Elmien Jacobs MyMealplan Dietitians

Dietitian, Elmien Meyer, obtained her Baccalaureus Degree in Dietetics at the University of Pretoria.

As qualified, registered healthcare professionals, dietitians work in many different fields to assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems using evidence-based recommendations. Elmien will answer all your questions regarding healthy eating, weight management, sports nutrition and diet related illnesses such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cholesterol, heart disease, kidney disease and more. The idea of the electronic consultation is to help you obtain all the information that you can obtain in a personal session with a dietician. Usually a first session entails an assessment of your weight, height, history and diagnosis. According to this, the dietician will educate you by means of specific informative handouts and will then calculate a personalised meal plan for weight management. This is exactly what is included in the package that you will receive on MyMealplan.

🍓 Nutrition Tip of the Day: Limit Added Sugars 🍓

Too much added sugar can contribute to weight gain, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more. Added sugars are those added to foods during processing or preparation — like cane sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, maple syrup, honey, and flavored syrups. Even foods like cereal and yogurt can hide them!

💡 Tips to cut added sugar:

Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Add berries, lemon, lime, or cucumber for flavor.

Sweeten naturally with fruit in cereal or yogurt.

Don’t stock up on sugary snacks; keep fruit and veggie slices handy.

At coffee shops, skip flavored syrups & whipped cream; choose unsweetened milk or black coffee.

Read labels carefully — opt for foods with little or no added sugar.

Small changes = big impact for your health! 🌿

👶 Toddlers & Preschoolers: Growing Healthy, One Bite at a Time! 🌿

Toddlers and preschoolers grow in spurts, and so do their appetites! Some days they eat a lot, some days hardly anything — and that’s completely normal. As long as you offer a variety of healthy foods, they’ll get the nutrients they need.

🦴 Calcium:
Essential for strong bones and teeth. Milk is a top source, but alternatives exist for those who are lactose-intolerant, allergic, or picky:

Lactose-free milk or soy milk

Tofu, sardines

Calcium-fortified orange juice, cereals, waffles, oatmeal
In some cases, a pediatrician may recommend supplements.

🥦 Fiber:
Encourage fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans — even if kids prefer “bland” foods like chicken nuggets or fries. Fiber:

Supports digestion

Prevents constipation

Contributes to long-term heart health

💚 Set your child up for a healthy future by building strong nutrition habits now!

🥪 5 Tips for Packing Healthy Lunch Boxes 🥗

A lunch box full of fresh, balanced food gives your child energy to learn, play, and focus all day. Here are five simple tips to make packing healthy school lunches easy and enjoyable:

1️⃣ Nutrition:
Lunch needs to fuel your child for the rest of the day. Include a balance of protein, healthy fats, whole grains, and fruit/vegetables.

2️⃣ Taste:
Healthy doesn’t have to be boring! Add in-season fruit, roasted veggies, cooked meats with herbs, or flavored yogurt/milk to make lunch irresistible.

3️⃣ Convenience:
Keep it simple — pre-packaged yogurt, applesauce, hummus, or string cheese are perfect for short lunch breaks.

4️⃣ Food Safety:
Keep cold items in the fridge until just before school to ensure lunch stays fresh and safe.

5️⃣ Food Quality:
Pack thoughtfully so meals last until lunchtime. Separate sandwich components or delicate items, letting children assemble at school.

Packed with care = happy, energized kids! 🌟

Serves 2

1 (400g) tin chickpeas, drained
120g lean biltong
Lettuce, torn
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Cucumber, sliced
30ml balsamic vinegar
15ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Wash the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber in clean water before preparing it for the salad.
Mix the chickpeas, biltong, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber in a salad bowl.
Mix the balsamic vinegar and oil and serve as a dressing with the salad.

Tip
Create a “salad jar” that can be taken to work for lunch. Invest in a good quality glass jar with a lid. Layer ingredients as follows: dressing, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and biltong. Simply turn out ingredients onto a plate at lunch time and enjoy a fresh salad that is not soggy.

1 serving =
1 carbohydrate, 2 – 3 proteins & 1 fat
