4 Steps To Eating Healthier This Week:

Step 1: Create a menu for the week

Start by looking over your fridge, pantry, and freezer for items that can be used for dinner this week. Create a menu of a few breakfast options, lunches, snacks, and dinners for the week. Plan for a balance of easy quick meals. If you have a busy week skip the complicated gourmet dinners. There is no shame in grabbing a bagged salad and rotisserie chicken. Having a menu takes the stress and guesswork out of eating healthier.

Step 2: Make a shopping list

After creating a menu, make a list of the items you will need to execute your planned menu. Include options for healthy snacks, breakfast, and lunch. As a result, you will buy only what you need.

Step 3: Shop only for what you need

Purchase the items you need for the week and leave off extras that will create temptation. Stock your fridge with the ingredients you need to make healthy meals for the week. If you find it tempting to eat the whole package of certain items, it may be better to leave them off your list. This will keep you from being tempted to over eat high calorie snacks.

Step 4: Prep and portion

Prep and portion out easy to grab snacks and meals. Having grab-and-go items ready to go in your fridge makes staying on track simple. Wash and cut fruit, pre-cook proteins, and have grains already prepared. Use meal prep containers to store food in your fridge to make it easy to grab a healthy meal.

PREP IDEAS:

• Grill proteins
• Hard boil eggs
• Make smoothie packs and freeze them
• Precut fruit and veggies
• prepare large batches of rice and quinoa
• Prepare Turkey Meatballs
• Assemble Crockpot meals

Having food prepped ahead of time takes the guesswork out of healthy eating. If you have 90% of your meals planned or prepped staying on track is simple. Use these 4 steps to eat healthier this week.
