I think I will apply these helpful eating tips the next time I am grocery shopping or eating at a restaurant. It is so hard to eat healthy food these days when fast food is more convenient and less expensive. Almost every time I go out with my friends I am dragged to the nearest burger joint or ice cream shop. Now that I am more health conscious I have decided to take matters into my own hands. While I cannot stop my friends from making poor eating habits I know that I can fix mine. For example, I never skip breakfast because it is the most important meal that helps you get your day started. I was surprised that by eating fruit and protein each morning, I was less hungry and more focused. In addition, instead of depending on the vending machine to give me a bag of chips or candy, I now plan what snacks I will bring and how much I should eat. I have replaced my usual tea and sugary beverage with water. When I was younger I always thought vegetables were tasteless and gross. Now that I am starting to cook for myself I have found ways to incorporate them into my diet without sacrificing taste. The next time my friends invite me to go eat out I will make sure to plan ahead and look for the healthiest option available.
