Prevent making the mistake of skipping a meal or going for the quick unhealthy fix.
"PLAN AHEAD!"
With healthier options within reach you are less likely to make poor nutritional choices.
Here are some smart snack ideas: *Sliced Apples, *Baby carrots, Low Fat Yogurt, *Fruit Salad, Cucumber slices, Raisins, Cherry Tomatoes, **Natural peanut butter on celery, Rice cake w/ light cream cheese, Bell pepper strips, **Rice Cake w/ apple butter, **Bananna w/ Natural peanut butter, Trail mix(1oz), Pretzels.....Just to name a few.
*Most grocery stores have prepackaged precut fruits & vegetables to make it even easier. If you cut your own fresh fruit squeeze some lime juice on it to keep it from turning brown quickly.
**Pay attention to serving size
For everyone who is just TOO BUSY! (anyone not too busy I expect to hear from you so that the rest of us can follow your incredible time management skills!)
***As I was saying, for help during your busy week, Make your Meals on Sunday for the week. A small investment in those 3 compartment tupperware containers will go a Long Way! You can pre-make your breakfast and lunch get up and go....NO WORRIES!
As for dinner, before you go grocery shopping look over a few recipes and add what you need to your list. On Sunday make a few dinners be sure to make extra because your going to split it up into portions and freeze them. (Depending on how much Freezer space you have or how much you make you can have up to 2 weeks or more of dinners!) Imagine it now, you come home from a long day and all you need to do is open your freezer and choose from what is already made and throw it in the oven (don't actually throw it in the oven b/c that would make a big mess and would defeat the purpose of time saving.)
This does not mean that you have to spend the entire day in the kitchen to prepare for the week. You have other things to do on the weekends because of the busy week that you have, such as clean the house or do gardening, Etc. There is this crazy thing called multi-tasking some have mastered it, some are working on it. If you haven't yet mastered it try, try again eventually you'll get it. And when you do it will Feel and Taste Soooooo GOOOOD, LITERALLY!
***You can take the short cut and buy the frozen meals in your grocery store freezer but before you do check out the salt content and other nutritional values. Chances are it will not be as nutrional as what you make.....it Never is!
Remember making these small lifestyle changes are not going to be easy, but once you do it repetitively it's no longer a lifestyle change It's A Way Of Life!
