It’s the weekend! Enjoy yourself but be careful not to overindulge with poor eating habits. With a little thought and preparation, you can continue to eat healthy and still enjoy your weekend. Here are some tips:

Plan ahead

Don't load up your kitchen with lots of tempting, high-calorie snacks. Keep fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain crackers and your favorite cheese on-hand for nutritious snacking.

Don't skip breakfast

Start Saturday and Sunday mornings with a healthy breakfast with plenty of protein and fiber. Good choices include eggs, whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk, or whole-wheat toast with peanut butter.

Eat lots of Fruits and Vegetables

They are low in calories, and high in nutrients and fiber. Fiber is key -- it will keep you feeling full.

Eat less at restaurants

Going out for dinner? Most restaurants serve very large portions. Try splitting an appetizer for your meal or splitting and entrée with someone. Like I said portions at restaurants can be much larger than you need so try this technique.

Get some exercise each day

Go for a walk. Not only will you burn calories, the exercise will improve your mood and may distract you from your cravings. You can always join us Saturday mornings for Kickboxing + Boxing class! It’s a great way to start your weekend!
