Nutrition Month Week 5: Make it Stick!

Eating well doesn’t need to take a lot of time. A little planning helps you eat healthy, even on the run:

• Stock your kitchen with good-for-you snacks, like veggies, fruit, yogurt, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, seeds and whole grain crackers.

• Cook big batches of soup, stew or chili on weekends, then take a welcome cooking break on busy weekdays.

• Cook once. Eat twice. Make more food than you need for one meal and reinvent it for another.

• Shop for healthier convenience foods, such as frozen or pre-cut vegetables, plain frozen fish fillets, shredded cheese and canned lentils.
