Plan, plan, plan…
Have you ever heard the saying fail to plan, and you plan to fail? This can be very true when it comes to sticking to a clean eating plan. When was the last time you went to work, or school and didn’t pack a healthy lunch or snacks? What did you do when you got hungry? Common answers include grabbing something from the vending machine, cafeteria, grabbing something at a restaurant or simply not eating. If you are eating clean, you are probably eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The best way to stay on track is to make sure you prepare your meals in advance and pack a cooler EVERY DAY. This week my local supermarket had ground turkey and chicken on a buy 1 get 1 free sale, so I bought 12 pounds and made meatloaf, meatballs, chili and turkey muffins. They are all packed in individual servings in freezer bags. The night before, just take out the next days meals, throw some fresh or frozen fruit and veggies, fat free yogurt or cottage cheese in some tupperware, count out 15 or so almonds, and you’ve got your days food all set to go. I find this makes eating clean easy and convenient.
