Breakfast is a great way to start your day. You will be more likely to consistently continue to fuel throughout the day when you eat something at the beginning of the day. If you skip breakfast to save up for other meals you may want to rethink this thought as skipping breakfast often results in feeling cranky, not being able to concentrate and not to mention that your body wants you to make up for the missed meal at lunch or another time during the day. If you are not hungry right when you wake up, pack up some granola bars, fruit… to go! Or make a quick breakfast in a mug.

Convenience foods can be really helpful because they make cooking a little easier and it cuts down on prep time. Some examples of convenience foods would be salad in a bag, shredded carrots, rotisserie chicken, frozen fruits, and lots of other options that can make things just a little easier in the kitchen!

Myth of eating after 7pm

If you ever wondered if you are supposed to or not supposed to eat after 7 PM, the short answer is yes! You can, and should, eat after 7 PM. Something to consider about this “rule” is that your stomach does not shut off after a certain time of day and the clock does not know whether you are hungry or not.
