fresh&easy, Dr. Wendy Bazilian & friends TweetChat on healthy eating

The conversation was far-ranging from portion control, our favorite superfoods (and scandalous confessions of a dislike of coconut water, lol), snacking smart and more.

  6. First, Wendy took on the question of getting the right nutrients into our diets...
  7. EatMoveBe
    One essential rule I always try to follow is to have a fruit AND/OR veggie at EVERY meal and at least 1 snack. @FrugalDivaAlert #fneeatwell

  8. And about getting lunchbox snacks, kid friendly foods and all still being aware of sugar intake?
  9. FreshandEasy

    re: picky eaters - my daughter is one but much less picky when she sees the ingredients and helps prepare the food. #FnEEatWell

    20% (1 in 5) of our calories in America come from sugar-sweetened beverages! We can do better. Hydrate first with water + teas! #fneeatwell

  17. Then, a question about egg replacers took us on a fairly in-depth discussion about the benefits and many uses of flax seeds!
  18. KristineSwisher
    @FreshandEasy @eatmovebe What type of egg replacers can u suggest besides apple sauce and egg replacer mixes? #fneeatwell

    On egg replacers - in addition I like to work with canned pumpkin and cooking down prunes (pumpkin is milder; prunes sweeter #fneeatwell
