Healthy/Quick/Easy/Menu of the Day for busy girls/TIPS

Ok so it is HARD to eat healthy!! and I know a lot of people are trying to lose weight, but just don't know how... So I came up with a menu for the day full of yummy, healthy snacks and meals that will keep you satisfied all day and totals under 1,500 calories for the day. And I know it's hard to go shopping to get fresh fruit and veggies, but it's a MUST to lose weight. Also, I totally homemade all of this stuff and brought it to work with me, and cooked it at home, and this was my actual menu for the day :)


Here we go...

Half a ziploc of fresh blueberries on the way to work (80 cals)


Water


11:00 (I am totally not a breakfast person, I usually eat most of my calories in the evening time, if you are a night owl that's usually the case, but if you are an early bird usually the most consuming goes on in the morning)


2 packs of regular, non sweetened instant oatmeal (200)

TIPS...


Prepare a healthy lunch and snacks the night before work so you don't wake up at the last minute, and get to work like FUCK I AM starving!!! and then rummage through your supervisors snack drawer and grab a hersheys to tie you over til your break and then run to the closest taco shop and order the fattiest burrito ever, because I have toootally done that like 100 times. 


While making your healthy dinner, be sure to make 2 servings so you can save some for a healthy lunch the next day :)


Drink water duh....half the time you feel hungry, it's because you are thirsty, because food=water, and your brain is smart and fools you. 


I only shop at Trader Joe's and Fresh n Easy... it is cheap and most veggies are in little packs already so it's super easy to grab. 


ONLY BUY healthy things....if you BUY a giant bag of frozen tater tots AND broccoli...then come on people we're gonna eat the damn taters first!! and by the time we eat through the whole bag of tater tots, the broccoli is moldy and we throw it away.... totalllly done that too hahaa. so next time, no taters...or chocolate..or cheesecake, whatever your weakness is. 


There is a difference between 100 calories of blueberries and a 100 calorie pack of cheetos. Blueberries are wayyyyy easier to burn off, so in turn you will lose way more weight. 


Don't drink soda or gatorade, milk, or any juice thats not 100%, those are just wasted calories and they don't even make you feel full. Water and 100% fruit juice, tea and coffee (sometimes) are the only liquids we should be drinking.
