Ultimate Fall Skillet

I call this one the ultimate Fall skillet 🍁🍂 Why? Because I pretty much took all the "Fall" foods, sauteed them in my cast iron skillet and voila 👌


This meal has carbs, fat, and protein. Aim to get a mix of these 3 macronutrients with every meal. A good strategy to get enough nutrition variety is mixing different color foods in your meals such as this skillet!


Question about portion sizes? Here's a helpful visual trick: 1 serving of carbs is the size of a cupped hand 🤲, 1 serving of protein is the size of a palm ✋, 1 serving of fat is the size of a thumb 👍, 1 serving of vegetables is the size of a fist 👊
