NATIONAL EAT WHAT YOU WANT DAY ACTIVITIES
- One thing that people always seem to ask permission for is having breakfast for dinner. You should take the freedom to choose a fluffy stack of Pancakes with a side of Bacon for dinner. This may throw off your taste buds, but your stomach will be happy.
- If you normally pack a lunch for school or work, leave the brown paper bag at home. Instead, invite your coworkers out for lunch. Visit a new restaurant in the area and you will enjoy the company and the break from the same old sandwich.
- Parents are mainly in charge of selecting what’s for dinner. Eat What you Want Day is an opportunity for the kids to decide what will prepared for dinner creating an opportunity for the children to prepare the meal.
WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL EAT WHAT YOU WANT DAY
- Everyone seems to be wrapped up in counting calories and restricting themselves from consuming certain foods. On Eat What You Want Day, you have the freedom to choose what to eat without feeling guilty about it.
- For many people, cheat days may not be a frequent occurrence for our eating habits. Going out to dinners and drinks with friends stop us from trying the newest dish or drink on the menu. Today you’re allowed to taste those dishes that you may have been holding off on.
- Many people plan their days out to include exactly what time and what type of food they will be eating. Eat What You Want Day frees up your schedule and allows you to be spontaneous, adding excitement to your day.
