Healthy Eating At Weekends
Healthy Eating at Weekends
So why is it we struggle to eat healthy at weekends? Is it because we have a night out plan or is it the BBQ season or is it simply the fact because it's the weekend? Whatever the reason is, it should not stop us from choosing that healthier option.
Eating/Drinking Out
Instead of choosing creamy carbonara sauces to go with our pasta at the Italians why not choose an arrabiata sauce for less than half the calories. This way you still get to eat out with friends and family but you are making a choice that will stop those pounds piling on!
And instead of ordering a cider or wine to wash it down with, have vodka with diet coke! You do not have to stick to water; you just have to make the better decision!
BBQ season
Instead of indulging in those high fat burgers and sausages, why not make your own? By making your own you can use extra lean mince and add as much flavour as you need such as garlic and chilli. So not only will they be less than half the fat to your normal burger, they will be much tastier!
Takeaway
When the weekend comes we just want to relax and can't be bothered to be standing in that kitchen again.....so what do we do? Order in a takeaway, it's an easy option! But instead of choosing that high fat curry or pizza, why not choose a chicken chow mien or chicken kebab which will be half the calories but still allows you order in!
So remember you do not have to cut out your restaurants, BBQ's or takeaways, you just need to make the better choice which in turn will make a better you!!!! You don't have to follow the specific foods I have laid out, but try and pick that healthier option, it is easier than you think.
