Personally, the biggest challenge when trying to eat healthy
is having good food ready and available when it’s time to eat. If I have
healthy foods ready to go, I usually choose to eat it. When I don’t, I usually
choose to eat crap!
The BEST way to ensure my success is to prep my food in
advance. For me this usually takes place on Sunday. I don’t eat the same thing
s every week, but here are a few easy go to foods:
Hard boiled eggs –
you can eat them alone or put in a chicken/tuna salad or on a salad.
Fruit – I buy
what is in season or use frozen fruit for smoothies.Veggies – you can cut them up and put them in little baggies. Add them to salad or eat with guacamole or hummus.
Chicken breasts -
again, easy added to other meals or fine by itself.
Here are some foods that you don’t have to prep, but are
great to have on hand.
Avocados – a great
healthy fat that can be added to a number of things
Almonds – another
good healthy fatRaw greens – I use spinach. Good for a side salad or to put in my smoothie.
Oatmeal – cheap and
easy
Almond Butter –
good shit!
For my local peeps, I always look at Lucky’s weekly deals. I
try to stick to the first page of the ad which is usually fruits, veggies and
meat. This is how my family picks the weekly menu.
Tip #2 Freeze Foods!
If something is on sale and you don’t need it right away, buy it and freeze it.
You can also make a larger amount of food and freeze the left overs. Then we
you are running low on food just put it in the fridge the night before and you
are ready to go.
Tip #3 Use Pinterest! You can find hundred of food prep ideas for all types of diets and meal plans.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Enjoy Life - Workout!
