And the truth is, it&#8217;s not always easy. But there are some steps you can take to help when on the road or eating out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Prep like a boss ????????\u200d????<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you follow me on social media or you use The Body Coach App, you won&#8217;t be surprised that this one is top of the list.<\/p>\n<p>Preparation is key when it comes to eating well and good organisation in the kitchen is essential to fuelling your body and burning fat. It&#8217;s time to ditch those ready-made sandwiches, meal deals and pasta pots. Healthy, home-made nutritious meals that are high in protein and healthy fats are going to be much better fuel for your body, so let&#8217;s get cooking.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Top tip: Up your meal prep game and stock up on plenty of food containers to hold all your tasty, home-made meals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. Snacks ????<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Snacking is often where people go wrong when it comes to eating good food on the go. If you&#8217;re running around and you&#8217;ve had a busy day, it&#8217;s easy to grab a muffin from the coffee shop or raid the vending machine for a bar of chocolate for a quick energy fix. So my advice is to eat three nutritious, filling and healthy meals each day, which will reduce the urge to snack.<\/p>\n<p>But when your energy levels are low and you do need something to keep you going, try some of these healthier snack alternatives to keep you on track for a win:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Handful of nuts<\/li>\n<li>An apple, banana or a handful of fresh berries<\/li>\n<li>Half an avocado<\/li>\n<li>Greek yoghurt<\/li>\n<li>One of the amazing snack recipes from The Body Coach App<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Don&#8217;t skip meals \u23f0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Try not to skip meals throughout the day. Even when I haven&#8217;t prepped, I always aim to eat three nutritious meals and a couple of small snacks if I need them. Eating plenty of good food will keep your body fuelled throughout the day and it will also prevent you from snacking on junk, fast foods. You&#8217;ll also be less likely to raid the cupboards in the evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Winging it ????<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we get so busy that we don&#8217;t get a chance to prep or we simply forget to grab our lunch out of the fridge. But there&#8217;s always a healthier option when you&#8217;re on the go or eating out.<\/p>\n<p>Choose something with lean protein to keep you full like grilled chicken, steak, fish or tofu with a big salad or leafy greens. If I&#8217;ve smashed a workout, I&#8217;ll add carbs to help top up my energy levels. If I haven&#8217;t trained, I reduce the carbs and go for healthy fats. Try to avoid processed foods and aim for healthy, whole foods that will keep you feeling full and satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few healthier options you can grab on the go at most supermarkets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ready-to-eat protein: boiled eggs, cooked chicken breast, smoked salmon, tinned tuna, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Healthy fats: nuts, cheese, avocado, seeds<\/li>\n<li>Carbs: packet rice or grains, wholemeal roll<\/li>\n<li>Snacks: fruit, rice cakes, Greek yoghurt, carrots and houmous<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>5. Hydration ????<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I always talk about drinking plenty of water, but it really is one of the easy wins for a healthier, leaner body. When you consume the correct amount of water for your body, some of the key benefits include; healthier skin, healthier teeth and bones, improved digestion and increased fat metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>I try to carry a water bottle with me at all times to remind me to stay hydrated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Don&#8217;t give yourself a hard time ????<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you do have a day where you struggle to hit your food goals or you don&#8217;t manage to workout, don&#8217;t worry about it. We all have those days. Tomorrow is a new day to get back in control. So smash your HIIT session, prep your lunch like a boss and get back on it.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got this!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something I get asked a lot is how to eat healthily on the go.
