Whole-Food Eating 1 article

Whole-food eating emphasizes foods in relatively recognizable, minimally processed forms, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, plain dairy, and unprocessed protein foods. The practical distinction is processing level and ingredient simplicity, not a rule that every packaged food is excluded. Meal planning often centers on home-prepared combinations and recognizable ingredients, while nutrition coverage still considers protein, fiber, fats, sodium, and overall dietary balance rather than assuming 'whole food' is automatically sufficient in every context.
