FOOD FOR BUSY PEOPLE
“I am lucky if I get to eat break
fast before I go to sleep at night!”
Does this sound like you? Are
you too busy to cook and eat tradi
tional meals?
It’s a challenge to live a busy
lifestyle and still eat nutritionally.
Many people do not eat three-bal
anced meals a day. But, rather,
they “graze.”
Although grazing can be fit into
a healthy diet, I need to point out
that a time/motion expert found
that in the long run, eating three
meals a day takes less time then
grazing. Grazers sometimes forget
what they have eaten. At the end
of the day, they might have con
sumed much more than planned.

To avoid this, grazers should have
planned snacks. Select nutrient
dense foods. Examples of healthy
snacks include: fresh and dried
fruits, juice, low-fat crackers, raw
vegetables, rice cakes, and un
sweetened cereal.
Don’t go for more than five
hours without eating. Primarily
your body will use up its store of
glucose. Ultimately, this means
you will probably have diminish
ed mental abilities. Skipping
meals, especially breakfast, will
tower your metabolism, and you
will gain weight Many people
will eat one large meal a day. This
overwhelms the body with calor
ies, thus the body needs to store
the calories it doesn’t need. That

can result in increased fat on

Use the food pyramid as a guide
to healthy eating. One easy way to
remember the food pyramid is to
think “6-5-4-3-2.” You need six
savings of grains, five servings of
fruits and vegetables, four to se
ven ounces of meat, three servings
of beans a week, and two servings
of milk products. (I'm not sure
you need to have three servings of
beans a week, but it fits the equa
tion!)
Frozen meals are another quick
option. Be careful because many
frozen meals are4iigh in Cat, as
well as sodium. The following tips
come from Evelyn Tribole’s book.
Eating on the Run.
• (Mental style meals tend to be
lower in fat and calories.
■ Cheese sauce dishes and pot
pies are usually high in fin and cal
ories.
• Plain frozen vegetables are an
easy nutritional bargain.
• Salisbury steaks generally
have excessive fat.
• Avoid breaded chicken or fish
and hearty man types of meals.
It takes some work, but you can
eat a healthy diet while on the tun.
