Good Morning! I'm Maye and I'm going to take you shopping with me. So how did I come to be a dietitian? Although I modeled, I was a science nerd. I didn't know how excited I would be about being a dietitian how much I would enjoy helping people to eat better. On a typical day I'll wake up in the morning and I love bread. It's one of my favorite foods. I always look for a fresh whole grain bread. A little butter on it and then have scrambled eggs. Keeps me full and gives me a lot of energy for the morning. At 69, I really have to watch my weight but at any age we need to be careful that way because you need to stay in good health. I never skip breakfast because otherwise I'm hungry by 10 o'clock and then I'll eat anything in sight so you have to change that cycle and have a smaller dinner and then be hungry for breakfast in the morning. I like to have a salad for lunch and I love a variety of foods in my salad. Definitely I wouldn't mind scallions, carrots and these are a variety of carrots but I'l have tomatoes and onions and chickpeas. I love a lot of beans and peas It's my favorite foods. I'm not into fruit drinks. There's less fiber in it Say you drink a cup of orange juice that's three oranges and if I told you to eat three oranges you'd be very full but if you drink a cup of orange juice you don't even consider it calories or a food. You certainly aren't full after that. So for dinner I like to do a 15 bean soup which is dried beans and various beans and lentils, cook it for 90 minutes and then I add lots of vegetable salad. Add a whole head of broccoli. I would add quite a few carrots, tomatoes whatever, cauliflower, whatever vegetables I love. I would then cook it all up, add some wild rice to it and then here I'll have this big pot. And then I put them into two cup containers plastic containers and then I put them in the freezer so at anytime I can take it out and I would have enough for a lunch and a dinner or an afternoon snack and dinner and then I'll add some wholewheat bread with it a little bit of butter on it. Love it. Now here are some of my favorite foods Apples. I love apples. And pears I love. Grapes, I love Grapes. To me it's like candy and you know I have such a huge sweet tooth that if I can eat this then I can cope without too much temptation. So I've got my apples and my fruit. Thank you for shopping with me today.
