Eat Well on the Go

Do you find it hard to keep up a healthy diet when you are running from place to place trying to get everything done in your busy life? It can be tricky especially when there are so many quick and convenient options out there. It makes it easy to grab a double mocha and a apple fritter to give you the quick surge of energy to keep you going through your busy day. But how do you feel a few hours later when the sugar and the caffeine wear off and you have stopped running and rushing through your day. You get in your car to drive home and maybe feel irritated with the traffic, anxious to get home and sit in front of the tv or so starving that you decide to get some more convenient food at the drive through window. You sit down in front of your tv, have your dinner and then zombie out to the news around the world (recreating stress in your body) or a show that makes you laugh (not such a bad thing) or you just keep flicking and flicking...

The next morning you have to drag yourself out of bed to the coffee machine so you can do it all again. I am trying to put this out with some humour and awareness. If this is you or part of this is you, do you see the changes you could make in your life to give you more energy and less stress throughout your day and life?

Even making some simple changes will help huge. The first change I want to give to you is breakfast. Yes it is the most important meal of the day, it fills up your tank and provides you with long lasting energy. The right breakfast anyway. You wouldn't get in your car for an eight hour trip with an empty tank of gas after all. So why get your body going for an 8 or longer hour work day on empty?

When deciding what to have for breakfast make sure you get some sort of protein. This can be nuts and seed on your cereal or oatmeal, eggs or almond butter with your toast, plain yogurt with granola or something less traditional like veggies and fish.

Getting protein in the morning will help to stabilize your blood sugar and give you long lasting energy. I hope that helps to get you fueled for your day!
