Your Daily FoodScope for August 22, 2024

August 22, 2024



Do you often find yourself wondering what food to cook, how to cook it, and even that dreaded question—how much of it? It’s a daily struggle for all of us, but need not be with our food horoscope. Satisfaction is only a click away!

Aries

Today doesn't thrill you but it won't kill you, either. Be prepared nutritionally and you could soften the blow. Make breakfast an energy-inducing egg white omelet and fruit, while lunch should be, what else? A turkey and avocado sandwich.

Taurus

After a nutritionally decadent yesterday, you may be ready to start eating sensibly again. Take baby steps; cereal and yogurt for breakfast won't be challenging or threatening as long as you resist the urge to pour sugar all over it.

Gemini

Focusing on anything will be tough today, but you can do it. Knowing that the last of the dreaded leftovers are almost gone will add to your despair. Looks like it's time for your occasional body detox or clean-eating diet.

Cancer

Eschew invitation to fancy lunches, after-work suppers and dinner parties today. In fact, the only appointment you should agree to is a vigorous workout. After indulging a bit too often, it may be time to clear the system to make room for something a bit healthier.

Leo

Don't blur the lines between right and wrong today. Being on the run is no excuse for eating a fast-food lunch. Junk food is just plain wrong, not matter how hard you try to rationalize it -- bring along healthy snacks if you're going to be that busy.

Virgo

Look deep and you'll discover why your diets never work. Whole wheat pasta smothered in creamy garlic sauce, turkey on wheat with fries, a chocolate milk shake made with skim milk -- doesn't make much sense, does it? Realize you can't have it all and be sensible about the sacrifices you must make.

Libra

Express your gratitude to co-workers who have helped you by making them a special treat. Homemade cookies, muffins or breads will state your appreciation in no uncertain terms. Sharing with them will be good for your karma and give you ammunition for the next time they ask you for help.

Scorpio

You may have to compromise with co-workers if you want to get anything done. This may work against your grain, but you'll have no choice. Strike off after work and have dinner alone. This way the choices can be all yours, and no one will care if you smother your meatloaf in a gallon of ketchup.

Sagittarius

Moderation in all things food will be the key to your day. Only eat half portions and opt for salads, yogurt, fruit and whole-grain breads. You may tell people you feel great when eating healthy and clean... but you'll secretly wish for that last donut in the box.

Capricorn

You'll be driven to achieve excellence today. No task will be too trivial that it can't be done to perfection. Even preparing your lunch will be an exercise in excellence. No one makes a turkey club with the same stylish sense of poise as you.

Aquarius

You can learn a few things from peculiar people today. Their unusual outlook on life can introduce you to different and potentially rewarding perspectives. So go along if they invite you for a sushi meal of totally raw fish, and pray that the rewards for taking such a risk isn't a massive dose of salmonella.

Pisces

You'll feel drained after a mind-numbing workday. You'll come home feeling empty and dejected, but don't succumb to those negative feelings. Make yourself a quick baked-spaghetti casserole with garlic bread and just let the day slip off your shoulders.
