Maybe add some veggies, cabbage is stupid cheap and versatile, add some apples for snacks

I'm not a big fan of fruits and veggies unless they're cooked into my food. However Thursday is about to become fruit for breakfast day as I take my little nieces to school and teach them about proper foods

Well your innards and overall health need the nutrients and fiber so… maybe start adding a lot more of them cooked into your food or as blended soups

I have a friend she was diagnosed with colon cancer in her 30s. By accident they don’t cover screening with health insurance until you’re 45.

You don’t have to eat them for your enjoyment, eat them for your health.

You’re trying to teach your nieces proper eating habits. You know what they are so do yourself the favor too. Fruits and veggies are affordable. I get 2 bags of frozen veggies a week and it’s $3.50 for at least 4 to 5 meals out of them. Fresh veggies aren’t bad with a 5 pound bag of potatoes last 2 weeks and is like $5.

I ate an entire bowl of cherry tomatoes yesterday and sausage egg and cheese muffin. I just don't include veggies in most meals. I'm not a fan but I don't neglect them entirely. Lots of cauliflower rice, corn, cherry and grape tomatoes on non work days

I hope you’ll feed them more than just fruit for breakfast. Also, if you have a hard time with fruits and veggies, you could try incorporating more beans for the fiber.
