Here are some strategies for making sure that what you eat is good for your body and your budget:
Know the difference between emotional eating and your body’s hunger signals.
Avoid buying items that are very low-fat, sugar-free or claim to be buzz words like “all natural” since such labels can be misleading.
Use smaller plates — they’ll feel more manageable.
Keep whole-grain breads, cereals, pastas, rice and oatmeal on hand for meal planning. These foods provide lots of fiber, which can help fill you up without a lot of calories.
Breakfast is an important meal to include in your healthy eating plan since it can boost your metabolism and energy level throughout the day.
