Our
delicious Lacto-Ovo (may contain
some dairy and/or eggs)
vegetarian meals come in two
different calorie levels; 1200
and 1600. The food in the
different levels is the same
except that the portions are
proportionate to the calorie
level. |
If
there is a particular meal in a particular cycle
that you don't desire, you may substitute other
items from that pickup cycle, or you may select
from the list of items that are always
available.
Our
meals are affordably priced.
When you take into consideration the time for
shopping, cost of food, preparation time and
discarded leftovers, you will quickly realize that
our meals are more economical than fast food, and
a lot healthier.

The holiday season can bring many food challenges when it comes to sticking with your healthy eating regime. Follow these holiday tips to avoid any unwanted weight gain this holiday season.
Healthy Holiday Eating Tips:
1. Plan ahead
- Identify parties or activities that may challenging
- Brainstorm to develop strategies for potential “food challenging situations.”
- Put some calories “in the bank” and make a plan of what you'll have at the party
2. Avoid overeating
- Try not to arrive “starving.” In general, people tend to eat more when overly hungry. Consider a soup or hot drink before you arrive.
- Get enough sleep. Studies show we eat more when we are tired.
- Bring a dish you feel comfortable eating.
- Fill up on fewer calorie foods. Consider covering your plate with veggies, fruit, lean meats, poultry, fish, and whole grains.
- Avoid foods you think may be problematic for you to choose alternative substitutes.
3. Focus on “eating awareness” techniques
- Try to be fully present while you are eating-“savor the flavor” of your favorite food.
- “Eat the best, save the rest.” Review your options before you get started and make sure to include your favorite foods: pass on those you care least about or can have anytime.
- Think about positioning yourself away from the food; “out of sight out of mind” might work to your advantage!
4. The alcohol factor
- Be aware that alcohol adds empty calories, decreases your resolve and increases your appetite.
- If you plan to drink, allocate the number and budget your calories accordingly.
5. Keep on moving!
- Exercise is a helpful tool to balance calories and relieve stress.
- Consider a walk after dinner.
6. Maintenance is success
- Trying to lose during the holidays may be setting you up to fail.
Remember the holiday season comes once a year; do your best.
Happy Holidays! |
