Well it is Super Bowl Sunday and if you are anything like me and the small portion of people in this country that are not into football, it's all about the snacks. In our family we always have a spread of snacks as I am sure a lot of people do. Is there anything healthy? Not exactly. Is the Super Bowl one day out of the year? Yep! I have always said on occasions such as these you really should allow yourself to enjoy. Try to limit yourself a bit and don't go nuts, but even if you do go overboard just remember that tomorrow is another day.

I know I have talked about food on my blog before but I personally think it is important to revisit it every now and then. Food and your choices with food are the biggest part of your journey with your weight. We have to eat to survive and it is important to give our bodies the best fuel possible. On top of that there are so many things that are not so great for us around. I get it. Food is definitely still a struggle for me. I love healthy food, I love planning my meals and making healthy meals. More importantly I love how I feel when I am on a great meal plan and sticking to it in tandem with my gym schedule. I also have a sweet tooth and crave foods that are not so great for me. I think that is only human.

So what do we do when it comes to craving the foods you know you shouldn't have? My first piece of advice is to allow yourself to have a reasonable amount so you do not deprive yourself. Typically when you keep putting off your craving for too long you are likely going to binge. Obviously do not go crazy but go ahead and have a serving of ice cream or a serving of potato chips. If you are at a Super Bowl party tonight go ahead and enjoy yourself, just remember to eat a bit more sensibly tomorrow.

As far as my meal plan it really hasn't changed all that much since the last time I wrote about it. I am still trying to make breakfast the biggest meal of the day. Lately that has been eggs with some sort of carb (usually potatoes or protein pancakes) or plain yogurt with berries and nuts and a bit of honey. I personally give myself a good amount of time in the mornings to make a healthy breakfast for myself, but I know a lot of people are rushing in the mornings. I would say plan for that ahead of time if that is your case. There are plenty of recipes you can make ahead and enjoy a healthy breakfast on the go. Overnight oats and smoothies are great examples and there are a ton of recipes online through Pinterest or Google. I would say that one of the most important favors you can do for yourself is making breakfast a priority.
