Fast food tip: Watch what you drink
You can eat healthy away from home, even at fast-food restaurants. Be smart about what you get to drink. Many beverages are high in calories. A large (32-ounce) soda can have close to 400 calories. A large shake can have more than 650 calories. Choose water or unsweetened iced tea instead.
Try these quick, fun breakfast options
Don't skip breakfast, even if it's become a bore. Change it up with these healthy breakfast options: 1. A whole-wheat pita stuffed with hard-boiled eggs. 2. Leftover vegetable pizza. 3. A tortilla filled with vegetables, salsa and low-fat shredded cheese. 4. A smoothie blended from fruits, some low-fat yogurt and a spoonful of wheat germ. 5. Whole-wheat crackers with low-fat cheese or peanut butter.
Keep your breakfast cereal healthy
Dry cereal can be a good option for breakfast, at home or on the go. If you make healthy choices, that is. Three key features to consider are fiber, calories and sugar. Choose cereal that has at least 3 grams of fiber a serving, but aim for 5 or more. Aim for cereal with less than 160 calories a serving if you're dieting. And because many cereals, even those for adults, can be high in added sugar, avoid those that list sugar among the first few ingredients.
Think outside the cereal box
Bored with breakfast? Ditch the sugary cereal. Go for something savory. Try a whole-wheat sandwich with lean meat and low-fat cheese or a whole-wheat pita stuffed with vegetables. With a little creativity, breakfast can be healthy, convenient and fun, especially if you think outside the box.
