Eating On The Go
With Healthy Lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle can be accomplished.

Following are tips and advice how you can stick to your health guns and not give in when eating on the go.

It’s important to make smart food choices and watch portion sizes wherever you are-at the grocery store, at work, in your favorite restaurant, or running errands.

Try the following tips:

Begin a couple of meals each week with an apple or a cup of soup. Either will help curb your appetite especially if you are eating on the go.

The apple, besides being nutritious and only 80 calories, is full of soluble fiber, which keeps the stomach from emptying too quickly. And there is something about the texture and consistency of soup (broth-, not cream-based, low in sodium and not more than 150 calories) that is particularly satisfying to the stomach.

Good Nutrition Choices

• At the store, plan ahead by buying a variety of nutrient-rich foods for meals and snacks throughout the week.
• When grabbing lunch, have a sandwich on whole-grain bread and choose low-fat/fat-free milk, water, or other drinks without added sugars.
• In a restaurant, opt for steamed, grilled, or broiled dishes instead of those that are fried or sauteed.
• On a long commute or shopping trip, pack some fresh fruit, cut-up vegetables, string cheese sticks, or a handful of unsalted nuts-to help you avoid impulsive, less healthful snack choices.

Follow these tips while eating on the go to keep from grabbing the first thing you come to.
