Remember when you took those notes about your eating patterns earlier this month? Use what you’ve written to explore what’s working - and change what isn’t.

1. Choose a strategy to boost your fiber intake. Or make up your own! Ideas: -Reinvent PB&J by trading out the jelly for mashed berries or a banana. -Move over, mayo. Spread avocado or hummus on sandwiches and wraps. -Craving a crunch? Grab popcorn instead of pretzels. -Mix diced mushrooms into burgers (or make a patty from black beans and oats). -Put the peeler down. Keep the skin on potatoes and apples. 2. Create a plan to use the strategy you picked. When, where, and how will you do it? 3. Reflect on it. What worked well that you can stick with? What didn’t you love? (It’s OK to try another method if the first was a bust.)

Let’s dive a little deeper...

As you poke around your notes, you can get insight on what and how you eat, what works for you, and what falls flat.

Remember that healthy eating looks different for everyone. Taking what you learned and trying new strategies can ensure your plan is truly livable for you.
