WEEKEND CHALLENGE- Think about what you eat!


Ready for the WEEKEND Challenge?

Each weekend we have a different challenge! This weekend's challenge is to think about what you eat before you eat it. If you think about it first, you might think twice about eating it. It is easy to rush around throughout the day without thinking about what you are eating.

So this weekend, take a second to think about your food choices. Is it healthy or not? Is my portion too big or too small?

It is important to eat five small meals throughout the day to help you have more energy and lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.

Here are a few ideas of what to eat more of and what to eat less of.

Eat more:

-Nuts (a small handful of almonds or walnuts)
-Fruits
-Dark green vegetables
-Fish
-Lean ground turkey
-Brown rice
-Wheat bread
-Berries
-Oatmeal

Eat less or avoid:

-White bread
-Doughnuts
-Cookies
-Cakes
-Cream sauces
-Ice cream
-Fast food
-Fried foods (french fries)

Let us know how it goes! Have a great weekend!!

  1. I'm excited to take the challenge. I would also like to add Quinoa (spelling?) to the list of foods to eat more of. It's a great grain, and I personally think it tastes better than brown rice, but that's just me.
