If you’re headed to the mall to complete your mission – beware of the food court. Sure, it’s convenient – but try not to let that aroma draw you in. First of all, eating on the run is never really good. You’ll be much more satisfied if you opt for a sit down restaurant and savor the meal. Taking snacks along will save you time and money – and will probably be healthier than anything you’ll find in the mall. Most of those mall snacks have as many or more calories than a full meal! Finally, some of that food court food sits around for hours – definitely avoid it later in the day or at night.
If you need a caffeine break – opt for plain tea or coffee – and make it a small. Those festive coffee drinks you’ll find in the mall are loaded with extras – extra flavoring, calories and price.
