When you run a business, meals can become an afterthought. A little planning goes a long way. This is general information, not medical advice. For personal guidance, speak with a doctor or registered dietitian.
Plan once a week
Spend 30 minutes choosing a few simple meals for the week and writing a shopping list. Having a plan reduces last-minute choices.
Build a balanced plate
Aim to include vegetables, a protein source, a whole grain or starchy food and some healthy fats. You do not need to be perfect.
Prepare in batches
Cook a larger portion of rice, beans or roasted vegetables and use it in several meals.
Keep easy options at hand
Fruit, nuts, yogurt, boiled eggs and ready-to-cook vegetables make quick snacks and sides.
Drink water
Keep a bottle on your desk and refill it through the day.
Eat regularly
Skipping meals can lead to overeating later. Try to eat at regular times.
Think about your sleep and movement
Food is only one part of well-being. Sleep and daily movement matter too.
A note on supplements
Food comes first. If you are considering supplements, ask your doctor first, read the label and buy from official sources. Be careful with promises that a product will treat a condition.
