During the hectic workday, moving from patient to patient, don’t turn to the easiest fast-food lunch. Make it nutritious, make it easy. Here’s how.
Sometimes the day can get so hectic we forget to even take the time to eat. Or, we turn to the easiest solution: grabbing the fast meals, usually not the healthiest.
That routine won’t get you anywhere when it comes to your health or mood.
Maintaining healthy choices throughout the day - even when patients arrive one after the other through the door - is of extreme importance.
Here are easy ways to make sure you are snacking and eating nutritious even when you don’t have a lot of time to think about it.
1. Make a pot of nutritious chili, soup or stew for dinner and save a small container to bring for lunch the next day.
2. If there is a microwave in your practice, take a sweet potato with you. To cook it at the office, poke holes in skin with fork and cook 5−7 minutes, turning halfway through. Then serve it with low-fat yogurt and a dash of cinnamon.
3. Cold strips of grilled chicken from last night’s dinner with honey mustard dip.
4. Wraps are easy to make the night before, and don’t include all that filling bread. Make them with whole wheat tortillas containing either lean cold cuts or low fat cream cheese topped with veggie slices.
5. Freeze leftover dinner freeze portion sizes and grab them a couple of weeks down the road for lunch.
