Eating healthier is one of the most popular resolutions for the New Year. With all of the delicious meals and desserts available during the holidays, many people tend to overindulge at the end of the year and want a clean slate going into January. From breakfast to snacks, here are four easy-to-follow tips for eating healthier in the New Year.

Healthy Eating New Year’s Resolutions

1. Eat Breakfast Each Morning

Many studies have shown the multitude of benefits you can experience by eating a healthy breakfast every morning. Some of these include helping you burn more calories throughout the day and providing you with sustainable energy. Breakfast can also help you maintain a healthy weight, control your blood sugar, provide healthy heart benefits, and give you the focus and energy you need to succeed at work or school.

2. Have More Vegetables

A smart way to improve your health without the need for drastic changes to your lifestyle is to increase the number of vegetables you consume. Turn it into a fun game by trying a new vegetable every week and using it as a side dish. You’re sure to look forward to browsing your grocery store’s produce aisles.

3. Meal Prep Lunches for the Week

Eating out every single day for lunch at work can take a toll on your health and your wallet. Make it your resolution this year to take the time on Sunday afternoons to prepare lunches for the rest of the week. Make enough for four portions and reward yourself for a job well done by eating lunch out on Fridays.

4. Switch to Healthier Snacks

Another source of unnecessary calories is the series of unhealthy snacks many people eat throughout the day. Kick your junk food habit by replacing your current snacks with healthier alternatives. Try stocking up on nuts, dried fruit, and veggie chips and keep them nearby for when a craving hits.
