As healthy as you think your diet may be, there are probably a few things you're overlooking.

It's not your fault: Research shows that, in general, we're really, really bad at remembering not only what we've eaten but also how much exercise we've done throughout the day.

The problem here isn't just that our memories aren't reliable — it's also that we often overlook the calories in many of the foods we eat habitually, from coffee to the occasional handful of granola.

Take this quiz to find out which foods you should eat — and which ones you should avoid — to keep you full and energized throughout the day.

It's Monday morning. Before you leave for the office, do you eat A. a bowl of cereal or B. toast and eggs?

You should have picked: B. toast and eggs

Eggs are packed with protein to keep you full and vitamins to power your immune system and keep your hair and nails healthy. And hard-boiling them doesn't add any fat or calories.

The toast adds some healthy carbs for energy and fiber to keep your digestive system running smoothly.

You've been working for a few hours. Your mind is getting foggy and you're fighting off the urge to crawl under your desk with a pillow and blanket. Do you A. head to the kitchen for a coffee or B. put on some tennis shoes and go for a quick stroll around the block?

We're halfway through the year, which means there's still plenty of time for companies such as Apple, Google, and Samsung to release new products in time for the holiday season.

Although most of these companies haven't spoken publicly about their new products yet, leaks have given us an idea of what's to come. 

From new iPhones to the next version of Windows, here's a look at the products we can expect to see before the year's end.

Apple will probably announce its new iPhone(s) in September.

Apple typically unveils its new iPhones in September, and we don't have reason to believe this year will be any different. Apple's next iPhone is rumored to be called the iPhone 6s or iPhone 7, and it's expected to come with a better camera and a Force Touch screen just like the Apple Watch. It will probably come in two sizes just like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. 

And then a giant new iPad in October.

Apple has been rumored to be working on a new iPad with a 12.9-inch screen, which would make it about the same size as the screen on the 13-inch MacBook. Apple typically unveils its new iPads in October, so there's a chance we'll see it then. We haven't heard much about whether or not a new 9.7-inch iPad is in the works as well. 

The next big update for iPhones and iPads is coming, too.

Apple has already confirmed that iOS 9 will launch this fall. Apple usually times the launch of its new software with its iPhone unveiling, so it'll likely roll out when the next iPhone goes on sale. iOS 9 brings a bunch of new features to the iPhone and iPad, such as a more powerful version of Siri that's more contextual, the ability to run apps side-by-side on the iPad, and more. 

More than two centuries after Philadelphians launched America's first July 4th fireworks in 1777 (one year after The Declaration of Independence was adopted), firework shows are still the biggest and brightest of all Independence Day traditions. 

Each year people gather across the US to see the amazing pyrotechnics that commemorate the birth of America. Some cities really outdo themselves. 

Here's a look at 11 of the most expensive and enormous firework shows lighting up the night this Fourth of July.

WASHINGTON, DC: Lasting over 17 minutes, this show is among the largest in the US. The fireworks are set off from the Reflecting Pool, so those who score a seat on the National Mall get the best view. However, the lights can be seen from miles away.

BOSTON: Boston's display is one of the most expensive in the US; its 2013 show cost a whopping $2.5 million to produce. The over 20-minute extravaganza is televised and accompanied by the music of the famed Boston Pops.

We understand that a list of the most American films could run 239 items long — the number of years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

It's an outlandish dream to narrow that list to 25, but hey, this is America. Dare to dream.

We rounded up the movies that will stir your nostalgia for the red-white-and-blue, and a few titles just for fun — listed in order of release.

"Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942): George M. Cohan (James Cagney) finds his place in musical theater history, writing "Over There,""The Yankee Doodle Boy," and "You're A Grand Old Flag" over the course of his life.

"1776" (1972): Benjamin Franklin and John Adams (William Daniels) peer-pressure Thomas Jefferson — in song and dance — to write the Declaration of Independence days before the Fourth.

The moment you realize it happened is the worst. You're locked out of your email address and you don't what to do. Panic, dread, and helplessness are the only things you feel.

Yes, you've been hacked, but now is the time to act.

If you act swiftly and rationally you can clear up this mess in a matter of hours.

Here are the first things you should do to minimize the damage a hack does to your life.

Don't panic!

People get hacked everyday. This may not seem comforting, but just know that things will get back to normal soon. Take a few seconds, breathe, and know that this can be fixed.

Get your account back

If you're locked out of your account, the first thing you need to do is get it back. You do this by contacting the service provider, be it Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They all have forms and numbers you can call to regain control. But the quicker you do this the less damage that gets done.

Change all your passwords

Once you have all your accounts back, change all the passwords. Don't iterate on old passwords. Instead, make long and very difficult passwords. Include different cases, letters, numbers, and symbols.

Hackers do attacks called "brute force" where they try to guess passwords using trial and error. Despite how arduous it sounds it's insanely effective. The way to avoid being hacked by a brute force attack is to have a password that is long, difficult, and not based on a word in the dictionary.

When America has a birthday, the president is expected to throw it a party.

While most of us honor our nation with a cookout and some fireworks, US presidents deliver patriotic speeches, honor troops, and even plan wars.

Others have used the time to recline in presidential fashion, and several have even died on America's birthday.

Here are some of the most interesting ways presidents have celebrated the Fourth of July. 

Elena Schneider wrote an earlier version of this post.

George Washington fell ill on July 4, 1789 and spent the nation's 13th birthday in bed. In fairness to Washington, Fourth of July celebrations didn't really catch on until about 1820, and Independence Day wasn't declared a federal holiday until 1870.

Thomas Jefferson, one of two Presidents to sign the Declaration of Independence, started the White House tradition of celebrating the Fourth of July with the first Independence Day reception in 1801. He is also one of three presidents to die on July 4, along with America's second president, John Adams and its fifth president, James Monroe.

On July 4, 1828, John Quincy Adams attended a groundbreaking ceremony for the excavation of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at Little Falls located just above Georgetown. He also gave an address, accompanied by music from the US Marine Band.

Savvy hiring managers can glean a ton of information about you by asking just a few, well-chosen questions.

But while they may seem simple — that's the point — some are actually designed to get you to reveal information you may have been trying to conceal. In other words: they're trick questions.

"To uncover areas that may reflect inconsistencies, hiring managers sometimes ask these tricky questions," says Tina Nicolai, executive career coach and founder of Resume Writers' Ink.

But they're not just about exposing your flaws, says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job." These types of questions can help hiring managers break through the "traditional interview noise and clutter," and get to the "raw you." 

Here are 17 common examples, complete with advice on how to ace each one.

Check out these cover letter mistakes to avoid:  The 8 most common cover letter mistakes that could cost you the job

How would you describe yourself in one word?

Why do they ask this? The question is likely being asked to elicit several data points: your personality type, how confident you are in your self perception, and whether your work style is a good fit for the job, Taylor explains.

What makes it tricky? This question can be a challenge, particularly early on in the interview, because you don't really know what personality type the manager is seeking. "There is a fine line between sounding self-congratulatory versus confident, and humble versus timid," Taylor says. "And people are multifaceted, so putting a short label on oneself can seem nearly impossible."

What response are they looking for? Proceed cautiously, warns Taylor. "If you know you're reliable and dedicated, but love the fact that your friends praise your clever humor, stick with the conservative route." If you're applying for an accounting job, the one word descriptor should not be "creative," and if it's an art director position, you don't want it to be, "punctual," for example. "Most employers today are seeking team players that are levelheaded under pressure, upbeat, honest, reliable, and dedicated. However, it would be a mistake to rattle off adjectives that you think will be well received. This is your opportunity to describe how your best attributes are a great match for the job as you see it."

How does this position compare to others you are applying for?

Why do they ask this? They're basically asking: "Are you applying for other jobs?""The hiring manager is first trying to figure out how active you are in your job search," Nicolai says. Then, once you open up, they want to see how to speak about other companies or positions you're interested in — and how honest you are. 

What makes it tricky? If you say, "This is the only job I'm applying for," that'll send up a red flag. Very few job applicants only apply to the one single job — so they may assume you're being dishonest. However, if you openly speak about other positions you're pursuing, and you speak favorably about them, the hiring manager may worry that you'll end up taking another job elsewhere, and they won't want to waste their time. "Speaking negatively about other jobs or employers isn't good either," she says. 

What response are they looking for? It is appropriate to say, "There are several organizations with whom I am interviewing, however, I've not yet decided the best fit for my next career move.""This is positive and protects the competitors," says Nicolai. "No reason to pit companies or to brag." 

Can you name three of your strengths and weaknesses?

Why do they ask this? The interviewer is looking for red flags and deal breakers, such as inability to work well with coworkers and/or an inability to meet deadlines. "Each job has its unique requirements, so your answers should showcase applicable strengths, and your weaknesses should have a silver lining," Taylor says. "At the very least, you should indicate that negative attributes have diminished because of positive actions you've taken."

What makes it tricky? You can sabotage yourself addressing either. Exposing your weaknesses can hurt you if not ultimately turned into positives, she says. "Your strengths may not align with the skill set or work style required for the job. It's best to prepare for this question in advance, or risk landing in a minefield."

What response are they looking for? Hiring managers want to know that your strengths will be a direct asset to the new position and none of your weaknesses would hurt your ability to perform. "They are also looking for your ability to self assess with maturity and confidence," says Taylor.

NOW WATCH: Forget the Apple Watch — here's the new watch everyone on Wall Street wants

S'mores are a summer staple. And they are the perfect way to cap off a great evening of grilling out on the patio.

The recipe is simple, but the execution is difficult. Two graham crackers, delicately placed over precisely melted chocolate, set ablaze by a perfectly cooked and positioned mallow.

It's a lot harder to pull off than it looks.

And then. I found it.

I stumbled on them at Target. We were getting S'more stuff, and saw these stowed away back in the store.

They're called Jet-Puffed S'moreMallows, made by Kraft. And they will transform your summer.

To the naked eye, placed next to the other delicious s'more fixin 's, these marshmallows might not look all that revolutionary. But they are.

"Working in IT was never my dream job. Photography has always been a big passion of mine, a creative outlet so to speak," he tells us.

When he first downloaded Instagram's app, he didn't pay much attention to it. "It was hard to believe that a mobile device would be able to take good photos," he says.

The most successful people know that exercise is the key to mentally and physically pushing themselves further, though some are more willing to keep up the habit than others.

Numerous studies have found exercise to be one of the most important habits you can develop to transform your life. Working out can make you healthier, happier, and better able to sleep; it can boost your memory, concentration, and mental sharpness; and you don't need to spend a lot of time doing it to reap the benefits.

From tennis to surfing to basketball, here are the exercise habits of 15 successful people.

Vivian Giang contributed to an earlier version of this article.

President Barack Obama sweats it out 45 minutes a day, six days a week.

Exercise has helped the president become the man he is today. Obama admitted in his autobiography "Dreams From My Father," to being a casual drug user and underachiever until he started running three miles a day.

Today, he continues to stick to his workout routine, which is a combination of strength and cardio. In an interview with Men's Health, Obama said he works out for 45 minutes, six days a week. He'll even wake up early to work out despite not being a morning person.

He's also known to play basketball on courts in federal buildings around Washington.

Richard Branson gets four additional hours of productivity every day by working out.

When author Tim Ferriss asked the mogul how he stays productive, Branson answered "work out," as recorded in Ferriss' 2010 book "The 4-Hour Body."

Branson said his physical activities, which can include swimming, Bikram Yoga, rock climbing, running, and weightlifting, give him at least four additional hours of productivity each day.

Warren Buffett chooses exercise over diet.

The billionaire loves his hamburgers, hot dogs, and Coca-Cola.

To avoid a change in diet as suggested to him by doctors, he chose to exercise instead, the "lesser of the two evils,"he told CNBC.

At the ripe old age of 25, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel already has a net worth of $1.5 billion, making him the youngest billionaire in the world, according to Forbes.

When Snapchat first launched, it was primarily seen as a sexting app, an idea re-enforced by a bout of horrendous emails obtained by ValleyWag from Spiegel's college days, which made him look like a sexist jerk. 

Today, though, the app is catching the attention of big time advertisers and Spiegel himself has matured as well. 

Former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo called him "one of the best product thinkers out there." Here are a few of Spiegel's quotes that prove him to have grown past his frat boy days into a respected executive:

On not selling to Facebook: "There are very few people in the world who get to build a business like this. I think trading that for some short-term gain isn’t very interesting.”

On social media being truly social: "Somewhere along the way, when we were building social media products, we forgot the reason we like to communicate with our friends is because it's fun."

On not giving up before Snapchat: "We would experiment and fail. We must have attempted nearly 34 projects."

Companies draw a lot of attention when they change their logo in drastic ways.

Logo updates don't have to be a complete rebranding, though. Sometimes they are something as small as changing the spacing between letters or switching up some colors.

Can you spot how these tech companies changed their logos?

We'll start with something easy. Snapchat's original logo is named Ghostface Chillah. The name was inspired by Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan.

In 2013, Snapchat gave Ghostface Chillah a makeover. Can you spot the difference?

Yep. Ghostface Chillah lost his face.

The market for food apps is exploding.

Every day it seems like there's another mobile app that can deliver your next meal or get your groceries. And with meal-delivery apps like Blue Apron raising millions of dollars in funding, expect the new industry to only get more crowded.

The thing about these food related apps is that they can actually be quite useful. You just have to know which ones to try.

From finding the best restaurants to getting your groceries delivered to your doorstep, here are the best food apps.

SEE ALSO: The surprising reason why all your food apps are red

For finding restaurants to visit: Yelp

Yelp is a fantastic app for finding new places to eat. It's especially helpful if you're traveling and don't know the area.

The "Nearby" section of the app breaks places down into different categories, like coffee shops and bars. The search field is what you'll use the most for finding places you want to go, and you can sort results in a list or map view to get your bearings.

Yelp reviewers are what really set the service apart. You can see a place's aggregate rating along with reviews from other Yelp users who have visited. Photos and occasionally videos that people have posted there are also available, which is helpful for determining if the food looks good or not.

You can also get directions, call, see a menu, and even make a reservation at most places. A lot of people use Yelp just for quickly finding restaurants, but you can also use the app to bookmark places you like and create a list of your favorite spots.

Yelp includes a lot more than just food — it's basically a modern day phone book. So stay on the look out for deals you can sometimes get for checking in at a place and leaving a review.

Available on: iPhone and Android

Another great discovery app: Foursquare

While it's nowhere near as popular as it was in its heyday, Foursquare has still managed to improve its app and maintain a dedicated following.

Yelp shows more kinds of places, but Foursquare prioritizes food and entertainment quite well. You can filter your searches but things like price and distance, and the app will send you a notification if you're near a place you have saved to your favorites.

Foursquare's secret sauce is how it learns from what you like. You tell the app what kinds of food you like (Indian, sushi, etc.), and you can sort new places based on that information.

Beyond that, Foursquare's network of "tips" from other users can be quite useful when traveling.

Available on:iPhone and Android

For making a reservation: OpenTable

OpenTable is the go-to service for booking a restaurant reservation. It integrates with a ton of other platform, like Apple's Siri, and is straightforward to use.

It works with thousands of different restaurants around the world, and it's a must-have app for anyone who eats out semi-regularly.

During the Revolutionary War, Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere were among the people who created stunning pieces of art that inspired the fight for America's independence.

These intricate pieces of propaganda were printed in papers and pamphlets, and delivered throughout the colonies. These images were a patriotic call to arms and the sentiments conveyed in them inspired other wartime art generations later.

This post is originally by Laura Stampler

This parchment was used to call American patriots to arms as the war heated up.

Benjamin Franklin drew this now-famous cartoon of a disjointed snake in 1754 — telling fragmented colonies that if they didn't join the fight, they would perish.

Franklin also designed this print as a part of his campaign to get the Stamp Act repealed.

ATHENS, Greece — Europe's rebel economy has been in a state of limbo since Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras shocked the world by calling a referendum on its bailout deal.

Greece goes to the polls on Sunday. A "Yes" vote means approving the bailout deal offered by the country's European creditors — though it's not even clear that's still on offer since Greece's existing assistance programme ended on June 30.

A "No" vote means turning it down. The government says that would help them in negotiations, but the opposition says it would effectively confirm Greece's exit from the euro, a so-called Grexit.

The country has been in a strange state for the last week. Much of the country's normal activity goes on, but there are ATM queues in the background, along with increasingly divided campaigns for and against the bailout, and tension on all sides about what's coming next.

Scroll down to see what it's been like on the ground in Athens.

When I arrived on Sunday, the queues were particularly long, even late at night (this picture was taken after midnight). People seemed on-edge.

But the lines have reduced during the week — short queues are often visible, but rarely with more than 20 or so people, at least in Athens.

The capital controls in place meant people couldn't withdraw more than €60 per day.

Uber may be losing boatloads of money, but that hasn't stopped a stampede of investors from trying to get a piece of the ride-hailing company.

The 5-year-old company is valued at $41 billion, although that could spike to $50 billion with a $1 billion investment round reportedly coming to a close soon.

Some of Uber's early investors are about to become the "Uber Rich,"as Fortune calls them, but aren't traditional venture capitalists who invest for a living. As it turns out, a lot of Uber's investors are actually CEOs and celebrities.
