Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but don’t sabotage it with poor food choices. Experts say be sure to get enough protein and be careful to keep your breakfast at about 400 calories. Don’t fill up on carbs, avoid frozen breakfast meals that can be high in sodium and try fresh fruit instead of fruit juice that’s high in sugar. Source Link
 
Food safety isn’t just important for your meals - it also matters when you serve your dog or cat. Pet food can harbor bacteria and you should always wash your hands after handling it. Keep pet food in the original bag and sealed in a plastic container and gather it with a clean scoop and not the bowl. And throw away food that’s been left out if your pet doesn’t eat it.

Remember this when you’re ready to make exercise a regular habit. Lifting weights won't add pounds from big bulky muscles but it will build muscle mass to help you burn more fat. You don’t need long workouts -- about 30 minutes five times a week is plenty. And you can skip the gym membership by working more activity into your day. Source Link
