Why Summer Sidetracks Healthy Eating
From travel and barbecues to inconsistent routines, summer often throws a wrench in healthy eating. It's easy to skip meals or grab convenient but unhealthy options, which can leave you feeling drained and derail your fitness goals.
Quick and Easy Meals
-
Cook once, eat all week: Get ahead with meal prepping! Grill some chicken, roast a batch of veggies, or cook up some grains. This way, you'll have easy components ready to mix and match for meals throughout the week.
-
Fast breakfast: Don’t skip breakfast because of a busy day ahead. Prepare overnight oats, smoothies, or hard-boiled eggs with fruit in advance. This ensures you start your day fueled and nourished.
-
Cooling snacks: Reach for watermelon, cucumbers, or yogurt parfaits to beat the heat and stay hydrated.
On-the-Go Snacks
-
Boost energy with protein: Keep nuts, protein bars, or jerky handy. They're perfect for a quick energy pick-me-up.
-
Better than fast food: When you're in a rush, grab a wrap or salad kit from the grocery store instead of hitting the drive-thru.
-
Chill out with frozen treats: Frozen grapes, smoothie pops, or Greek yogurt are fantastic for cooling down on those scorching summer days.
Stay Hydrated and Nourished
-
Always carry water: Make it more appealing by adding lemon or berries.
-
Replenish electrolytes: After a workout, use electrolyte tabs or drink coconut water to rehydrate.
-
Eat your water: Foods like watermelon, grapes, and cucumbers are full of water and contribute to your hydration.
