Fun, Food, and Fitness class on Fiber and Protein

*sigh* Cloudy day on campus. Probably a good day to talk about fiber and protein! It was back to New York City for a li’l R&R for me, but lookin’ forward to seeing how a few more days away from the campers would change them. The classroom was hot and sticky, but with lots of water I pumped them up with lots of healthy choices. Today’s lesson was on fiber and protein and how it should make it into your daily healthy lifestyle. For example, most of them knew that chicken is a good sources of protein, but did not know much about beans and legumes (what’s a legume?) or
that there is fiber in corn, but that it is a starch not a protein! Everyone got to challenge their minds and taste buds as I passed around foods for them to try. It’s ok not to like everything, but try it at least once!
