Tips & Tricks for healthy eating

I thought I would mention a few things to encourage healthy eating.

Always choose whole grains whenever possible like whole wheat bread and pasta over white.
Eat vegetables in abundance and consume a variety of colors.
Fruit makes a great dessert and portable snack.
Satisfy your hunger by including a protein at each  meal. Choose lean meats. Grass fed beef is a great source of omega-3's. Hummus is also a great way to enjoy protein rich legumes.
Choose plant-based fats like olive oil, avocados, and flaxseed.
Sip water all day long to get in at least 60 oz/day. You can add lemon, lime or cucumber slices for flavor.
