Great tip!

I also precooked veggies so that at night all I had to do was take portions from containers in the fridge.

I brought the frozen veggies to boil and then turned off the heat and put them into containers. That is really about all they need for cooking.

It kept me on track at night when I was tempted to eat poorly.

I like this idea. Sometimes I try to boil half a dozen eggs so that I can have a breakfast that's ready to go. I can do this with potatoes too. Thanks!

This also helps prevent binge eating because you have healthy choices ready.

Plan Ahead

Prepping vegetables and precooking quinoa and yams for example, once a week allows me to choose wisely when it's mealtime. I have divided my fridge into healthy carbs on one side, and healthy lean protein on the other. Also, I keep a small food scale on the kitchen counter so I can always portion my food. Every morning I fill 2 water pitchers that I can drink throughout the day.

Do Your Veggie Prep Ahead Of Time

Eating fresh usually means a bit of veggie prep. I find that doing all the prep in the morning/afternoon and putting it in a bowl w/ a lid saves me tons of time in the evening. I marinade my proteins then too. In the fridge w/ it, & when I get home from work late in the evening dinner is a snap!
