Don't skip meals - plan for meals and snacks . Believe it or not - 3 meals and 2 snacks are best to maintain both energy levels and healthy weight. Don't leave yourself stranded - take foods with you or know where you can go to buy something healthy and satisfying. Learn about simple, healthy ways to prepare foods . Think about baking, boiling, grilling, stir-frying, or microwaving as healthy ways to cook foods instead of deep frying your foods.
Sugary drinks are a big source of empty energy.
Don't go overboard - 2 small glasses a day of regular soda or juice is fine. Lots of sugar is also found in desserts like cakes, cookies and candies. Make a place for these foods once in a while, but don't give up nutrition-rich foods to do it. Pay attention to your eating and your body . Slow down when you eat.
