How to eat dinner at home without the frequent desire to eat out?

Lately I've honestly been eating out lately. Im trying to get in the habit of eating healthier when I do, but my motives for eating out more frequently i think is tied with what I usually have dinner, which is usually fish, pop corn chicken and an apple. Obviously the apple is the healthiest of the three, but i have tl wonder any idea to combat this?

  1. Over the last year or so i've been eating some frozen bags of rice and veggies I buy at Sams club. The one on the left comes for a more healthier, brand, but currently they seem to be discontinued at sams for the moment. The only on the right, labeled Members Mark replaced it. the taste isn't as good, but it's still rice. I have this just about every day for break fast. I also need to mention some Jello that my mom makes for me. It seems t be a unique recipe and I plan on contacting mom once this comment is posted about how it's made so you could have your two cents on it. emntionWhat I eat for breakfast

  2. As far as pre-made meals go are there any common brands you'd recommend that also can be found at local food stores?

    1. Hi . Other than Wegman's premade meals, I haven't really tried any. You could start a separate forum post though and see what kind of feedback you get from others in the community. I have found the Wegman's meals to be tasty, satisfying and healthy, especially the poke bowls and the salads with protein. - Lori (Team Member)

  3. Hi . Have you considered subscribing to a meal program like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron or Marley Spoon? Those are national companies, but you might have a local one as well. Our Wegman's supermarket has some healthy, premade meals as well. Have you checked out your supermarket? The premade meals might be a good transition as you learn to make healthy meals at home. I find it helpful to make more than we need and then freeze a few servings. On nights when I don't want to cook, my husband and I usually have a few premade meals to choose from in the freezer. I hope that helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. How kind of her. Do you like apples? I find apples curb my appetite and they are fairly low in calories as well. - Lori (Team Member)

    2. Alot. In most dinners I have Apples first.
