Not eating lunch

Skipping lunch could mean overeating at night, when your systems are winding down and preparing for sleep. Set yourself up for success with a list of nearby restaurants or cafeteria choices that resemble one of these meals:

• 3–6 oz of chicken, salmon or lean meat on a bed of spinach or mixed greens with beets, apples, carrots, and crumbled cheese or avocado. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic.
• On-the-go option: Assortment of raw veggies (carrots, cucumber, broccoli) with 2 Tbsp hummus or Greek yogurt dressing, skim mozzarella cheese or roasted chickpeas, with whole-grain crackers and 1/2 cup grapes.
