Nutrition: Mindful Eating

Mindful Eating is the ability to pay attention to what one is eating while they are eating. Distraction proves to do crazy things. One study found that television viewing impairs people's ability to accurately estimate food consumption during viewing, which may lead to an unintentional consumption of more calories and fat.

Your challenge: pay more attention to what you are eating. If you normally watch TV while eating dinner, try turning off the television, put down your cell phone and enjoy your meal. Make sure your proportion of food fits with the My Plate recommendations.
