If you are trying to stick with eating healthy or to a diet the best thing you can do for yourself is to prep your meals ahead of time. I like to start on a Monday, I go shopping and get all my foods I want to have for the week. I usually only prep for dinner and lunches (such as salads) because usually for breakfast I'll just have some eggs, sausage and/or bacon. I eat a lot of chicken, for me it is easy to make and it goes with everything (almost). I bake my chicken at 375 for about 30-40 minutes and I season it with different stuff, such as; salt and pepper, sometimes Mrs. Dash, lemon & pepper, and anything that gives it some added flavor.
For veggies I pick asparagus and broccoli and every once in a while squash and zucchini. If I do asparagus and broccoli I will boil them, but if I decide on Zucchini and Squash I saute them up. With the chicken in the oven I might bake some sweet potatoes for the week too, I just wash them off, poke a bunch of holes in them with a fork and then wrap them in aluminum foil.
I work nights so I just make sure I eat before I go into work. This makes it much easier to stick with doing my low carb diet. I make sure I drink a ton of water (that and coffee is all I drink) and I like to bring a snack like raw almonds to help with hunger.
It is easier to go for something that is already made and ready to go, rather than think of something to make and all that goes with it. It took me a long time to finally do this and ever since I did I am so happy because it really saves time and helps keep you on the right path!
