Skip The Soda

If you’re watching your weight skipping the soft drinks is the place to start. While regular soda contains lots of sugar and calories, diet soda can be harmful to your waistline as well. “People think diet soda is better but is not,” Avila says. “Numerous studies have shown that the artificial sweetener in diet drinks makes your body hold on to fat. So dropping soda all together is best for weight loss and overall health.”

PB&H: Peanut Butter & Honey Sandwich

Calories: 430

Peanut butter and jelly is a go-to sandwich for most people, and why wouldn’t it be? It’s easy to make, and it tastes great! Make sure to use jelly or preserves made from real fruit and that have a lower sugar content to pack more of a health punch. Or for something different, go for peanut butter and honey. Honey is full of antioxidants, and even has antibacterial properties. When choosing peanut butter, go for trans-fat free varieties such a Skippy Naturals or The Peanut Butter Company. Also skip the white bread and pick up some whole grain instead.

Taco Bell

After getting kind of a bad rap for a menu lacking healthy options, Taco Bell has stepped up their game with their new “cantina” menu with fresher ingredients put together by chef Lorena Garcia. Their new cantina bowl packs a healthy punch with black beans, guacamole, corn, salsa, and cilantro rice. The tasty bowl is available with chicken (560 calories), steak (550 calories), or vegetarian (540 calories).
