We’re back with another installment of BGCNF At Home! Today’s activity is all about food! Due to social distancing guidelines, we can’t visit our local restaurant and enjoy our favorite meal. Instead, we have to decide whether we’ll order takeout, delivery or cook at home. One more question you might want to ask yourself is, “how can I make healthier food choices when ordering or cooking food?”
Making Good Better
Yes, we get it. Nothing can replace the taste of your favorite burger, or that extra cheesy slice of pizza from that local chain but think about what simple substitutions or serving size changes can contribute to a healthier meal. Consider ordering a small portion over the supersize, grilled options over deep fried and drinking water over soda.
Get The Fact Straight
Now that you’re on board with making simple changes to your meal, it’s time to do some research and learn more about the meals we eat every day. Visit nutritionix.com to learn more about your favorite meals and the calories they contain. Once there, search for your favorite restaurant and meal, and create a new, healthier option. Don’t forget to write down your findings. Oh, and don’t forget to include your drink!
Stacking The Benefits
Now that you have your data, compare your healthy option to your normal option.
Help Others Eat Healthier
It’s time for a challenge! How would you convince yourself and others to order your new, healthier meal? How would you explain the health benefits? Write a slogan to tell others about your new healthier meal.
