Strategy #2 – In my 3 Week ‘A More Amazing You’ Series
It’s Simple…
Cook More Meals at Home
That’s right, and it just takes a little bit of planning to get started if you don’t already. When you cook more meals at home, not only do you tend to eat healthier, but you can also save time, money and calories.
If you cook a meal and make a double or triple batch, you’ll have left overs for lunches or another dinner. By cooking once and eating two or three times, you are being extremely efficient with your time, money and calories.
It’s much easier to eat healthy when you’re the one selecting the ingredients and preparing the meals. I know it takes more time to plan and prepare yourself, but if you are looking to lose or maintain weight, feel better and save money, it’s definitely worth the effort!
On the nights that you have other activities going on with family or friends, a crockpot is a HUGE help!
What nights can you plan to cook at home this week?
If life is just way too hectic, you can always pick up freshly prepared foods from The Main Dish, Co-op or another place that offers fresh, ready made, healthy meals. Another great option is to hire a chef to make customized meals for you and/or your family, and deliver them right to your door each week. This option is super convenient!
What one action step can you take this week to prepare more meals at home?
