Cook at home if you want a healthy diet, says study


Making home-cooked meals every day means you would eat fewer calories and make better choices in food, says study.

Cooking at home can lead to consuming fewer calories and healthier foods, according to a new study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Research.  

"When people cook most of their meals at home, they consume fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and less fat than those who cook less or not at all -- even if they are not trying to lose weight," says Julia A. Wolfson, MPP, a CLF-Lerner Fellow at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future and lead author of the study.

People who cooked dinner are more health-conscious when it comes to food choices when they do eat out, finds study. – Filepic
