Plan ahead
Understanding that making better food choices today will give you years later doesn’t change the fact that, right now, your schedule is busy. Sometimes you get fast food because you have no other options. But that’s only the case if you didn’t pack your own food. So do some planning. Pick a day in your week that isn’t too chaotic. Do your meal planning. If you have to be on the go a lot, make portable foods that can be eaten cold and transported in a lunch box or cooler. If it’s dinner that gets you, make a large batch of something healthy in advance and freeze/store the leftovers for reheating when you have a busy night. Do future you a favor – the one who wants nothing to do with a pot or a stove late nights during the week – and make something in a big batch ahead of time.
