If you find yourself on the move and don't have time for a healthy meal then think again! Oftentimes I hear the excuse of eating fast food because it's quick and easy. I beg to differ! Oftentimes we are starving and we find the quickest option to suffice our craving. If this sounds too familiar, then it's important to plan ahead and nourish your body every 3-4 hours.
Prepare to slash your hunger by selecting food options that you can pack in your car, at your desk or in your workbag. There are a ton of options- Select something that is low in sugar, high in fiber and around 200 calories. Staples in my travel bag include a Lara Bar, Almonds, a piece of fruit and a water bottle.
When we are dehydrated, we also "feel" hungrier and are tempted to eat more then our body actually needs. Always include a tall glass of water with your snack, and do your best to drink some before, during and after to ensure you drink the entire glass! The water will not only fill you up but also hydrate your body and help you to be more alert throughout the day.
What are your healthy food staples that help keep you energized?
