Obviously low-calorie and low-carb are different than “healthy”, but they are much easier to identify when reading a nutritional label. What should someone be looking out for to still eat (relatively) healthy without only eating raw veggies?
In: Biology
There’s no such thing as “healthy” or “unhealthy” food. All food contains nutrients of one form or another — that’s what makes it *food* — and no individual serving of any food is going to impact your health one way or the other.
However, there are *combinations* of nutrients that, *over time*, will impact your health positively or negatively.
The brief version is that you want a diet that is *balanced* between proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and contains other essential nutrients (minerals, vitamins, etc.).
