“Sure, there are a few swaps of ingredients that you can throw in with a certain understanding of label reading and nutrition, but it really comes down to your portions,” Savina wrote on Instagram.
“There is no single approach to health and nutrition. The right portion for you will depend on a number of different factors (age, gender, physical activity, medical conditions, etc.).
“The image highlights the importance of portion control for daily meals, especially if you are more sedentary or living with a chronic condition.”
