Nutritiously Gourmet presents menus that are balanced in terms of nutrition and health. Optimal dietary balance suggests that total daily calories be distributed accordingly: 20% from fat, 10% from protein and the rest, 70%, from carbohydrates, primarily starches. Although this differs from prevalent American eating patterns, it is based on sound nutrition research and the latest information with regard to the prevention of chronic diseases, particularly coronary heart disease, many cancers, osteoporosis and obesity. Necessarily, menus emphasize plant foods over animal foods, maximizing nutrients and fibers and leaving you well fed and satisfied.
