Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Trying to keep a balance between family, career and relaxation can be challenging. And that challenge extends to eating right, getting nutrition and eating healthy foods. Too often eating right falls to the bottom of the priority list. If you prepare in advance you can avoid slipping into unhealthy patterns.
When you're on the run with too many things to do and not enough time it can be very easy to fall into some bad eating habits. If you're not prepared, the drive-through lane at fast food restaurants seems like a quick and easy solution to the problem. Do a little planning when you have time to sit down and prepare for your grocery shopping and you can avoid most diet disasters.
Here's 6 great foods to always have on hand during the week:
Cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and yogurt - I like to mix cottage or ricotta cheese and yogurt together with chopped nuts and berries for a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon meal.
Salsa - Salsa can go a long way to liven up what might otherwise be a boring dish.
Black or kidney beans - Great low-fat source of antioxidants and protein. Extremely versatile and can be added to almost anything for a boost of flavor and nutrition.
Avocados - A great source of healthy fats, fiber, and other nutrients. Try adding them to wraps, salads, omelets or sandwiches.
Whole grain bread - Best to look for bread that has at least 3 to 4 grams of fiber per 20 grams of total carbohydrates.
Frozen vegetables - After the growing season is over and local fresh produce isn't around any more, frozen vegetables are the best option, since they often have higher nutritional value than the fresh produce that has been shipped thousands of miles, sitting around for weeks before making it to your dinner table.
