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!
