Nutrition Tips For Busy Women

Feel like you do not have time to keep your nutrition in check? Wondering how to keep your nutrition in check while bouncing from job to job? Do you keep falling off your nutrition goals? Trust me you are not alone!

Personally, whenever I fall off the wagon I look up blogs for new ways to get my nutrition back on point. Maybe you are in the same boat! Whether you are a busy mom, a career woman, a college student, or all of the above it can seem challenging to try and keep your nutrition goals on point. I have created a list to hopefully help you in reaching your personal nutrition goals or continue to help motivate you to get back on track with those goals. 

The Nine Tips to becoming a person who sticks to their nutrition goals! Let’s go!

1. Prioritize Protein 

   1. Protein is essential for muscle repair and repair. It also helps keep you full because it takes longer to digest! So make sure to incorporate protein in every meal to stay full and support muscle maintenance. 

2. Stay hydrated 

   1. Proper hydration is crucial for energy levels and keeping your body running smoothly. Our bodies use water for literally everything so it is important to make sure we are drinking our water. 

3. Plan and prep meal

   1. Planning meals helps you avoid unhealthy, last-minute food choices like that McDonald's drive-thru! Plus it will save you some money in the long run. 

4. Balance your macronutrients

   1. A balanced diet provides proper energy levels. Have you ever eaten a meal and then you're instantly hungry afterward? Well, that could be because your plate wasn’t balanced with fats, protein, and carbs to promote long-lasting energy. 

5. Healthy snacking

   1. Keep energy levels stable between meals. Like above making sure you have all macros in your snack will help give you a boost of energy and hold you over until your next meal!

6. Incorporate fiber

   1. Fiber aids in digestion and keeps you feeling full. It is also being found out that fiber can help prevent diseases!

7. Mind your portions

   1. Managing portion sizes helps in maintaining a healthy weight. Use smaller plates, listen to your hunger cues, and avoid eating in front of screens to prevent overeating. Mindlessly eating can be easy to do so just be aware of what you are doing. 

8. Prioritize your sleep

   1. In a country that brags about how many hours you are running off of sleep is a game changer in reaching your fitness goals. Getting adequate sleep helps balance your hunger hormones and helps keep your body functioning at top performance. 

9. Smart supplementation

   1. I always try to get all my nutrients from actual food but sometimes that doesn’t happen when you are busy. Supplementation can help fill in the gaps of the nutrients you are missing. 

Let me know which tips you will be incorporating into your busy lifestyle! I know many of these may seem like the same ones you’d find on any health and fitness blog. This is true because the basics always win out.
