All over the world, if there's anything we all have in common, it's that we eat. Through breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, food connects us, fuels us, and comforts us. What we eat, however, is as diverse as we are. Depending on where we're from, we'll have certain foods that are staples in our diets or certain ways that we prepare those foods.

If you're feeling anxious about staying on track with all that extra-delicious holiday food around, you're not alone. Navigating food challenges (oh haiiii, social eating and food guilt!) during the holiday season can be tough. The good news is you don't need to eat like the holidays don't exist.

After a hectic afternoon of meetings, you finally have time to breathe and grab a convenient, no-brainer snack. Do you reach for chips and cookies? Fair enough — they're so convenient! But there's another option that won't lead to a sugar crash: bananas.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Is that true? Seems like a lot of pressure on breakfast, especially given that every meal is an opportunity to nourish our bodies with delicious and nutritious foods.

Have you ever felt a bit down and sought comfort in a snack? If so, you're not alone. Many people turn to food when they feel anxious, upset, lonely, or some other emotion. In fact, 58% of Americans report gaining weight thanks to stress-related eating. Almost everyone eats for emotional reasons, at least sometimes.

Do you worry about your weight during holidays and vacations? If so, you're not alone. Celebrations, trips, time with family and friends — and, of course, big holiday or vacation meals — all of these can be great fun and add richness to our lives. Yet health-conscious people, or people on longer-term weight loss journeys, sometimes worry about whether these events might derail them.

If you're like most people, chances are you rush through your day, ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. Plus, you might find yourself distracted by all the peeps and pings of your electronic devices.

Whether you're trying to achieve certain health goals or just meet basic nutritional needs, chances are you've encountered the healthy choice confusion before. It tends to happen at restaurants or grocery stores.
