Wanna reduce your calorie count when ordering in? Place your order early!

You know how grocery shopping when hungry leads to unhealthy impulse buys? The same is true when ordering meals. A recent study found that foods ordered close to meal time were higher in calories than those selected an hour or more in advance. So the next time you know you're going to be ordering in, don't wait until the last minute to make your selection. Check out the menu in advance, and place your order ahead of time! Great tip...



Major beer companies to list nutritional info on their products.

This is huge: The biggest beer companies in the U.S. -- Anheuser-Busch, MillerCoors, HeinekenUSA, and more -- have announced they'll be including calorie counts, carbs, and ingredient info on their products. The group represented in this Brewer's Voluntary Disclosure Initiative produce more than 81 percent of the beer sold nationwide. Officially, they have until the end of 2020, but we wouldn’t be surprised if some of the big brands jump on board right away. Fingers crossed…

And that's all we've got. 'Til next time... Chew the right thing!



Chew on this:

It's the first day of August, which means it's National Raspberry Cream Pie Day. Hack attack: Skip the crust, and serve yourself a bowl of berries with light whipped topping. Our pick? The natural kinds by So Delicious and Truwhip!
