Guest Post: Eating Healthy On A Busy Day
Hi CNC readers! My name is Amanda. My blog is www.twobooswhoeat.blogspot.com
I’m so honored to guest post for Tina. Her blog is actually the first food blog I read. It definitely inspired me to start my own. I’m getting married in July so I’ve been trying to ditch the extra 20 pounds I gained over Christmas break! This post will show you how I’m trying to make my goal.
First things first…I always eat breakfast and I always make sure that it will keep me full until lunch!
A sliced up nectarine.
And some blueberry oats, I add in golden flaxseed and nonfat almond breeze to keep it low calorie but super filling. I’m almost always in a hurry in the morning, so I just make the stovetop oats while my hair iron is heating up. LOL. Lunch is usually something portable enough to eat in my car. Awful, I know. I go to school full-time and work 40 hours a week so I really have no choice!
A whole wheat pita stuffed with hummus, tomatoes, lettuce and grilled chicken.
I usually eat a quick snack between classes and before dinner. I love KIND bars.
Dinner is usually lower in carbs. So something like a lean turkey burger with 1 tbsp of guacamole on a whole wheat bun with roasted veggies works.
This day would amount to about 1400-1600 calories. I use www.sparkpeople.com to track my calories. It’s a great resource! Thanks for having me guest post!

Great guest post. I am a health educator and always here people say we don’t have time to eat healthy, but it isn’t hard, as long as you prepare a little in advance!

Great post! It’s always hard to eat healthy on busy days, but as you show, it doable when you plan.

Sounds good. I would be starving on that amount of calories, but if it works for you, that’s awesome.

I think I would starve on that number of calories too…especially with only that pita for lunch!

Your “quick” meals are definitely more creative than what I do in a rush! Great post!

Thanks for the suggestions. I often use the excuse that I’m too busy when I make poor choices or skip meals!

cute ideas!! Your oatmeal isn’t in a kiddie bowl from IKEA is it??? cause i love using children’s plate/bowls/silverware. Much smaller portions and they come in the cutest colors!!
