“Healthy” Fast Food
While I don’t indulge in “hard core” fast food (e.g. a burger from McDonald’s), I will occasionally eat a burrito from Chipotle or a small “Frosty” from Wendy’s.

Get Snackin’
As you guys know, I’m a snacker! I just LOVE ‘em! Snacks are a great way to pack in extra nutrition and curb hunger so you don’t overeat at the next meal.
