You actually don't have to know a ton about nutrition, calorie content, good vs. bad fats, grams of protein, etc. to eat and be healthy - in some ways it is easier than you think. One good rule I like: The more color, the better!

| Sure, it's delicious - but not so nutritional. |
It is not a coincidence that food having superior nutritional value for us is far more colorful than those foods that are not. (Just to clarify - I'm not talking about artificial foods here - we all know that Fanta comes in some bright fun colors, but let's be honest, it's not good for the body).
As such, if you're trying to eat healthier, it can be as simple as adding more color to your plate! For example, skip the brown potatoes and white rice, and instead go for baked beet root or yellow squash!
My favorite super foods are full of color: Seaweed, red and yellow bell peppers, olives, blackberries, sharon fruit, grapefruit, parsley, kale, and cherries!
