RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Eating healthier just means making smarter choices. Which means if you have to have a treat, make it a SMALL portion. You can eat healthy anywhere! Even places like McDonalds. All you have to do is cut out the unnecessary extras like the bread/cheese/cream/oil/dressing that really add up the calories/fat/sodium/sugar.

Some smarter choice examples:

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich (600cal) by throwing out the bun & ordering it without mayo, you bring it down to approx 250cal.

When eating Italian, skip all cream based dishes and stick with marinara and no extra cheese on your pasta.

Always have your entree grilled instead of breaded & fried.

Sub out all fried side dishes like fries for fresh fruit or veggies.

Sub out soda for water.

Just by making these simple smarter choices you'll start to see a difference in how you look & feel. Especially, if combined with regular exercise.
