4. Lots of Color

Though it is not a foolproof metric, an easy way to tell if you are getting enough nutrients from your dishes is to just look at the color.

When everything on your plate is brown, chances are you are lacking in some key vitamins and minerals. Add some purple with kale or eggplant. Toss in some other leafy greens for some, you guessed it, green. Squashes and peppers are very vitamin-rich orange options. Many white foods are packed with goodness, too, so try some garlic, onions, or fennel.
