Any words of advice?

Hi there, I am new to the community but have been using fitness pal on and off just to count calories for about a year now. I am definitely addicted to bad food, just this morning I succumbed to the craving of pizza for breakfast. I live with my boyfriend and he eats really badly; at his job they serve him pizza for lunch every Saturday and gives him the leftover boxes when the work day is up. Pizza is my favourite. Anyways, I'm trying to change the eating habits for both of us. Are there any tips or tricks to staying on track and eating healthier?

Hey me and my boyfriend live together as well and we both also love pizza. For me i love healthy food and could eat it all day as for him not so much. But I've been making "green" smoothies in the morning for the both of us because we are both losing weight. As for pizza i try and get a pizza without red sauce and put veggies like spiniach and tomato on it. Also for any other meals just portion things before you cook or as your fixing a plate and you won't over eat. If you have leftovers, try having them for lunch the next day. Also drink a lot of water. I drink at least 80 oz a day. Keeps you full and hydrated.

Pizza has all the food groups on it, if a little high in fat. I find I can fit a couple pieces in a week, sticking to thin crust.

You can also try eating a slice with a big salad.

Just have lots of healthy options around. Carrot sticks, fruit, and yogurt in the fridge.

Try making a stew or chili once a week that you can portion out for lunches and dinners.

Make a salad in the morning that you can nibble on at lunch and dinner. Add cheese, tuna, or chicken strips to round it out.

You can bake all your chicken breasts at once to be available for meals.
