Many times people (adults and teens alike) feel like they are "pigging out" because they have a restrictive dieting mentality. Your body requires adequate nutrients to function properly. Extra weight comes from eating too many empty calories that don't provide very much nutrition. When you eat nutrient dense foods you can eat a great deal, provide your body with all the energy and nutrients that it needs to run its most efficient. Please go and read the Teen Nutrient Guide and let me know if you have additional questions as you begin to Spark your way to a healthy and active life.

Get help. Tell someone you know will respect your goals and you know you can count on, and ask them to help you choose better choices. For instince, a parent. They are the ones buying the groceries, after all, so add them into your quest for better eating. You can't do it alone! I'm always here to help, by the way, I'm going through the same thing. :) I'll be happy to help

Hey, it says you should get a minimum of so many carbs, protein, fats, etc. each day, but when I try to meet that goal, I feel like I'm pigging out!
