Adult Nutrition – Weight Loss & Gain Basics

Nutrition for Grown-Ups (But Still Fun)
Let’s face it, adulting is hard. So is figuring out what to eat. Here’s how to keep it simple (and maybe even tasty):
Weight Loss Basics
  • Portion control: Your plate isn’t an all-you-can-eat buffet.
  • Smart swaps: Try brown rice instead of white, or fruit instead of chips.
  • Hydrate: Sometimes you’re just thirsty, not hungry.
Weight Gain Basics
  • Add calories smartly: A bagel with peanut butter, or an extra scoop of rice, can make a big difference.
  • Protein matters: Chicken, fish, beans, and even cottage cheese.
  • Don’t fear carbs: They’re not the enemy—just don’t eat the whole loaf.
Pro Tip: You can’t out-train a donut, but you can enjoy one now and then. Balance is everything.
