Eating on the Run

When you shop the frozen food case, can you spot the "light" dinners that are really hiding big doses of fat?

How can you squeeze healthy, nutritious meals into your busy schedule?

Eating on the Run has the answers! It's a survival guide for everyone who is too busy to cook and eat traditional meals. This second edition has almost twice as much information as the original, including

• best and worst bets in fast foods, deli foods, frozen meals, snacks, and restaurant meals,

• how to choose healthy airline meals,

• how traveling athletes can order carbohydrate-heavy meals,

• 40 mini meals that take just one minute to fix,

• one week of no-cook meals complete with shopping list,

• grazing strategies,

• how to avoid the fat traps in healthy-sounding convenience foods,

• kiddie convenience cuisine--fast, frozen, and microwave, and

• detailed nutrition appendixes on fast foods and light frozen meals.

Use Eating on the Run to develop healthy, practical eating habits that fit your hectic lifestyle!

This isn't a cookbook, but there are several recipes throughout the book--many and enough to have you up and going with good eating habits. Since it is geared to busy people, it's an easy, straightforward read that really helps you to understand weight management and how to apply it. In other books, I usually learn a lot then forget it because it just isn't realistic.

The author has a regular column (Recipe Makeover) in Shape magazine, is the spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, and qualified for the 1984 Olympic marathon event. Therefore, she has the credentials.

So, in my most sincerist verve, I totally recommend reading this book as a way to change eating habits and understand weight management for yourself.
