Thanks for the tips. I was calorie counting for awhile and it did help me watch what I ate and helped me to eat healthier. I wouldn’t say it is easy though because I got burned out on it. However, it is one of the more effective and healthy ways to lose weight. In addition to exercise

I was going to say that while I know many fruits and veggies don’t “have” to be refrigerated and many that won’t spoil in the amount of time we’re out of the house, but I hate them warm. Then I remembered…except for apples, oranges, bananas and kiwis – so I guess those are a few foods that I’ll have to remember to grab on the way out the door just in case I can’t get home in time to eat.

I agree with your veggies tip! It is easy to throw some baby carrots into a ziplock bag and take them with you when you head out the door. They don’t need to be refrigerated so you don’t have to worry about spoilage, they satisfy your need to crunch, and they are sweet!

Great tips!

Hubby and I were just talking the other day and we couldn’t believe how long it had been since we had last eaten out. I have been making his lunches and we have fun putting together healthy dinners plus the money we are saving is crazy LOL

As for getting enough veggies, I don’t but we are trying harder every day to add something new to our meals. I would’ve never guessed that I would like eggplant and yellow squash so much.

Great tips! I have to plan before I go to the store. I am just as prone to grab the wrong things there as I am at home if I don’t plan a healthier eating mindset.

Just wanted to put my two cents on taking the time to plan your meals. I plan my menus monthly and do grocery shopping each week. I find if I’m organized we tend to eat better and I include more vegetable side dishes.

Always good to have a refresher! Between a family with 2 kids (the oldest is always on the go for sports, scouts etc) and juggling 2 busy businesses – Tupperware and Avon – any tips come in handy. A little bit of planning and prep work can save a lot of time and money – fast food “value” meals can hurt your health and pocketbook.

Often I will cook in bulk and then put into portion sized microwave containers for my husband to take to work. When chopping veggies or fruit I will do up lots of extra to put into a divided dish so can simply grab the dish from the fridge for next meal or quick snack. More seem to always get eaten when they are always “ready”.
