You've seen it on the brunch menu before and quickly found yourself persuaded to the lighter side: 'egg whites for $2 extra!' Turns out, you could save yourself some money and get more nutritional value for your buck by eating the whole egg. "Although egg whites provide protein, they lack egg yolks, which really help to rev up satiety. Whole eggs provide all nine essential amino acids and egg yolks provide fats, vitamins, and minerals that consuming simple egg whites does not provide. In fact, the saturated fats in egg yolks aid in hormone production and micronutrient absorption. Instead of eating boring egg whites, consume whole eggs instead to up your nutrition and increase satiety," Bouvier explains.

Swap Potato Chips For Popcorn
Having some pals over to watch the latest series on Netflix, or just need to veg out on a Friday night after a never-ending week? Usually, this is when you reach for mindless comfort foods that provide crunch, but not a lot of health benefits. Jaelin says instead of potato chips, whose combination of high salt and fat with a crispy texture make you overeat, opt for homemade popcorn. And nope, not in the microwave, but in on the stove top -- old-school. Made with olive or coconut oil and a bit of seasoning, popcorn will offer you fiber and fat to help you feel satisfied, she says.
