Here are some healthy eating tips for couples:

Because when you are watching TV, you are often distracted and this can lead to overeating. While watching the television, you will not be able to pay attention on the food on your plate.
2. Make a new date night - Eating out at restaurants is become a common place for couples spending their date night. If as couples, you are looking to lose weight, then eating out is a bad idea. A better solution is cooking healthy at home, this way you can limit the use of ingredients, limit excess salt and fat. And yes, it is a great way for bonding in the kitchen.
3. Manage Your Portions - Make sure the portion size of each of the foods should be half and half. Half of your plate should be filled with vegetables which are rich in fibre and the other half should be lean protein.
