Making the right food choices just takes a bit if thoughtfulness and organization. Making time to go to the grocery store (with a list of course) is essential for taking control of your dietary needs. Bringing food to work/school is not that difficult if you prep the night before. Why not cook enough for a few meals and then take the leftovers to work? Not only will it save you $$, it will probably save your waistline as well as you will have control over ingredients and portions.

A few tips:

Stash snacks such as yogert/cottage cheese, fruit, string cheese, roasted almonds, turkey jerkey at the office so when you get a food craving, there is no need to run out to the vending machine or pastry shop.

If you have to go out for business lunches/dinners, learn how to order lightly. Ask for dressings/sauces on the side and use sparingly. Drink plenty of water and try to avoid the bread/butter that comes to the table before the meal. Ask for steamed veggies. Go grilled or broiled (dry) why possible. Don't hesitate to ask the waitress for substitutions for side dishes etc. Try to eat slowly and stop when full. Often the portions are enough for 2!
Every little bit or should I say bite counts :)
