Well, most of us have been home from college for about one month, congrats! I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say it can be hard to eat healthy, even when you have someone else cooking for you. At least for me, even if my mom is making a delish and healthy dinner at 7 p.m., I will most likely be hungry at 6:59 p.m. and feel the need to eat 60 chocolate covered almonds (just doing some PR for Trader Joe's) and then I'm not even hungry for dinner! Here are a few tips from me, a non-educated person on health or nutrition, about how to eat healthy this summer!
1.Your classic chocolate craving
You really want some Oreos. It's SO easy — instead of having your regular 16 Oreos, just have 8! You just saved yourself 8 Oreos and you still got to satisfy your craving — Look! At! You! Are you one to count calories? Then count them, keep that brain flowing over the summer. *You're amazing*
2. Oh my god, Chipotle is my life
When you go to Chipotle, just simply get your sour cream and cheese on the SIDE. DUH. This way you convince the cashier that you are moving towards a much healthier lifestyle so they look at you like, wow. But whilst beginning to eat your burrito be sure to pour all of your cheese and sour cream onto it- but definitely don't feel bad- you got it on the side, remember?!
3. Bloomin' onion szn
It's that time again, your dad wants to go to Chili's again (dear god WHY) (oh duh the lava cake). You decide you want a burger because it's all you trust. Instead of getting a big greasy burger with bacon ranch onion rings with a bun, just get it withOUT the bun. So much healthier you're basically eating kale. Since you're not getting your burger with a bun feel free to indulge in the cheesy bread already on the table because 1. it's already paid for and 2. you didn't get the damn bun so treat yo'self!
4. Juices and mimeuces
"Wanna go to that new juice place in town?" your friend asks. You reply with sure but what you mean is "they're all literally the exact same thing TF does it matter Becky." Luckily, this gives you the perfect excuse to eat healthy. Go up to the cashier and order one of the healthiest selections, an acai bowl is a great amateur move. Do you know what's in it? Me the fuck either! You know what? Throw in a weedgrass shot while you are at it because you are becoming a newer, healthier person. After you eat your health mush and feel rejuvenated you will probably feel hungry 20 minutes later (30 if you eat one of those balls of like granola with peanut butter, flax? and 'agave'???). Go get some damn pizza because your body is crying about not having carbs in over an hour and feel GOOD about it, because you put all those nutrients in in the earlier part of the day!
All in all, eat delicious food there's just too much opportunity for it out there.
