• Acupuncturist, Dr. Tom Ingegno offers a few simple hacks to circumvent “boredom-grazing” while keeping the kitchen well-stocked:

- Stick to a regular schedule, and that includes scheduling meals.
- Build self-care into your routine, which can include meditation, warm baths, or a hobby you can enjoy from home.
- Shop after you’ve already eaten, and stick to a grocery list.

• “The more hours you sit per day, the less muscle activation you will have, and the fewer calories you will burn,” Dr. Robles explains. “Inactivity can lead to loss of muscle mass, decreases in metabolism, and increased risk of obesity.” So, what’s the solution? If you can’t bring yourself to limit your TV time, then at least consider multi-tasking such as cleaning or exercising while you watch, Dr. Ingegno advises.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to plan meals ahead of time. Follow these tips for shopping smart during the pandemic, choose meals that do well as leftovers, and consider dealing with boredom by learning to cook the healthiest meals you can with the groceries that you have.
