Plan Ahead and Pack a Snack to avoid bad choices

Bad food choices happen more often when you are not prepared. Do you travel a lot? Carry a piece of fruit or an energy bar to avoid stopping for a candy bar. Do you order out a lot? Restaurant food tends to have more calories than what we make at home so plan your meals and shop for them so you can have the ingredients to have dinner at home.

Understand processed food

Some processed foods have NO nutritional value. Don’t waste your calories on them. Enjoy more natural products (bread made with whole grain as the first ingredient for example). Make better choices when eating out (salad with salmon or chicken instead of a burger). Eat less fast food and change the fast food that you do eat (think grilled instead of fried and skip the fries!)
