Not Gourmet, Just Good Fuel!

Lots of you have been asking me about what I eat for lunch because you have had trouble eating healthy while on the go.  This can be an issue if you are not prepared, so a key to eating healthy is to always be prepared.  Here is what I do...

1.  Pack a small cooler and take it everywhere.  I keep it packed with sparkling water, almonds, lunch meat (the in-house roasted turkey from HEB or Whole Foods), veggies, and/or fruit.

2.  Always cook extra, then you can have left-overs for lunch.

3.  When I do not have left-overs and/or I need a quick lunch I pack about 1 cup of Sunburst Tomatoes (they are YUMMY!), 3 oz. of turkey, 2 cups of chopped broccoli with close to a tablespoon of vinaigrette,  and a small package of organic carrots.  The turkey is my protein, the veggies are my carbs, and the vinaigrette is my fat. (If I am still hungry I add 3-6 almonds and drink more water.)

I love good food as much as the next gal, but I have learned that my meals do not always have to be gourmet, it just has to be good FUEL!
