I read a great quote in an online daily newsletter I get called Everyday Health.com: “If you can leave a food on the counter and it doesn’t go bad, it’s probably not good for you.” Well, that just about says it all about a lot of processed foods. That’s why I challenge you to practice clean eating. As fresh as you can get, is best. It typically has less salt, and preservatives with chemical sounding names. It can be a challenge when you’re on the go, but with small organizational steps, it can be done.
Pack a small lunch bag with a cooler pack with greek yogurt, non-salted almonds, or cheese sticks, an apple or hummus and whole wheat low-fat crackers. Pack a bag of high-fiber cereal with a plastic spoon and a tall to-go cup, and stop and get a carton of non-fat milk or soy milk. Portable, easy, quick.
