I'm late, but I really wanted to join this link-up about healthy eating ideas. Of course, if you wait long enough, you end up being on time after all. (I meant to do this post a week ago.)
Last week, I saw a link-up with http://dontlettheteacher.blogspot.com/
about healthy eating so I thought I'd share some tips I've learned from Weight Watchers:
1. Know/plan what you're having for lunch. This way you can make sure to prepare something healthy.
2. Get a good night's sleep - this way you can make good food choices during the day.
3. Be careful of eating in restaurants. A lot of the food is very high in calories and fat.
4. Oatmeal is a great breakfast choice!
5. Instead of "real" hamburgers, try out:
*Weight Watchers Chicken patties
*Butterball turkey burgers
Both of these choices are surprisingly good and much lower in fat and calories.
Here's a tip from my doctor:
6. Get your calcium from food rather than supplements. Research has shown that supplements can cause calcium build-up in your body, and this build-up can lead to health problems.
Here's something I learned at Dunkin Donuts this morning:
7. There is only one kind of brewed coffee. All of those delicious flavored coffees are made with flavored syrups which means extra calories and sugar.
My goal for this week:
8. Don't use food as a reward. I do this all the time. For example, last week was Back to School night, and I gave blood - that meant I could have pizza for dinner and then leftover pizza for lunch the next day. Of course, some times, you just need a treat.
What treat would you prefer: pizza or a cupcake or both?

Thank you SO much for linking up! I'm so bad about using food as a reward or comfort, and restaurants can be the absolute worst! It scares me when I enter those calories into MyFitnessPal at the end of a meal. They are ridiculously high!
