A girl’s gotta eat, so why not make every bite count? A small change can make a big difference.

Instead of working hard after every meal, eat smarter with these five simple alternatives.

It’s time you made your food work for you.

Brown Rice instead of White

Late night sushi date? Opt for brown rice instead of white. Brown rice is a whole grain and contains health boosting nutrients such as: magnesium, vitamin E, zinc, and iron.

Plus, just one cup of brown rice provides more than twice the amount of fiber than white.

Plain Yogurt instead of Sour Cream

There are two reasons that your stomach may not have the same lean, sexy ripped look that it once did:

1) You may have put on weight and, as a result, your stomach has grown; or 2) You are eating foods that contribute to belly fat.

The good news is that both of those issues can be rectified with a few simple steps.
