Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

How often does it happen in your life where you are “up against the clock” when it come to getting and preparing a good menu choice for your family? Here are a few tips to help you become more “Clock-wise.”

I’ll be the first to admit that there are plenty of times when doing the shopping — and then putting together a good healthy meal seems like a luxury that I just can’t afford — and it’s usually because I’ve run out of time to put it all together. It would be a whole lot simpler if I just order something from the Chinese restaurant, or just stop and grab a quick sandwich or something fast and non-nutritious.

However, besides knowing that this is a cop-out of sorts, I’ve also learned that if I plan ahead and prepare for those days when time is a factor, I’ll end up with a lot less stress in my life.

There are those surprises, though — when things come up that you weren’t prepared for. Perhaps these time-savers will help you — and me!

1. One of my favorites is to cook a larger quantity of food than would be eaten at one meal and freeze the leftovers. Then, on those days when I don’t have much time, just reheat them. This is great, especially if it’s something you really like.

2. Keep a bag of salad greens on hand. Just wash them good before you put them into the salad crisper compartment and you can have a nice salad ready in a couple of minutes.

3. Chop up some fresh veggies on the weekend so they’ll be ready during the week.

4. Have some foods around that don’t require a lot of work. I’m thinking of canned tuna or canned salmon as an example. Having some low-fat yogurt is another good one to have around. Have some previously cut-up fresh fruit to go with the yogurt and you have a nice small meal. Canned soups are also handy.

5. Remember to have some nuts or some low-fat cheese handy for when you need a snack.

6. If you do have to make a restaurant stop rather than preparing a meal yourself, bring home half of it (which is usually all you should eat at once anyway) and you have a meal ready to go for later in the week.

7. Don’t forget that if you’re on a tight schedule for when you get home — and you won’t get a chance to take that walk or go for that bike ride later, to take a good brisk walk at lunchtime. Good exercise is also a part of good health and nutrition.

8. Sometimes, especially if your time crunch is going to happen at dinner-time, it’s okay to eat your dinner in the middle of the day and just have a light lunch-type meal at dinner time.
