Food for Thought : 4th July

The Fourth of July is typically a day we spend with family, friends and lots of food. Typical cookout meals can have more than 1,000 calories and 30 grams of fat, depending on the food. You can still celebrate without forgoing your healthy eating and nutrition goals. Here are some tips:
1 .  Don’t try to "save" your calories for the big event, which can lead to overeating and less likely healthy choices.

2 .  Use portion control. If you want to try everything on the menu, make sure you get an extra small portion.

3 .  Grilled vegetables help us feel full without a lot of calories. Eat fresh fruit for dessert.

3 .  Choose lean proteins.

4 .  Use whole-wheat buns for burgers, reduce the amount of mayonnaise you use in potato salad, and add herbs and spices to flavor foods instead of salt.
Words of Wisdom :
"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."

If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.

If you go to bed at night and think about your day and you haven't laughed very much, then you must jump out of bed and go do something fun.

I must be getting absent-minded. Whenever I complain that things aren't what they used to be, I always forget to include myself.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

 
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. (Your friends love you, anyway!)
