Healthy Eating

So I have to focus on eating the proper foods.  I generally have breakfast down — a good grain cereal or eggs and toast for breakfast on heavy training days, and while on a long bike ride, I consume the right amounts of nourishment to get me through the ride.  And I generally follow a heavy training session with the old favorite Peanut butter sandwich on whole-grain bread.

But when it comes to dinner, all bets are usually off.  That is where I really need to change some habits.

To start, I need to conquer large portions and get into the proper mindset of eating less.  Seems simple enough, but what a struggle that is turning out to be…  Going out to eat quickly becomes a disaster as many restaurants have huge portions.   Just tonight I took my kids to Wahoo’s, a fish taco restaurant, but the amount of rice and beans that came with the meal was way too much.  The fish taco only has 170 calories and 4 g of fat, but the rice and beans have more than 500 calories combined! Sheesh!  Fortunately I only had half of the portion, so in all, I think I came out ok tonight.
