MEALS ON THE GO
When it comes to creating healthy habits, learning to adapt while on the go is an important lesson to learn! Here are our top tips for keeping your nutrition in check while out and about.
Create a Menu
Keep it simple and in moderation to fit your needs. Generally, meals should include one serving of a protein, a vegetable and a complex carbohydrate. You should also opt for healthy snacks such as fruit that contain some protein, carbohydrates or healthy fat to help you feel full. Once you’ve picked your meals and snacks, build a grocery list based on your menu.
Designate Meal Prep Days
Most people prefer to prep their meals on the weekend but that might not work for your lifestyle. Look at your schedule the week before and decide which days will work best for the upcoming week.
Shop Your List
Since you already created your menu, all you have to do is find the ingredients on your list. This will help prevent you from purchasing unnecessary items that may not be the best choices.
Prep Your Meals
Don’t worry; you don’t have to prep all your meals in one day. Sometimes that can be overwhelming and time consuming if you’re not used to the routine. Instead, pick a couple days to cook and prep enough meals and snacks for 2-3 days each week.
If you are short on time or would rather not meal prep altogether, you can cook multiple batches and freeze your meals for hectic days.
Pack and Store
Proper storage containers can be your best friend. They come in various shapes, sizes and materials — some are stackable (to save room) or have sectioned-off containers (for portions) or are freezer-friendly for easy storage. Sandwich bags are also a great option for on-the-go snacks.
