More and more people are interested in a healthy diet that tastes good. Therefore, this recipe selection is ideal for all those who want to eat delicious and balanced. So only recipes are reviewed, which has received a good rating from the Chefkoch.de-users. "Fun and enjoyment are combined with a healthy diet," explains Ursula Horzetzky of INFORM. "We want to prove this with delicious, appetizing recipes that are tested independently and on a scientific basis".

"We want to motivate balanced eating. For this purpose, we show with the tested recipes how easily a full-fledged diet can be implemented with pleasure, "adds Dr Isabelle Wendt from the DGE. For INFORM, the DGE tests recipes that have received at least 4 stars from users. In addition to taste, the DGE looks for ingredients, preparation and nutrient profile. The recipes with the category " IN FORM Recommendation " are therefore not only popular but also contribute to a healthy diet.

How do I know if a court is healthy?

But what does it mean to eat "healthy"? How do the experts see it? "We would not describe a single food or a single recipe as" healthy "or" unhealthy. "In the context of a balanced diet, we refer to recommended foods or recipes," says Wendt.

The diversity of food is the main focus of a balanced diet: vegetables and fruits of different colours, raw or cooked, sometimes vegetarian, sometimes with meat and fish, and also noodles, rice and co. Due to the variety, it is possible to supply all nutrients in sufficient quantities. Therefore, the DGE examined the courts as a whole:

	Do the recipes taste? Are the recipes good for the users? What is the rating (stars)?
	What ingredients were used? For example, is there vegetables and/or fruit? Is a full grain product used?
	How is the dish prepared? Is the description of the preparation easy to understand? Which cooking method is used? - Steaming and steaming is better than frying and breading.
	What is the nutrient content? What is the proportion of carbohydrates, fat and protein? How many dietary fibres does the dish contain? How much sugar is added to the court?

How can a balanced food plan look like?

In order to eat balanced, Dr Dr. "It is ideal to eat a portion of vegetables or fruit at every meal, with an accompaniment salad or an apple for dessert." It is also possible to use the whole grain varieties of bread, pasta and other cereal products, which makes it easy to increase the supply of dietary fibre and secondary metabolites.

How the recommendations of a balanced diet can be easily and deliciously implemented in individual courts, the experts in the recipe show on the next pages. First, they have rated the main meals. For these, it is the most difficult for many to find a balanced court. With "Tested IN FORM-Recipes" we make it easier for you to search.

In addition to the main meal times, intermediate meals also make an important contribution to a balanced diet. Vegetables and fruit or a handful of nuts are a good snack for between. Low-fat dairy products and whole grain bread are also available. These are long-lasting and provide us with important nutrients. Sweets, pastries or fast foods should be the exception. You can also find tasty and fast recipes in the INFORM recipe ranges.

Breakfast is also a problem for many people. Some even leave the breakfast completely. But the first meal of the day is important to replenish its reserves and fit into the day. That is why the experts recommend to anyone who is not hungry in the morning to take a suitable meal with them. On the fourth page, you will find delicious breakfast recipes.

After a stressful day, you want to relax the evening and end with a delicious meal. Not everyone has the desire to cook something. It just has to go fast. For this, the experts have selected a selection of delicious and fast-paced recipes for you.
