Meals / Snack to eat on the go

If you have a crock pot get it out and start using it for evening meals. Try a website called Skinny Taste and you will find some amazing recipes. As for lunch, I work weird hours so I have started fixing myself sandwiches when I know I wont be home. I love the Sandwich Thins along with some of the thin sliced lean meats and some Kraft 2% cheese. Take along some fresh fruit.

As for breakfast, you can try the bagel thins and some light cream cheese or microwavable oatmeal. You could also take some time in the evening to fix yourself a breakfast that you can just pop in the microwave in the morning.

Hope some of this helps

I just looked in my purse - I never leave home without a Quaker Oats Chewy Granola Bar and a bag of trail mix.

Take soup with you in a thermos, it's yummy and comforting in winter.

My husband never used to eat in the morning because he didn't have time, or whatever. So I started making big batches of breakfast burritos, whatever fillings you like, whatever tortillas you like, roll them up, wrap in saran wrap, freeze and stick in a big freezer zip lock bag. It's so quick to microwave in the morning while you are getting ready and if you don't have time to eat it, well.. it's portable. Plus, if you are like us and fill them with protein, you will stay satiated for quite a while.

Healthy protein bars
Homemade trail mix
Raisins
Baby carrots
Protein shakes (you can get water anywhere, all you need is a shaker bottle)
Apples
Oranges
Hazelnuts
Brown rice and black beans
Turkey slices

I make anything a snack though. It's all about the portion and the nutrition factor.

I work three days a week from 8am-5pm (or later) with a looong commute (1.5 hours each way), and then I hit the gym when I get home, so in order to eat healthily, I rely on bringing enough good food to keep me full all day. Here are some of my strategies and go-to's:

-simple but nutritious breakfast that I can prepare and eat quickly or eat without mess in the car. I tend to eat whole-wheat waffles + peanut butter and fruit, simple fried egg and cheese on an english muffin with fruit, or oatmeal with almonds and dried cranberries that I microwave with milk...1.5 minutes and you are good to go! I also make a batch of muffins once every couple of months and freeze them individually wrapped...then if I am really pressed for time I throw one in the microwave for 30 seconds, grab a string cheese and a piece of fruit and I am out the door.

-I always pack a lunch of simple stuff that keeps well. Pack it the night before and just throw it in a bag in the morning. I almost always eat a sandwich or a salad with chicken or tuna, cut-up raw veggies, fruit and yogurt. If you cook healthy dinners at night and have access to a microwave during the day, make extra and bring as leftovers...I especially like to do this with soups.

-always pack snacks! I keep something in my office, bag and car at all times. I like plain nuts, low-sugar high-protein granola bars, fruit (fresh and dried), raw veggies, string cheese, peanut butter crackers, a little something sweet for the afternoon when I need a little sugar jolt with my coffee

Hope some of these ideas work for you!
