Now, if I am eating the way that I probably should  (that means not starving myself or filling my hungry tummy with coffee or wine), then a meal would entail: two fruits/vegetables, one protein, one dairy, one grain, and one fat.  NEVER EVER EVER listen to my diet as a reference or a guide as to what you should be doing because I really don’t know what I am doing other than eating foods that make me feel good.
