Fuel Your Body Well!

We've heard many of you are hungry and still stumped on what to eat throughout the day!  I asked a clean eater winner from last October her thoughts on this topic and she said to remind you to eat every 3 hours!  We completely agree!  Think several mini-meals throughout the day.  REMEMBER THE FOODS YOU ARE FUELING YOUR BODY WITH ARE NUTRIENT RICH, SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO EAT!  Of course fruit has sugar and nuts have fat, so you want to make sure you have variety in your diet!  However, we want you to feel full!  These are some of our favorite mini-meals/snacks.  Please don't go to bed hungry!  Your body needs fuel and if you are hungry then EAT!  Just think nutrient dense foods!  Also, you MUST PREPARE!  We really cannot stress enough the importance of packing your mini-meals/snacks so you have options when you are hungry.  We encourage you to keep a basket of healthy snacks in your car or at your desk.  We even pack our mini coolers with healthy food options when we know we won't be home for most of the day.



If you need more mini-meal/snack options, try some of these.  We'd love for you to leave your own favorite option in our comments section.  We are always looking for new ideas too!
