Healthy Catering Is Good For Business Meetings

By Matthew Howard


The foodie culture is many things to many people. Through the internet, television, and other media people have embraced food on many levels. Tutorials demonstrate how the kitchen novice can make simple meals in little time. People are more willing to experiment with different flavors and techniques. Most importantly, there are many outlets that show how to make nutritionally sound meals taste good. This has lead to more people choosing healthy catering companies for their events and gatherings.

It is not about eating large amounts of food or creating weird combinations but the role nutrition plays in the meals eaten every day. More people want to be healthy and not just be lean in size. However, there was a time when people looked forward to having their meat and potatoes on a daily basis.

There was once a time when professionals liked to have what was called a power breakfast or lunch. This entailed eating nearly a platter of dense foods, with meat or starch being the main course. After a while, people realized that the portions did not provide energy but made them lethargic. Other people found that they gained weight since their jobs were sedentary and they had little desire to work out after punching a clock. Eventually, the power meal went out of style and sustainable foods were in.

This has led to more people giving up meat and dairy products. Although some choose this way of life for a number of reasons, many have found it to be the perfect way to rid their unwanted pounds. At one time, becoming a vegetarian was not common but the wonderful products and recipes make converting very easy.

Unlike the grainy or unidentifiable options from decades ago, people have learned how to use common ingredients like beans, grains, and plants to make satisfying meals. When combined with the right vegetables and fruits, anyone can come up with a recipe that is similar to a meat entree. There are a number of books and online tutorials that show people how to do this in a few simple steps.

Contrary to popular belief, eating meat can be good for anyone if it is lean and not processed, like high sodium deli meat. Additionally, if one chooses to eat meat, it should be without oil based sauces or greasy toppings, like fried onion strings. If one restricts themselves to eat poultry, removing the skin beforehand saves many calories.

Another way to eat healthier is changing mealtime beverages. Switching from soda and juice beverages, which have large amounts of sugar, to water is best. For one, drinking water during a meal helps one to feel full faster so there is less chance of having seconds. Wine, beer, and spirits should be limited to one serving a day. By making these changes, along with moderate exercise, losing weight should be a little easier.

When people of different backgrounds come together in a social environment, it is common to share traditional dishes. From there, a person may choose to replicate the recipe in their kitchen and share it with others. Then again, an exotic seasoning may be used to put a spin on traditional dishes. In some cases, this can make a healthy entree taste fantastic.
