Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Honestly, what could be better than a holiday where we are encouraged to go out with friends and coworkers to eat Mexican food? I can't think of anything. :) 

So how can you stay on track during a delicious Fiesta? Here are my simple tips-
  • Don’t. Go. Hungry! Make sure you have a good breakfast/lunch before so that you’re not starving when the time to feast rolls around
  • When the chips come, put a few on your plate and limit yourself to only that amount, chips can be up to 100 calories a pop and can kill your calorie intake before your entrée even comes
  • Don’t order queso!/If your friends/coworkers order it don’t eat it, I know this is so so hard, but this one is a killer - better to leave it off the table.
  • What entrée to order-
    • Taco salad – if it comes in a crispy shell, ask for no shell + no sour cream + dressing on the side and then use salsa as your dressing
    • Chicken or Grilled Fish Tacos with corn tortillas – no sour cream, if you're feeling full after appetizers skip the taco shells all together
    • Fajitas - ask for corn tortillas and try to fill up with protein (meat) and veggies vs. carbs
    • Tortilla soup - if it's not cream based 
  • Utilize salsa + guac to enhance flavor of your dish
  • Drink water/tea – stay away from carbonation
  • Try to steer clear of refried beans...or really anything battered + fried 
  • Margarita - order a skinny! ​

I want to balance these recommendations by saying...it's okay to live a little! There's nothing wrong with letting this be your "cheat meal" (don't forget my 90/10 rule!) and just relaxing + letting go.

​Balance is key in all things. Be kind to yourself. Life is just too short.
