Control Food Decisions

Pre-Decide Your Food

The average person makes about 200 food decisions a day. Thinking about food constantly and deciding what we want to eat makes us hungry. Plan your daily meals, drinks and snacks ahead of time. If you spend less time thinking about food, you will make fewer bad decisions.

Make a point to make all your food decisions in advance. Don't let yourself wander through the cafeteria, pantry or menu asking, "What sounds good?" For one week, make all the decisions at least a day ahead and stick to them.
