PRINCE GEORGE – Hot dogs, chips, and backyard BBQ’s.

‘Tis the season for many of these and with health restrictions lifting there’s a high likelihood you’re in for plenty of food this summer that doesn’t count as healthy.

But how much is too much?

“Canada’s Food Guide promotes eating more plant-based proteins, so maybe adding some peanut butter with your toast or oatmeal sounds good to you, or maybe sprinkling some nuts in your salad,” says Emilia Moulechkova, a Dietician from Northern Health.

Northern Health says with many of us spending more time at home, taking that as an opportunity to share a meal or snack with people in your household can be a really great way to spend some quality time together while eating healthy.
