You’re walking down the street, and your senses are overwhelmed by the scents of Greece, the Middle East, Mexico, America, and more. Ah, the food trucks creating their yummy street fare. But if you’re trying to stick to your healthy eating plan, does that mean you have to walk on by? Not necessarily.
Sure, many food cart meals or street foods aren’t topping any uber nutritious foods lists, but nutrient content isn’t all there is to healthy eating. It’s important to keep the joy and pleasure in your eating. Enjoying “treat” foods occasionally is a great way to keep your eating fun as well as help you stick to your healthy eating because you’re not in a constant state of deprivation.
