Some of the ways you've been eating at home are healthier than your pre-coronavirus habits. Here, Dr. Joan Salge Blake offers nutrition advice after quarantine.
. Restaurant meals, with their inflated portions, tempt you into ordering and consuming more calories, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.If you were making dinner reservations four times a week, consider cutting that in half post-quarantine. Your neighbors may be following suit, as afrom the Food Industry Association found that more than 35% of adults surveyed plan to make cooking more at home their new normal.
Cut back on your reliance on take-out by cooking once and eating twice. That is, make double portions of a meal over the weekend so that you automatically have leftovers for another meal during the week.During this pandemic, there has been a short-term reduction in the processing of meat and poultry due to the closures of processing plants to curtail the spread of the virus among employees. This caused aand poultry at the supermarket and the price per pound to rise.
Fill extra the space on your plate with Mother Nature’s finest, low-calorie vegetables. Veggies are filled with fiber and water, so they will fill you up for fewer calories. Look for the weekly produce sales at your local supermarket to get the most vegetables for your budget. It doesn’t matter if your veggie choices are fresh, frozen, or canned. All are heart-healthy and waist-friendly.
