The easiest way to eat healthy at work (and save money) is to pack your own lunch, but here are a few other tips!
1. Stop deciding what to eat at the last minute. We consume fewer calories if we order lunch an hour ahead of time, partly because we don’t make healthy choices when we’re starving.
2. Don’t schedule meetings or anything else that’s stressful right before lunch. We tend to make unhealthy choices right after a stressful event.
3. Don’t always eat with other people. The portions at most restaurants are way too big. And we tend to eat more if someone we’re with is stuffing their face too. You don’t have to be anti-social about it, but it’s okay to eat by yourself sometimes.
4. Don’t eat out of the container your food comes in. You’re much more likely to eat ALL of it if it’s in the container, so put it on a plate first. (Photo: Babble)
