In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to fall into the habit of convenience eating—think microwavable meals with hard-to-pronounce ingredients, fast food on the go, and calorie-heavy takeout. And during especially stressful times like the COVID pandemic, nutrition can easily slide down the priority list. But even in challenging seasons, small, intentional choices can make a big impact.
Eat Better Now with Simple Tweaks
Snack Smart:Trade the chips and candy bars for something more nutrient-dense. Reach for a piece of fruit, raw veggies with hummus, a handful of nuts, or a boiled egg. These small swaps can help you stay full, energized, and satisfied.
Keep the Junk Out:Temptation is easier to avoid when it’s not in your pantry. If others in your home love their snacks, ask them to enjoy those outside the house to help you stay focused on your goals.
Cook at Home:Preparing your own meals means you control the ingredients—especially things like sugar, sodium, and oils. Bonus: it often costs less than dining out and brings mindfulness back into mealtime.
Build a Sustainable Nutrition Plan
Eat When You’re Truly Hungry:Sounds obvious, but many people eat out of boredom, habit, or emotion. Pay attention to your body’s cues and try not to eat just because “it’s time.”
Focus on a Plant-Forward Plate:You don’t have to go fully vegetarian to benefit from more plants in your diet. Fill your plate with fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. If you enjoy meat, try making it a side dish rather than the main event.
Seek Professional Nutritional Support:With so many diets out there—keto, paleo, vegan, intermittent fasting—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
