Healthy eating rarely fails for lack of knowledge – it fails for lack of time. When your day is full of meetings, lunch gets skipped and in the evening you grab whatever is closest. These tips help you keep your rhythm through the work week.
1. Plan the week ahead
Fifteen minutes of planning on Sunday saves hours during the week. Write down what you will eat each day and when.
2. Don’t skip breakfast
A high-protein breakfast – cottage cheese, eggs or yoghurt – keeps you full until lunch and reduces sugar cravings.
3. Lunch is the most important meal of the day
At the office it is easy to eat fast and eat anything. A balanced lunch with protein, vegetables and carbs keeps your energy steady through the afternoon.
4. Keep a snack within reach
With a ready snack on your desk, you won’t get the hunger that sends you to the vending machine or café. Nuts, yoghurt, fruit or a protein bar all work.
5. Drink enough water
Thirst often feels like hunger. Keep a bottle of water on your desk and drink regularly throughout the day.
6. Don’t eat “whatever there is” in the evening
If dinner is decided in advance, you don’t have to make choices when you are tired. The evening is when most random calories sneak in.
7. Let someone else cook
The easiest way to follow all of the tips above is to have the food ready. Every weekday morning we deliver food for the whole day – breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner – with calories and macros already counted. Choose a plan that suits you or see this week’s menu. For your whole team there is office catering.
