Be healthier with Suvie

Suvie has teamed up with weight loss physician expert Dr. Angela Fitch, Associate director of the Mass General Hospital Weight Center, and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Susan Richards to develop a set of healthy certified Suvie Smart Meals. To be certified a meal had to meet a set of nutritional criteria set by our experts that is based on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dietary Guidelines and Healthy Plate program. Reduced calorie meals with less salt and saturated fat were chosen to fit into an overall healthy diet that can support both weight loss (individual dependent) and maintenance.

The meals labeled with the “Balanced Meal Seal” have less than 675 calories per serving, less than 900 milligrams of sodium, and 33-35% of calories coming from fat, except for the salmon based meals. Salmon is naturally high in healthy unsaturated fat and our experts felt the salmon meals should be included as a Balanced Smart Meal option.

The balanced meals focus on eating lean protein and include chicken, fish, pork, and some beef options. And in keeping with the USDA Healthy Plate program, the meals also incorporate whole grains and non- starchy vegetables to provide a complete well balanced and delicious meal.

But the Suvie Balanced Smart Meal is just one meal of the day and so to fully embrace healthy eating try to increase your consumption of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats (olive, sunflower, canola oil) though out your day.
