesity
     – Gestational diabetes
     – Inactivity (less than 3 times per week)
     – Ethnic groups
     – Family history
‘’ Eating too much sugar will give me
               diabetes”
• In type 2 diabetes the cells in your body
  aren’t responding to insulin as well as
  they should be
• So…your sugar sits in your blood – causing
  you to fatigue

Recommendation: You don’t have to avoid
any food or beverage completely, however
you should be more cautious about how
much sugar you are eating in order to help
manage your risk and overall health.
Focus on eating a healthy well balanced diet
and moving more!
“Eating at night can make you gain
               weight”
Calories are calories, it doesn’t
necessarily matter what time of
the day you eat them

Fact  overeating in the late
hours can be problematic, not
necessiarly the time you are
eating

Recommendation: evaluate your
physical hunger when your
looking to snack in the evening
and try to eat more throughout
the day
“You need fewer nutrients as you age”

• You will require less calories as
   you age (compared to younger
   adults), however even in older age
   you still require a healthy amount
   of nutrients
Fact  as we age our ability to absorb
nutrients decreases, so with age you
actually need more nutrients

Recommendations: focus on getting a
variety of foods during each meal of
snack
Think of the healthy plate model
“Seniors don’t need to worry about
               nutrition”
Fact  nutrition is important at any
age, it is never too late to be healthier
• Young or old, everyone can benefit
   from more fruits and vegetables,
   whole grains, lots of water, protein,
   healthy fats, etc.
• The better you eat, the better you
   feel

Recommendation: do your best to eat
healthy balanced meals each day.
Think about filling half your plate with
fruits and veggies
“It’s ok to skip meals”
Fact  Skipping meals can cause you to
1) overeat at your next meal
2) drop in blood sugar levels
3) Skipping meals will make it difficult to
     get all the nutrients you need in a day

Recommendation: even if you are not
hungry, try to eat smaller meals
throughout the day.
• Aim to have 2-3 food groups at each
   meal or snack
• Plan your meals ahead of time
• Eat at regular times throughout the
   day
• Keep it simple (e.g., slice of bread,
   peanut butter and a hard boiled egg)
