In the past few days or so, I’ve decided to be a little bit more conscious about my eating habits. I’ve realized that this is actually REALLY HARD. Haha. I eat out a lot and by a lot I mean like 99% of the time. So, while eating out, I should perhaps try to make some better choices about what I’m eating so that it’s a tad “healthier.” I’ve come to the conclusion that eating healthy is really difficult and not fun at all! Haha. I always like to look at the eat this not that on the web. Eating out is basically ridiculously bad for you. More than just bad, very bad! So then, I should really try to eat more at home – eating a cooked meal at home – no matter what it is – is almost always going to be better than eating out – I think. I should also try bringing my lunch to work – it saves money and is healthier – but I like eating out.
On Thursday night, I bought some stuff to make pasta from Trader Joe’s and when looking at the pasta decided I should try to be healthy and buy either wheat or brown rice pasta. I’ve had wheat pasta and its gross so I tried the brown rice (which also turned out gross). But anyway, I had it for lunch the next day and realized that when I bring my lunch – I end up being more hungry! This is probably due to the serving amount is not as huge as when eating out and it’s obviously not as many calories as I’m used to eating. So after 2 hours or so, I’m super hungry! A medium size amount of pasta compared to a loaded chipotle bowl just isn’t the same. :P I do see now how people can eat 6 mini meals a day because I feel like that’s what I need to do to not be hungry. Haha.
Also, cooking for myself is such a pain. Cooking for other people is easy. So, I’m going to try to cook at least 1-2 meals for dinner and maybe bring lunch once or twice a week. Haha.
