Plan for How You Eat

Snooze your alarm or get up and work out? Wear a dress or jeans? Sit in traffic or go the long way? We do a lot of mental gymnastics every day. So when it's time to eat, do you ever just feel. .. done?

It can be challenging to make nutritious food choices in the moment, at any moment, let alone when you're tired, stressed, swimming in food options, or all of the above. The path of least resistance is well traveled-and may be higher in Points®.

But here's a secret: With a little planning, you can pave that path in a way that actually leads you to your goals instead of off course. This month, we're sharing ways to make those right-for-you food choices also easier-for-you ones. By planning ahead for how you eat-i.e., in real life, when you're out of steam, hungry, faced with specific food moments or options-you'll be better prepared and more likely to stay on track, no matter what else competes for your attention.

Check back over the next four weeks for this month's weekly techniques.
