Nutrition Tips & Eating Well

At Domain Burrito Café, we believe that enjoying good food is one of life's greatest pleasures. We also believe that balanced eating can support overall wellness. Here are some general tips for enjoying a balanced approach to food:

Balanced Meals

• Include a variety of colors: Eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables helps ensure you're getting a wide range of nutrients. Our Toronto Veggie burrito is packed with colorful vegetables for this reason.
• Balance macronutrients: Including proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats in your meals helps provide sustained energy and satisfaction. Our burritos are designed with this balance in mind.
• Mind portion sizes: Even nutritious foods can contribute to excess when portions are too large. Listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues.
• Stay hydrated: Water is essential for nearly every bodily function. Consider starting meals with a glass of water.
• Include fiber: Foods rich in fiber like beans, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help you feel satisfied and support digestive health. Our black beans and wild rice are excellent sources of fiber.

Mindful Eating Practices

• Slow down: Taking time to enjoy your meal can enhance satisfaction and help you recognize when you're full.
• Minimize distractions: When possible, step away from screens while eating to fully focus on and enjoy your food.
• Appreciate your food: Consider the ingredients, preparation, and flavors of what you're eating.
• Honor preferences: Choose foods you genuinely enjoy while considering their nutritional value.
• Practice moderation: All foods can fit into a balanced approach—it's about patterns over time, not individual meals.

Supporting Local Food Systems

• Choose seasonal produce: Foods in season often taste better, may cost less, and typically have a lower environmental impact.
• Support local producers: Buying locally grown or produced foods supports your community's economy and often results in fresher ingredients.
• Reduce food waste: Plan meals, store foods properly, and find creative ways to use leftovers.

Please note: These are general suggestions for most people. Individual nutrition needs vary based on factors like health status, activity level, age, and personal goals. These tips are not intended as medical or nutritional advice.
