Balancing Meals
I have a weird question. Lets say one day you have a lot of variety of foods. Fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs, milk, cereal, etc. Then, by the end of the day you have a cookie or two. Would that be ok to do since it would be balancing it out? If you had a lot of nutrients & good foods throughout the day, does a treat hurt it? or does it balance it & not really do anything? Thanks!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
well, it depends on if you're trying to loose weight or not.
naturally, its not good or bad for you. so it won't really do anything.
just don't go overboard and stick to the serving size
hope i helped :)

eating something sweet is fine every now and then, especially if youre eating a large variety of foods, and have a healthy balance of foods. it doesnt neccessarily "balance" it out, but it is fine to have something small every day if you're eating healthy. just dont overdo the junk food and sweets.

When people refer to a balanced diet, they're talking about the proper amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fats in addition to the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals. Balanced does not mean some amount of junk food and some nutritious food. That being said, a couple of cookies or something, while they don't contribute to a balanced diet, are not usually harmful. It's all about portion control and regulating your diet. A treat once in a while is not usually harmful and might be helpful in keeping you satisfied and motivated to eat properly the rest of the time.
