By Lemon pepper wings (all flats), fried french fries with seasoned salt, and a sweet tea (no ice) equals one of my favorite meals. Yass LAWD! And, am I the only one who LOVES a chicken finger plate from Zaxby’s? And you can’t forget dessert! I love marble cake, with buttercream icing, it’s the best.
Pause. I’m about to loose my mind just writing this.
I know I’m not the only one who appreciates good food. But eating food like my favorites mention above will not get you in that sexy bikini this summer. It’s time for us to eat healthier, which means we have to eat smarter!
Here are a few ways you can eat smart throughout the day!
EAT SMART IN THE MORNING
Just like with most things, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But I know for me its the easiest meal to skip. The good thing is with so many different grab-and-go options, you can easily squeeze in breakfast, even if it’s a little bit later than most. You can grab a low-fat yogurt, a granola bar, fresh fruit, or all three!
- The Baddie Way: Keep some of those easy grab-and-go options at work. This will make breakfast not seem so daunting, because even if you miss breakfast, you’ll know you have something at your desk.
EAT SMART AT LUNCH
It’s probably the easiest to get off track with lunch, and eat to your heart’s content, especially if you’ve skipped breakfast. Think about it. You’ve been thinking about food since you got to work, and your boss has been working your nerves. This will make it easier to grab the closest comfort food you can find.
- The Baddie Way: Bring your lunch to work. Keep your options to a minimum, bring leftover spaghetti, or a turkey sandwich.
EAT SMART AT DINNER
Don’t call in a order for a pizza or Chinese takeout. Keep the salad fixings, frozen vegetables, and chicken breasts ready. You’ll always be able to make a quick meal in no time with these few items.
- The Baddie Way: Try to eat dinner at a reasonable time, like before 9 p.m. The earlier you eat dinner, the more likely you are to burn it off.
The best way to eat smart throughout the day is to plan. Take 10 minutes to make a weekly shopping list. The keyword is shopping list, don’t go with no list, or a half a list. Plan out what you want for the week, and make it happen!
