Robin Foroutan, a registered dietitian nutritionist, describes healthy eating as a spectrum.
"Even if you can get things 80% right," she said, "you're doing a great job."
But the 80% can easily be whittled away if you slip up and order out because your house isn't stocked with good, healthy options.
"If you've got some main staples at home you can put together a quick meal or a quick snack faster than it takes delivery to get to your house," she said.
That's reassuring, but not if you don't stock up. Foroutan and clinical dietitian Marina Chaparro suggest keeping these in the house to avoid slip-ups:Sprouted lentils, Foroutan said, are easier to digest than their un-sprouted versions and cook in about half the time of normal lentils. They can fast become a side dish or main course when cooked with broth, herbs and spices. Foroutan recommends turmeric, thyme, garlic and onion.
Sprouted lentils also are shelf stable and good sources of protein and slow-burning carbohydrates.Low sodium and organic packaged soups can make quick, healthy meals or snacks. Just make sure to avoid the preservatives.
Sure the vegetables may not be as fresh, but Foroutan says you have to do the best you can do. She suggests choosing soups without cream bases and containing plenty of vegetables and grains. Options include vegetable, bean, chicken and wild rice soup among others.
