I am having one of those days where I just can’t seem to stop eating. This is somewhat atypical for me, and ordinarily brought on due to fighting off an illness or not having eaten enough the day before. I am thinking that the latter is the case here; and if it is, I am […]

Courtesy of a mid-nineties episode of Seinfeld, the “big salad” or large New York-style diner salad entered the mainstream. It’s the perfect lunch option for the health-conscious…or is it? The answer is, it depends. The bigger the salad, the more add-ins it likely contains. Each add-in ingredient brings its own nutritional value and adds to […]
I am pleased that chain restaurants in New York are required to provide calorie counts for menu items. I think it’s great, frankly, and I appreciate how easy it makes to eliminate the clearly unhealthy item from your order. But what about those instances where the calorie count is moderate? There are those times when you […]
It is easy to get sucked in to every piece of fitness advice that you see online or the cover of a healthy lifestyle magazine. But it is important to remember that the results of the best studies are based on statistics…and you are not a statistic. You’re a person. And had you been included […]
I sit next to a woman at work with a metabolism that confounds me. She is tall and thin, claims to exercise less than twice per week, and eats ALL DAY LONG. Miraculously, I don’t hate her.

Sometimes, when I am not feeling well, the simplest foods are the ones that I find most satisfying. I have a few go-to side dishes that I assemble in to a complete meal. These items can be served at room temperature, so if I am more in the mood to graze, rather than consume a […]
It is no secret that Passover is a difficult holiday to keep. If you work full time, the challenge is even greater. The temptation to get lunch out often leads to forgetfulness that the holiday is still going and adherence to its rules oftentimes goes right out the window. If you do plan to keep […]
This afternoon’s tweet was a prelude to a post: “Currently in the process of consuming 16 ounces of #greenjuice . #liquidlunch” Admittedly – for me – the phrase “liquid lunch” no longer has the same meaning as it once had. When I was in law school, it was something that my Property professor joked about. […]
El Profesor is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. He loves potatoes in all forms, but is trying to eat healthfully and looks for ways to reduce his consumption of the french fried variety. This recipe offers the crunch and flavor of classic french fries, but at a substantial reduction in fat and calories. Spicy Roasted […]
