Who Says "Convenience Foods" Can't be Healthy?
Let's face it, when it comes to healthy eating, though we mean well- we all fall off the wagon every once in a while. We are only HUMAN and it's OKAY! Life gets messy and things get in the way of our great intentions and motivation to make good food choices.
Plus, you owe it to yourself to splurge every once in a while! I sure do!
When it comes to fueling your body with the proper nutrition, the best way to stay on track is to PLAN and PREPARE.
I know.... it's kind of inconvenient to cook a bunch of food all at once. But, the ONE day of INconvenience makes for a whole week of sheer convenience!!!
3 EASY STEPS to HEALTHY "Convenience Foods" at your finger tips.
1. Buy glass or plastic tupperware- (I'm sure you probably already have some)
2. Choose a protein, carb and fat source (enough of each to get you through the week) and cook everything all at once!
chicken, lean beef, ground turkey, etc... You can bake it, grill it, or use the crock pot.
mixed veggies, brown rice, sweet potato, oats, blue corn tortillas, quinoa, etc
almonds, eggs (yolk), avocado, coconut oil, olive oil
3. distribute your food into the tupperware into portions that fit with your caloric intake and macronutrient distribution.
Mine is as follows;
4oz meat
1/2c starch- sweet potato or brown rice, 1c steamed veggies
1/4 cup almonds, 1/4 c avocado....etc.
To keep your body fueled and avoid insulin spikes it's a great idea to eat small balanced meals every 3 to 4 hours.
