When you are tired and hungry, you need something quick to eat that is grab and go. Little thought and no prep work required. This is why it’s so easy to grab a cookie (or 5) or a bag of chips or granola bar or whatever is your standard grab-and-go food.
If you’re trying to eat healthier, it’s tempting to say “that’s it! starting tomorrow I will eat fruits and vegetables for a snack instead of cookies and granola bars”.
When you are sitting on your couch full, calm and satisfied, this seems like a reasonable plan. No problem. However you really need to plan for when things are NOT reasonable! Planning for how you will handle the times when you are more likely to grab less than healthy foods will help keep you on track and moving towards your goals.
This is where the grab-and-go snack list comes in.
This is a list of healthier options that you will have in your fridge or pantry that you can grab and stuff in your face when you are hungry. Put yourself in your Hangry shoes, make the list and post it on your fridge (i would even take a picture of it with your phone and save it someplace easy to find so you can consult it when you are hungry and not at home).
Here is my grab-and-go snack list.
