I have no time, help me eat well!

Quick tips & tricks:

When running around all day:

  • Notice what you are passing
    • If on foot or in car, are you passing by drug stores, grocery stores, quick bite places?
      • Examples:
                 -CVS:
                                           -healthy protein bars (RX, KIND)
                                           -crackers and hummus 
                                           -healthy drink options (sometimes!)
                                           -GFB (these kept my energy up on my wedding day!)

                                 -Grocery: lots of on the go greats. 
                                           -Fruit to grab and go, along with a bag of raw almonds or walnuts 
                                                 -Pre-cooked chicken strips (read the label first, though!
                                              How much sodium? Other added ingredients you can’t pronounce?)
                                                 -Crispy chickpea or fava bean snacks
                                                 -Protein shake like Koia or Owyn
                                                 -RX Bar, other similar ‘high protein, real ingredient’ bars
                                                 ​-hard-boiled eggs and mustard
                                                 -if there’s a Wegmans, check out their food bar offerings
  • Quick bite stops
    • Salad shops: Just Salad, Saladworks, Sweet Green, Panera
      • Be careful when ordering a salad. Dressings are calorie bombs! Order on the side and use just what you need. 
      • Are they adding a lot of salt? Is your protein choice fried? Cheese poured over top? Note these pieces, what can you change? Grilled protein or plain (ala hard-boiled egg). Avocado instead of cheese. 
    • If you feel desperate and go to a stereotypical ‘fast food’ spot, what are your healthy options? Way more possibilities than a decade ago I assure you. Best options? No. But better than a Big Mac! 
      • Good Housekeeping has a helpful article on this very situation. Again, not as good choices as fresh, whole foods, but better than some alternatives!
General helpers:
  • Always read labels
  • Go for higher protein for a smart energy booster and greater satiety
  • Keep up water intake- not only is it just generally ‘good for us’, it helps with hunger cues and energy levels
  • Don’t let yourself get ‘hangry’! Keep snacks on hand
