Thursday Tip

Here's the Skinny

This weeks tip for saving money is to serve smaller portions. Many times we eat with our eyes. How often did you hear while growing up, "Eat everything on your plate." Young kids are good examples of how we should eat. When a child eats they eat until they are full it does not matter if the plate has been cleared.

One simple way of making this happen it to serve the family on smaller plates. In our home we all now eat on the kids plates. Each plate looks full yet it is less food than it might have been on if it were on a regular plate.

Plus it may be good for our waistline!

Don't forget to load up on the veggies. They are low fat and good for you. Make sure that most of the plate is filled with vegetables and a small amount of Carbs or Protein. We eat to fuel our bodies. Let's make the fuel the best we can!
