7 Steps to Eat Healthy at Work, Eating healthy is difficult, even at home, so eating at work can feel downright impossible. Thankfully, it is entirely doable. Employ these proven strategies and you’ll meet your fitness goals in no time!

Eating healthy already requires a lot of planning. Rather than add yet another layer to the planning process, try selecting simple and easy recipes for your lunches.

Eat Healthy At Work –The Plan Diet,

Bonus points if you can reinvent the things you already have on hand without actually having to cook. An example might be taking leftover black beans used for one meal and then adding them to a salad for lunch.

Join (or Start) a Lunch Club at Work

Odds are, you have co-workers that are trying to eat healthier. It’s also highly likely that eating healthy at work is just as challenging for them as it is for you. Why not band together and make it easier for everyone? All you need is four other participants who follow a similar health regimen (not all diets mesh well, such as Paleo and vegan).

The idea is for everyone to take turns supplying the meals. Each person gets one day a week. On your day, you’ll prepare the meal and supply any fixings and cutlery. It’s usually best for you to set everything up the night before. Also, you might find it helpful to portion out the meal to ensure there’s enough for everyone.

Enjoy Breakfast for Lunch

Breakfast foods are some of the most portable and affordable foods you can eat. Abandon your notion that certain foods belong to specific times of the day and you’ll have a whole extra menu to enjoy.

Smoothies can easily be stored in an insulated tumbler or glass mason jar. Tofu scramble and scrambled eggs with leafy greens are both easy to heat up and require very little prep the night before. 

If your office has a toaster, you can even do avocado toast and a healthy breakfast patty. Yogurt, granola, and overnight oats are some wonderful breakfast-for-lunch options as well.

Prep Your Meals for the Week

One of the biggest challenges to eating healthy at work is finding the time to make your lunch before work. You can do it the night before, but who wants to cook or clean after a long day? Besides, if you’re eating at home, you may already have cooking and cleaning to do.

Save yourself some added hassle by prepping your lunch meals over the weekend. Some people choose to do one or two big meals before separating them down into smaller containers for the week. Others like to have a differ1ent selection for each day. Do whatever works best for you.

Focus on Freshness

Since you’ll be preparing your meals for the week, you’ll want to ensure you store your meals in airtight containers. Glass and stainless steel tend to work better than plastic.

Also, be sure to keep things like bread and tortillas separate from the food, as these can become soggy during storage. Have them easily accessible so you can toss them into your lunch bag before you leave each day.

Create Some Healthy, Portable Snacks

There’s nothing worse than that mid-afternoon snack attack! It can cause you to reach for the unhealthiest of foods. Given the right conditions, you might even be tempted to grab drive-thru on your way home.

Avoid these issues by creating healthy, portable snack foods for work (and maybe even your car). Granola, trail mix, nuts, dried fruit, and protein balls are all easy to prepare options. If you can, avoid the store-bought versions, as they often have extra calories and preservatives that may not align with your food goals.

Stick to Your Food Goals

It can be hard to say no to someone when they offer you home-baked brownies for the office or half of their grandmother’s famous lasagna. But your food goals are important, so don’t be embarrassed or afraid to refuse.

If you’re tempted, remind yourself that you have everything you need, right there with you. You have a healthy lunch that conforms to your food goals. You even have a tasty snack. No need for extra.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, get fit, or just simply eat foods that are better for your body, you can accomplish it if you stick to this list.
