Pack Your Lunch

Nutrition is what you make of it. It is a difficult part of your life or quick and easy. Let’s look at the typical day. You get up and decide what to make for breakfast. Ok, now, you have to pack a lunch (some assemble required). You get home and now…yep, you have to figure out what to make. All this thinking and making is going to take some time. Here is what I propose….Eat the same thing. Now, I’ve bounced this idea off someone and the response was “Yuck! Eat the same thing!” OK, not the response that I was hoping for but let me explain why this is a good idea.


We are in a rush, rush society. Our time is constantly being taken from us by work and life. Nutrition could start coming from a clown at a drive through very easily. Try to pick one or two nights a week for cooking. You make enough food until your next cooking night and place the fruits of your labor into plastic containers. How does this help on time and nutrition?


1) You pack your lunch by reaching in the fridge on your way out the door.
2) Instant portion control.
3) No worries about frequent runs to the store.
4) More time to for you.
5) No more visits to grinning clowns serving cholesterol on a bun with a side of lard.


Don’t forget to pack some fruit and a bag of veggies to munch on between meals. Hey, if you want to lose weight, you have to eat.
