Secrets To Making Meals Healthy And Quick

Just a few good tips to eat healthier on the go or when you are in a hurry....

On the run? Healthier fast food or drive-through choices

Skip the meal deals and size upgrades
Calories can really add up when you get the larger size sandwiches, fried foods, and soft drinks.


Check off what you will try to cut the calories when eating out:
❑  Get the regular or child-sized hamburger and load it with lettuce, tomato, and onions.

❑  Cut a larger burger or sandwich in half. Eat half now, and refrigerate half for tomorrow’s lunch.

❑  Get the small size turkey or grilled chicken sub instead of the large one. Load it with veggies—spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers,
and onions.

❑  Drink water, or low-fat or fat-free milk, instead of whole milk, fruit drinks, or a soft drink.

Hearty, healthy lunches in a snap

❑  Sandwich lover? Choose lean protein fillings, such as grilled chicken or tuna. Make nonmeat sandwiches with peanut butter, low-fat cheese, sliced hard-boiled eggs, or fat-free refried beans.

❑  Load your sandwich with veggies. Along with the standard greens a tomatoes . . . try sliced cucumbers, green peppers, or zucchini strips for added crunch.

❑  Pick whole grains! Try whole-grain or 100% whole-wheat breads, tortilla wraps, English muffins, and pita pockets instead of white brea or buns.

❑  Green salads, anyone? Add lean meats along with fruits, beans, and nuts to your green salads. Try dried cranberries, cut-up fruit,
kidney beans, walnuts, and almonds. 

Until next time keep reaching for that healthy, happy life you deserve.
