HOW TO EAT ON THE GO AND LOSE WEIGHT

In todays world, fewer and fewer people have the time to prepare and cook 3-5 meals per day. Instead, most people opt for eating out. Unfortunately, this has contributed to their ever increasing waistline. Eating out for most people usually means eating poorer quality food and more calories. So, how do we eat out and stay or get in shape? Be smart, buy from the right place and research the meals content. This is far more practical than following the next celebrity weight loss routine that you can stick to for a whole 48 hours!

This is just an example. Adjust portion sizes depending on your sex, goal, activity level and requirements. Obviously, you may not need to buy every meal out. For example, you may eat breakfast and dinner indoors and buy your lunch and a mid afternoon meal out. I hope this gives you some idea on the kind of food you should be purchasing if you want to shrink that waistline. 🙂
