No time to eat healthy

Kim Raubenheimer - Monday, November 30, 2009
I often hear, "I don't have time to eat healthy".  Planning.  If healthy eating is a priority, then set aside time on the weekend to plan for your week of healthy eating. 

-Make a list of staples for your pantry and freezer.
-Whole grains (pastas, rice, crackers), lean proteins, vegetables, fruits (fresh and frozen), low fat dairy.
-Buy veggies and fruits in season.   And frozen ones to have on hand.
-Set aside a day on the weekend to cook and prep.  Plan for a couple meals.
-Roast a chicken, beef, pork loin or turkey.  You will have enough for a meal and leftovers for
stir fry, soups, fajitas, tacos, sandwiches and more. 
-Chop up fruits and vegetables to have on hand for snacks and to throw into your soup, or meal.
-Make up some breakfast burritos and freeze them.
-Make an extra batch of whole grain berry or banana pancakes or waffles or muffins and freeze them.
-Boil some eggs to have during the week.
- Have low-fat dairy single serve portions ready for grab and go.

If you plan for healthy eating it makes it easier than not being prepared and stopping off at the fast food drive thru.
