C&J Nutrition We tend to eat more of foods when there is a wider variety of that particular food -- so stock up on an assortment of the foods you want to get more of (veggies, fruit, beans, etc.) and keep only one option around for foods that you have trouble limiting (chips, crackers, etc.) or want to eat less of (treats).
Here are some savory options for fast breakfasts that are car-friendly......
Brandy I often am running out the door in the mornings and don't have time to make breakfast. Do you have any suggestions for a quick breakfast I can eat in the car and isn't sweet (I am tired of power bars). Thanks!

Want a crunchy snack that delivers protein, fiber, and satisfies either a salty or sweet craving? Baked chickpeas! Rinse & drain a can of chickpeas.Toss w cooking spray and sprinkle w chili powder & cumin OR cinnamon & brown sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, then mix in a 1/4 cup nuts (hazelnuts, pistachios, e...tc.) & bake for 10-15 more minutes until browned & crunchy! 1/2 cup runs around 150 calories.Read More
C&J Nutrition Many cereals have loads of added sugar, which can add up to unwanted (and empty) calories. Choose cereal w less than 5 grams of sugar per 100 calories. You'll need to do some math, since serving sizes (and calories) vary from brand to brand. A few that make the cut: Shredded wheat, Cheerios, Wheat Chex, Kashi Heart to Heart original, Barbara’s Shredded Spoonfuls multigrain, & Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes

Reduced fat (2%) milk is not the same as low-fat (1%) milk -- in fact, 2% only has 25 fewer calories,3.2g of fat less per glass than whole milk! 8 oz. of whole milk has 146 calories, 7.9g of fat (4.6g saturated); 2% has 121 calories, 4.7g fat (3.1g sat). Switch to 1% or skim and you'll save LOTS of calories and fat. 8... oz. 1% milk: 102 calories, 2.6g fat (1.5g sat); nonfat skim milk: 83 calories, 0g fat (0g sat).Read More

We were surprised to find some of our fave Halloween candy (boo Tootsie Rolls!) has trans fat! Be a savvy label reader & limit candy w "partially hydrogenated oil" in the ingredients -- even if the nutrition facts panel says "0g trans fat". A few w trans fat: Tootsie Rolls, Whoppers, Sugar Daddy, Milk Duds, Snickers. A... few without: Smarties, Hershey's Kisses, Hot Tamales... & remember, moderation! Happy Halloween :)Read More

If you can't live without cream in your coffee and whole or 2% milk on your cereal, invest in a box of nonfat dry milk (invest might be a bit strong...it'll run you about 3 or 4 bucks...) Stir a spoonful into coffee or tea in place of cream, or mix a spoonful into nonfat skim milk or 1% milk before pouring over cereal.... You'll be pleasantly surprised how much your new leaner milk tastes like your old milk/cream!Read More
C&J Nutrition If you rush while driving, you’re more likely to get into an accident. Rush through a project at work, and you’re more likely to make a mistake. Eating is no different. Make the time to slow down at meals and really pay attention, and you’ll be more likely to make better choices re: the foods you choose and how much you eat!
C&J Nutrition Want some inspiration to take your lunch to work more often? Buy a set of nice containers in various sizes, an insulated bag, and an ice pack or two. Having containers to put your food in that keep it fresh and un-smooshed (and prevent foods that shouldn't be combined from mixing during your commute) makes it much more appealing to bring lunches from home!
C&J Nutrition Like throwing seeds and nuts into your cereal, oatmeal, salads, etc.? Feel like you've tried them all? Give hemp seed hearts and hemp seed butter a whirl! Not only do they provide heart-friendly fats but they're also a source of complete protein (11g protein in 2 Tbsp!)... just go easy on your serving size, these little guys pack in 160 calories per 2 Tbsp.
Ana Barreras Hey Willow! I had a question from a student in class at CNM last week about whether or not hemp seed is a complete protein. I have looked on WebMD and Pubmed and cannot seem to find the answer. I have found conflicting info and many websites which try to sell the product. Help please!
