Eating healthy is not only about making good content choices, but also about portion size. That has been key to our success. When I make a dish, I immediately portion it out in storage containers; otherwise, I would eat until I was stuffed and then put away the leftovers. I also do this with fruit and vegetables. When I get home from the grocery, I wash and prep the f & v and then put them into 1 cup size storage containers in the fridge. This makes it very convenient to grab & go. Another plus is that we don't waste produce anymore. I don't know why, but I know this happens to everyone. You bring home produce from the grocery with the best intentions, but when you go to the fridge for something to eat and the grapes are sitting in the drawer still on the vine and not washed, you grab something else that is more convenient and leave the grapes to rot. I find that if I just go ahead and wash and prep everything immediately, I am more likely to eat something healthy when I'm feeling the munchies.
