1. Get packing! Pack a snack pack of veggies or fruits to throw in your purse or briefcase to eat throughout the day instead of hitting up the vending machine later in the day. That could mean up to 2 servings right there.
2. Drink your veggies. V8! That's it! So many different options to choose from. If you're old school you can try the original and get 2 servings (bloody mary's don't count) or you can try the new V8 Fusions which count as 1 for every 8 oz glass.
3. Spice up your breakfast by adding veggies to your scrambled eggs- bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and then top with salsa, nummers!
4. Keep healthy choices handy. As soon as you get home, wash your fruits and vegetable and put them in easy reach. Either right on the counter or in clear containers at eye level in the fridge.
5. Try something new! Our tastebuds change every 7 years, just because you didn't like them when you were a kid doesn't mean you won't like brussel sprouts and asparagus now. Try cooking them differently, instead of steaming, try grilling different veggies.
and da da da
6. Switch up your snacks. If you sit in front of the tv at night with a bag of greasy chips, STOP RIGHT NOW. PUT DOWN THE BAG, STEP AWAY. Go to the kitchen, find a healthy apple slice it up and spoon up 2 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter.
An additional tip: make it a goal to never eat anything straight from a bag or box. Measure out the recommended serving and place it in a serving dish, bowl, cup, whatever. This will help you stay on track. Oh, and don't forget to write down these calories in your food journal.
