No time to eat... What to do?

These past few weeks have been a crazy whirlwind of busyness. Forget about Christmas; moving and finishing a new house has been all consuming, leaving little time to prepare healthful meals for my family and myself. So, what do you do when you are too busy to eat and prepare healthful foods?   Having a plan in place takes some prep time, but will save time overall. Take a couple of hours one or two days a week to cook lean protein and store in the refrigerator for later. Cut up veggies and fruits and put them in containers to quickly grab and go or add to a salad. Have some healthy snacks in your pantry and your car so when hunger strikes, you don't grab the easiest, not-so-healthy food. I like to bag up nuts, and have fresh fruit and protein bars on hand all the time. Frozen nut butter balls are also a favorite of mine. It's important to always have water with you. It's easy to mistake thirst for hunger sometimes. 

This may be easier said than done, but if you can think ahead and plan a little bit, it will definitely be worth the time spent. 

Be prepared and be well!
