A client recently ordered eggplant basil with tofu.
At first glance—great choice:
✔ Plenty of vegetables
✔ Nice variety
✔ Tofu included (and not deep-fried)
But here’s where we gently tightened things:
→ Protein was a bit low (about 10–14 cubes)
→ Sauce likely higher in oil, sugar, and sodium
So instead of overhauling the meal, we adjusted:
Keep the veggies
Add more tofu to anchor the meal
Be mindful of the sauce (or recreate a lighter version at home)
No extremes. No restriction.
Just small, strategic upgrades that actually move the needle.
That’s the CARE Method.
