Eat smart by making the right choices for our health 

I have some tips here that you would find very interesting and useful too:

24/7 snacking	not to eat after your evening meal
skipping on your breakfast	opt it the largest meal of the day
relying on packaged and processed snack foods	meals and snacks that contain a variety of nutrient-dense and healthy foods
processed foods which high in fat, sugar, salt and calories such as chips, energy bars, cookies and candy	nutrient-dense foods such as fruit, vegetables and whole grains

TAKE HOME MESSAGE

Never eat just because your family members, friends or colleagues are eating.

Limit your meals and snacks to a 10-12 hour during the day and never eat later in the evening. For example, eat only between 6 am and 6 pm, or between 7 am and 5 pm.

Eat a larger portion of calories earlier in the day, making breakfast, lunch and daytime snacks higher in calories than dinner and evening snacks.
