I am very much in to healthy whole food eating. But if I don't plan some meals.. Especially lunches I grab easy things like nuts or a green juice.. not enough to keep this body going!
something I started a few weeks ago on Monday was what I call marathon cooking. I make up a couple of high protein desserts and snacks , a couple of easy things for a few lunches and dinner with enough leftovers for the next days dinner or more lunches. A couple hours in the kitchen and solid healthy food for days! While things are in baking/cooking mode I use that down time to organize patterns , work a simple project or promote/check social media. Don't let ok at it as, yuck 2 hours of cooking .. I look at it as 2 productive hours of multitasking.

Today's marathon cooking consisted of,, simple egg salad that we like put on a low carb wrap with spinach.
Huge Baked sweet potatoes which I'll cut in half and eat for lunch or a snack with butter and goat cheese mashed up! Super yum!
A huge pot of turkey chili ,, heavy on the bell peppers! For dinner tonight and probably tomorrow night.
Some high protein low carb muffins for great snacks to keep the body going!
And some high protein low carb truffles for desserts or a quick pick me up through the day.. ok.. I make those pretty much every day! They are so quick!
This will last me and the husband probably until Thursday for lunches and snacks.. the truffles will be gone tonight though😊
Planning meals has been a huge part of healing my wrecked digestive system, keeping my energy levels up and keeping my blood sugar balanced ... as well as maintaining a healthier weight than I was. At 43 even a few pounds extra slows me down!
This is just a little share that's helped me tremendously to eat better!! I hope it helps you if you're struggling.. eating well balanced and healthy has been a big challenge for me the last few years!
But I'm getting a good handle on it! Like anything else planning and organizing makes all the difference!
How else can I keep up with these guys if I don't eat right?
