How to pick a side that balances your plate

Look at your main first. If it’s heavy on protein and light on carbs, pair it with a potato or grain side. If it already has carbs, go for vegetables or a crunchy salad.

I love sides that add volume, like roasted vegetables and slaws. They fill the plate for very few calories.

Every side shows its macros, so you can add it to your main and know exactly where your meal lands.
