THE COMMITMENT TO BREAKFAST In recent years, I’ve made more of an effort to eat breakfast. Instant oatmeal became a go-to, and I would occasionally make eggs or avocado toast if I was feeling mildly ambitious. Then, after reading a dietitian’s preference for overnight oats, I decided to give them a whirl. Overnight oats are exactly what they sound like, provided you think they sound like oats you make overnight. The exact recipe can be customized to your taste, but the two basic ingredients are the same as always — oats and liquid. Instead of relying on hot water or heated milk, you keep things cold, allowing the oats to form overnight in the fridge. If you want to spruce things up from there — and, trust me, you do — you can add other ingredients like yogurt, nut butters, chia and flax seeds, and other oat-friendly items. Berries are a smart addition that can be added in the morning before eating to freshen things up. Depending on how you make your overnigh...

Eating fish can help with your weight-loss goals — provided you’re choosing the right kind. Most fish are high in protein but contain fewer calories than other protein sources , like poultry or beef, says  Kristen Smith , MS, registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Protein-rich foods, she explains, can help increase satiety and prevent overeating at or between meals. Moreover, many  fish are also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids , an essential nutrient that promotes heart and  brain health . Of course, it’s important to note that adding seafood to your diet doesn’t automatically guarantee weight loss, says Cara Harbstreet, MS, a registered dietitian and founder of  Street Smart Nutrition . But incorporating nutrient-dense fish into a balanced diet — and committing to regular exercise, hydration and good sleep — can help propel you toward your weight-loss goals. Here are five nutrient-rich types to add to you...

10 On-the-Go Snacks Dietitians Swear By Not having  healthy snack options  available when  hunger strikes  between meals can contribute to  overeating  and make  weight loss  harder. Part of the problem is it can be difficult to locate a healthy option when you’re not at home or don’t have time to  whip something up . Here, nutrition pros share their  favorite portable snacks  for jam-packed days: “If I don’t have time to make a healthy snack, I opt for a cheese stick and dried fruit,” says Natalie Rizzo , RD. “Cheese sticks are  portion-controlled  and have about 7–8 grams of protein per stick. I usually pair them with some sort of  dried fruit  for a little bit of sweetness and some healthy  carbs ,  vitamins and minerals . It’s a well-balanced snack that satisfies hunger.” Prepare your own mini snack-pack ...
