RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

To help us eat healthier, the word HOMEMADE must be in our daily vocab. Eating out is going to pack on the body fat because the foods are loaded with calories/unhealthy saturated fat/sodium & cooked in bad oils. Cooking at home, we can prepare the food in healthy oils like olive oil, keep down the sodium, and know exactly what we're putting in our body with a wider variety of healthy options.

For example, instead of ordering a pizza & wings for the game = well over 1000calories, cut up some fresh fruit like apples, oranges, and bananas. Put in them in a tupperware container with some fresh lemon juice. Shake the container and serve. Another great game time snack to go with that, is some hummus and raw veggies like baby carrots, cauliflower, broccoli to dip in the hummus.
