Easy All Day Snacking
Snacking all day long is better for your metabolism than eating one big meal.
Something like this, is not only easy to prep, but easy to eat throughout the day (The night before.....) Cut up some fresh fruit. Berries.,sliced banana, apple, mandarins, and kiwi and stored it in tupperware Bring a hard boiled egg On whole wheat multigrain bread, spread natural peanut butter and reduced sugar jelly Keep in a bag, and an ice pack to keep cool throughout the day. Eat the egg first to avoid spoiling |
WEEKLY MEAL PREPPING
While I love to cook, I don't always feel like, or even have time to make healthy meals all the time. I dedicate Sundays to getting mos of the work out of the way for the rest of my week
Grill 2-3 chicken breasts on med/high heat 8-10 min on each side until fully cooked (refrigerating can dry out chicken, I reccommend grilling 2 pieces at a time maybe 2x week) Look up my healthy muffin recipes, makes for an easy post/pre workout snack or a breakfast option Boil some wild rice and/or quinoa Steam vegetables, and slice up some fruit like cucumber or watermelon to be able to add to salads or snack on |
