Eat a balanced plate of vegetables, lean protein, nutrient-rich carbs, and healthy fats for every meal
Include healthy snacks as needed to help maintain energy
Drink plenty of water to help keep hydrated and support normal bodily functions, including digestion (try to drink at least half of your body weight each day in ounces of water)
