As you may know by now, I am partnering with McDonald’s on their Wholesome Choices Blogger Program! Over the past few weeks, I have been sharing my own tips and ideas for making more wholesome choices in your every day life.

I am doing MY FIRST 5K in April and although I’m not on a strict diet and exercise regimen, I am aware of what I am eating and how much I’m eating!

For me, the key for eating healthy at home is to buy healthy food! I’m not going to say everything my home is healthy (cause it most definitely is NOT) but I do try to balance my meals better.

If I eat mac and cheese, I’ll eat a vegetable with it instead of baked beans. And I always watch my condiment usage – always use less ketchup, mayo, and butter when you can!

Now I know when you hear McDonald’s, ‘healthy’ probably isn’t the first word that comes to mind but McDonald’s was actually voted #8 on the list of America’s Top 10 Healthiest Fast Food Restaurants!

Making the wholesome choice is up to you!

McDonald’s offers a variety of whole-grain oatmeal choices on its breakfast menu, available all day. The Fruit & Maple Oatmeal and the Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal are both 100% natural whole grain oats, rich in fiber and freshly prepared for you.

McDonald’s is committed to giving us more delicious choices to feel good about in the months and years to come. Regardless of your dietary needs, you’ll find nutrient-minded choices at McDonald’s.
