As our days get busier and longer, it gets harder and harder to eat healthy, to have time to prepare healthy meals and to be mindful of what we eat. There are a few simple tips that can be utilised by anyone to negate all of the potential negative outcomes that come with the lack of food prep (I briefly did a HOW TO on meal prepping on a budget here) but the requirement of this is planning and consistency. We will discuss this again in another post.
Assuming that you already practise this, today’s post is looking at what I eat for a day. Of course, if this is something you don’t do, I’d love to cover it in future posts. Let me know if this is something you want to see!
Here is the breakdown of a typical meal day for me. Obviously, things can change depending on a variety of things, like seasonal pairings of fruit and vegetables, weekend meal dates and catchups with friends etc, but for the most part I will stick to this way of eating as a base. Because I meal prep, I always have frozen grilled chicken in my freezer, and can use it for a variety of different dinners. If you’d like to see other recipe options in future posts, leave a comment below!
