Deep dives
Move away from low-quality cheese
One suggestion for eating more sensibly is to move away from low-quality cheese. Cheeses vary widely in terms of flavor per calorie and calories per dollar. Choosing cheeses with higher flavor per calorie, such as aged white cheddar or Osigao, can provide more flavor with fewer calories. By opting for high-flavor per calorie cheeses, you can enjoy higher-end ingredients without increasing your cheese budget, potentially saving hundreds of calories a day. Pairing this switch with eating slowly can be a winning combination for making healthier choices.
Experiment with voluntarily wasting small amounts of food
Another suggestion is to experiment with voluntarily wasting small amounts of food. Breaking the belief that finishing everything on your plate is necessary can help address habitual overconsumption. Leaving small amounts of food uneaten exercises your ability to stop consuming without relying on predetermined portion sizes. This practice returns control over your eating habits to your intentions and judgment. Additionally, focus on reducing food waste in more direct ways, such as making use of pantry items and preventing fridge leftovers from going bad.
