Habits for Healthy Eating
1. Healthy/Nutritious Breakfast
Eggs/Egg Bites (Pinterest Recipe)
Omelette with veggies (add lean protein if you feel like it – chicken breast, turkey
sausage, etc.)
Smoothies/Protein Shakes
Greek Yogurt w/ Fruit (berries) and protein granola
- Tip: If you can prep ahead and reheat or package ahead for grab and go – do it right away
upon return from grocery store.
2. Drink Water ALL DAY
Invest in a good reusable water bottle
Utilize a water app if you forget to drink frequently
Use a water bottle that measures the ounces you drink per day
3. Make It EASY
Prep or buy prepackaged serving sizes of veggies & fruit, cheese sticks, etc.
Use disposable/throw away containers if necessary (tin foil pans or take out
containers).
4. Prep healthy lunches and snacks
Use dinner left overs from previous night’s healthy dinner for lunch
Meal prep containers for lunches
Cut up fruits and put into grab and go Tupperware
5. Veggies, veggies, veggies & some fruit
6. Meal Prep & Plan (make a list) for shopping so you don’t over buy
If you are able to pre-prep dinners (do it)! I sometimes will prep multiple dinners for
the week in the tin, disposable baking dishes; or pre prep ingredients to put into a
crock pot.
Minimize dishes and prep time (one pot meals, pre cut veggies for upcoming meals).
7. Track your meals/foods in apps and use a fitness watch if you have them.
Myfitnesspal links with Garmin watches (may link with apple watches, Fitbit,
Whoop, Etc.)
ProTip: If this looks overwhelming, start with one item on the list! When that becomes a habit,
pick another item to work on. If it feels overwhelming, you won’t start at all! Small steps create
lasting habits. Remember it is a lifestyle, NOT a diet!
