In Restaurants, Look For Proteins

When eating out, focus on nutrients. Choose a roasted veggie omelette or whole-grain salad sandwich over pancakes or fries

A Stocked Pantry Always Helps

Frozen veggies, quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, dried fruit, and nuts always help when you want a quick healthy meal

Instant Rice Can Make Things Easier

It takes one to five minutes to cook. Once you have a staple like this sorted, it's easy to whip up some veggies and sauce or some grilled chicken
