When you go out to eat, don’t force yourself to finish all the food and overeat. The restaurants usually give more than our body needs for a meal. Save some meat portions for leftover. Seize on every opportunity to incorporate vegetables into your diet.

It is handy to have a bag of prewashed broccoli in the fridge. All you have to do is to toss them directly into a small pot or pan and add 1/2 cup of water and steam for a couple of minutes after the water is steaming if you don’t have a steamer device. Don’t over steam it. It tastes really good when it is crunchy and less steam time will help retain the nutritional value of the vegetables too. Just add some salt and pepper on your steamed veggies before serving.

Spinach would be a great option too. Just simply stir them with oil and chopped garlic.

Key takeaway:

Don’t overeat. Bring some leftover home. Don’t just eat your leftover. Add some nice delicious and nutritious veggies to your leftover meal. Or a quick and easy salad will do too!
