you are hungry and you are on the run, you are morelikely to grab unhealthier foods that will eventually bring youdown. It's more difficult to choose wisely when you don't havemuch time and all you want to do is satisfy the stomach growls.

What Do You Do?

There are a few things you can do to make sure you are prepared when things get so busy that your normal routine isinterrupted. Eating healthy during this time is very important because if you are that busy then it's probably also essentialthat you stay healthy and have the energy to finish what youneed to do. Not to mention, when you finally do get a day offyou will want to be well enough to enjoy it.

Here are my tips:

1. Every time you cook a meal, freeze a small portion of it. On abusy evening when you come home late, all you have to do is warm it up.

2. Keep quick cooking wh...

...ole grains in the cupboard. Buckwheatquinoa, and millet only take about 20 minutes to cook versus45 minutes for brown rice.

3. Keep quick cooking oats in your drawer at work. You caneven put each serving in a little plastic bag.

4. Store up on canned soups at home. My favorite is Amy'sOrganics.

5. Keep cut up carrots and celery in a glass of water in thefridge, you can snack on them while your food is heating up.

6. When out, grab baby carrots, fruit, sushi, steamed veggiesfrom a Chinese shop (squeeze lemon and salt for taste)

7. You can get an omelet with lots of fresh veggies and atmany deli's they will cook it without oil if you ask.

These ideas should help get you started and help to keep youwell through the winter!
