Eating healthy is impossible!!!

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to eat healthy. I am trying not to skip meals and eat smaller portions and eat healthy snacks to keep my metabolism going but I'm always out and busy and never home. I am luckily to be able to squeeze time for working out in the morning by getting up early. I'm basically only eating dinner and a snack a day.

Bring a lunchbox with you. My mom is a nurse (and works 12 hr shifts) she brings a lunchbox/cooler pack with a lean cuisine, fruit, string cheese, and air popped popcorn.

I'm assuming that you carry some type of purse or book bag, so put the lunchbox in there (or just carry it) and you can get all your meals in.

If you have to get up 30 mins earlier to fit breakfast in, then do that. Then bring lunch and 2 snacks with you and have dinner when you get home.

*Tip: whatever you do make, make sure its loaded with protein, fiber, and carbs (healthy carbs). These 3 things will keep you fuller longer and keep your energy up*

Plan what you eat and when you will eat it. This is key for me. Even on weekends, I still set my alarm for 6 am to eat in the morning, because if I don't, it throws off my entire day.
Also plan your meals before hand. I pretty much eat the same, healthy food every day. And cook your food and portion it out for the week, so you always have something prepared.

I did plan my plans. I planned a healthy 7 day menu plan but I am skipping meals bc I'm never home. It seems impossible. I dot wanna eat out bc even if I chose healthy options it will still probably be a bit bad for u. Thanks for your answer :)

Why are you always out? Is it your job?
Maybe you can take food with you and keep it somewhere at work.

Eat small light snacks throughout the day. Like a few nuts and berries or a bit if meat. 5 or 6 times a day instead of three solid meals.

Eat healthy but eat a lot of it but you also need to exercise for it to take effect.

Meal prep. If you start prepping all your meals, you can eat them in between work/school.
Never skip any meals since it will only slow down your metabolism. Best of luck!

Eating healthy is lame. Eat all the pizza and candy you can.

You need to eat 3 meals
