As a college student who is heavily involved on campus and holds down a job I often find myself saying this but I’ve FINALLY figured out how!
MEAL PREP!!!
There’s always one day that people have down time, for me its Sundays, this is the day you cook meals for the week. While working or going to school there’s always a fast food place to go to during lunch and get unhealthy food. Meal prepping helps you in two different ways! It’s efficient and healthier. I KNOW I usually have at the most an hour to get food and I always have other things I could be doing so taking a full hour break is not even possible. But warming up a meal already prepared and sitting in the office eating and working while everyone else is gone is wonderful. It’s quieter and I can more work done during that “break” than most do the entire day. If you have a place to store your food during the week you don’t have to worry about forgetting it at home, Just bring the weeks worth of food with you.
Quick tip: If you do decide to bring the weeks food make sure to make one extra meal for the office food thief!
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be a hassle. It can actually help save time and money. You just have to make your lifestyle work for you.
