How to Eat Smarter??

Some people have problems how to not only eat smart, but also right. Here are several ways one can follow to achieve better life and better meals.

Do not skip breakfast.
People are 75% more likely to overeat the rest of the day if they skip breakfast. Now, if you have a hard time wanting food in the morning, make a nutritional smoothie: Throw in some frozen fruit, greens, protein powder, a little almond butter for satisfying fat and your liquid of choice. Oatmeal is an easy one in the morning. But remember that sugary cereal and bagels are not breakfast. Boil eggs and eat with a slice of toast or some avocado. Get your day started right.

Bored at work or home? Find a distraction other than food.
If you're at work and have a break, go for a walk or bring a healthy snack to eat. If you're doing "the kitchen roam" and find yourself with the fridge open, call a friend or give yourself an indulgent 10 minutes online. Get yourself busy doing something else like reading magazines or do your laundry.

Eat only when you are hungry.
Don't just mindlessly shove food in your face because it's something to do. If you can not stop eating when you are bored, then try substituting it with a new habit.

Avoid fast food and vending machines.
This never ends pretty. Most of the food is fattening, tastes really good, and doesn't have much nutritional integrity. If you are on the road and have no other options, then try to pick the best of the bad. Don't super size your order and avoid fried anything, sodas the size of 5 gallon buckets with a free refiill, and bread. In general, reach for chicken, salads, and, if you can, drink water.

If you are stressed out or having a personal crisis reach for the phone, not food.

Call a good friend or ask someone to go on a walk in a peaceful place so that you can vent. Don't sit at home, alone, crying into a bowl of ice cream.

Find other things social to do that don't always involve food. Create a strategy for where you meet and eat. If you can combine it with some exercise and a healthy meal after, even better! This will provide a positive example for everyone.

Write it down. Keep a food journal.

You will be able to pin point exactly what foods and beverages are getting you where. Therefore you’ll eat smarter and manage to balance your daily diet.
