If you only learn one thing from me, let it be this: you can eat well without weighing food or tracking a single calorie.

Picture your plate in three parts. Fill half with vegetables or fruit — color and fiber. Fill a quarter with a protein you enjoy — eggs, beans, fish, tofu, chicken. Fill the last quarter with a slow carb like oats, rice, potatoes, or whole-grain bread. Add a thumb of fat: olive oil, avocado, nuts, or seeds.

That's it. No app, no guilt. Do this most of the time and the rest takes care of itself.
