“I have NO time to eat healthy because I am way too busy! How do you make time to eat healthy when you are so busy?” My clients and people often ask me. As an extremely busy entrepreneur, and founder of a nonprofit, I totally understand where you must decide whether to invest your time into your health and ultimately your quality of life. Rather than letting eating healthy fall low on your priority list, with some proper planning, it will be a lot easier than you think, and become second nature.

Our health is our biggest asset, because without our health we cannot have the energy to complete our daily activities. With proper planning you can avoid become “Hangry”, which is the combining of being hungry and angry at the same time. When you are Hangry you may easily make poor eating choices. Add in being crunched for time, and most people choose a food item that is packed full of sugar, salt, fat, and most likely chocked full of processed ingredients. Consuming foods like that over time will add on extra pounds and inches to your waistline.

There is a saying that goes, “Failing to plan, is Planning to fail.” I’ve come up with 3 Strategies that help my clients and myself stay on track when it comes to eating healthy, around our busy  daily schedules:

 

  1. Use a grocery list: Choose a convenient time during the week, sit down and plan for your meals for a week or even a few days. Based on the planned meals, make your grocery list. This will make it easier when you visit the grocery store to stick to the list, and not have items not on the list “jump” into your shopping basket. You will save time, and money when grocery shopping. Need ideas for a grocery list visit fitbodysquad.com if you are not sure about where to begin and need an example.

You can also buy wild caught salmon, organic berries or grass fed beef. A rule of thumb when buying frozen is to select quality items and use coupons when available. You will be able to stock up on food items, save money, and have them readily available for your next meal.

  1. Do a Meal Prep Day: Select one to two days during the week, I use Sunday and Wednesday, when you can spend a few extra hours in the kitchen, cooking an preparing your meals ahead of time. You can bake several sweet potatoes, cooking your brown rice or preparing several portion of your lean protein. After everything is cooked, you can divide healthy portions into containers, and place into your refrigerator for easy access when you are hungry or traveling throughout your day.

All in all, do your best to choose healthy foods. Sometimes, when time doesn’t seem on your side, select healthy protein snacks to help balance your blood sugar so you don’t get “Hangry” or are starving by dinner.
