Wait. Wait. I know you are hungry and you claim to not have enough time to eat so you grab the first thing you see- a Pop Tart. Pause. Rewind. Now let's make time to make better choices. Here's how....
Remember this, breakfast; if you break the word down, means to break-fast. From the time you go to sleep at night to the time you wake up in the morning your body is fasting. So if you get a full eight hours of sleep in, that means you were fasting for a full eight hours. Your metabolism slows down and your body is starving for food when you wake up in the morning. Rather you feel hungry or not, you need the calories and nutrients. This all leads to the age-old saying: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So eat something for crying out loud. Good choices to grab and eat on the run?- a piece of fruit
- granola bar
- rice cake with peanut butter
- protein bar
- protein drink

Try prepping your meals for the week. Ex: Take Sunday for instance and bake a bag of chicken breasts. You now have a protein source for the week. You did some healthy shopping at the grocery store right ;) so all you need to do is select some of those healthy sides to put with your chicken as shown in the photo of my lunch bag. You can also have fish, pork, turkey, or whatever you like for protein.
Use your fruits and veggies for between-meal snacks. Try to hit all the major food groups every day. I pack the sides of my lunch bag with fruits as snacks because the rigors of my job do not allow me to eat full meals at my desk. There you have it my friends.
Quick Recap:
1. Buy the right foods
2. Prep your meals for the week on one given "prep day."
3. Eat some break-fast (the most import meal)
4. Pack your lunch per to the rigors of your schedule
5. Eat well. Live well
As always, thank you for your time and for putting your health first.
