Be Prepared or Prepare to Fail

It was reported in Journal of the American Dietetic Association that the Frequency of preparing food was related to lower intakes of fat and higher intakes of fruits and vegetables, fiber, folate, and vitamin A. Preparing was related to lower intakes of carbonated beverages among female adolescents and lower intakes of fried foods among male adolescents.I have the understanding that if you dont prepare your food, then there is a tendency to rely on others(cafes,vending machines and so on,,) which generally stock a higher ratio of high energy density foods vs high nutrient density, so make sure you never left running empty!
