In a world overrun by supersized meals and sugary drinks, it can feel like it’s almost impossible to stick to a healthy eating plan. Fortunately, smartphone apps can help dieters make healthy food choices and still enjoy eating. Here are three of the best healthy eating apps.

If you struggle with planning healthy meals throughout the week, the SparkRecipes Healthy Recipes app can help. This app offers nutritious recipes complete with high quality images, and each one is divided into categories like Best Breakfasts, Quick Dinners, and Spring Salads.

Foodle features an option to create a list of your favorite foods, and the app even offers custom portion sizes for more accuracy.

If you’re looking for a great bargain in entertainment, grab some spare change and head down to the Alco Capital Theaters in Boynton Beach. This value-priced theater has been pleasing patrons for years with surprisingly well-kept facilities at a very reasonable cost. Regular ticket prices are just $8.50, but the real bargains come with matinees: Shows before 4 p.m. are just $6, and pre-noon shows are a seriously cheap $5.50. Despite the very reasonable prices, the screenings are rarely crowded, making for a much more comfortable and relaxing movie experience.

The projection quality is also fairly high, and movies on offer are first-run, not old flicks that have been out in theaters for some time. They also have one auditorium prepared for 3D screening. Some complain that the popcorn at the concession stands can be a bit stale, but you can always bring your own snacks if that’s an issue!

The classic American diner is one of the country’s iconic restaurants, a comfortable, casual space to enjoy reasonably priced food in sizable portions with nothing too fancy. As you might guess from its name, Boynton Beach’s The Diner doesn’t step too far out of that footprint, which is fine by its patrons. Regulars rave about the American classics on offer here. In fact, The Diner is widely recognized as one of the best breakfast deals in town!

Go for an awesome five-egg omelet, which will satiate even the hungriest of diners. Other excellent breakfast options include the eggs with biscuits and gravy and the thick, perfectly crispy Belgian waffles. Chocolate chip pancakes also win raves. For lunch, locals recommend the house-made Angus beef burgers (opt for Cheddar cheese and bacon for a classic meal). Sandwiches are also solid, with the Double Monty a particular favorite.

The Diner is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Be warned: The wait for a table can get really long, especially on Sunday mornings as the post-church crowd congregates here.
