Eating Out and Eating Healthy

Hello Fellow Bloggers,
   So I was a tad puzzled on what to write about this week, but I decided to provide advice on what many of my friends come to me for, healthy eating suggestions.  I am not a huge health freak, but being gluten free and maintaining a healthy diet, I would say I eat pretty well for a 21 year old college student.  I also try to limit myself from eating out as much, which can be struggle because "getting food" is always a go-to plan when groceries are low or bored with friends.  But even when I splurge and eat out with friends, I make sure I chose an item on the menu that provides nutritional value.  That is key.  Always strive to purchase and consume food that will benefit your body and functionality.  Greasy, junk food does not provide anything for your body and it will result in feeling sluggish and most likely a stomach ache. I am a huge, huge, hugggeeee lover of Chipotle and since it's consider as a healthier fast food alternative, I never feel guilty visiting once a week. I am a burrito bowl kind of gal and it is jam packed with simple carbs, healthy fats and high in protein.  In other words sour cream and shredded cheese is not included.  My order is: brown rice, black beans, fajita peppers, chicken, mild and corn salsa, guacamole, and extra lettuce. It's super filling and lip smacking good, even without the unnecessary fattening ingredients.  Being gluten free and a healthier eater, I never miss a beat and make sure my healthy lifestyle does not get in the way from me enjoying my life. So next time you decide to eat out, make sure to scan the menu throughly and pick out the item that will benefit your health and your improved lifestyle. Good luck!
