Rest Day 12/6: What’s for Lunch and Where are you eating it?

Rest Day 12/6:

What’s for Lunch and Where are you eating it?

Here’s a good post from Alex Black of Wicked Good Nutrition on a desk lunch that will step up your game a little bit!

Happy Desk Lunch! Tuna Avocado Bowls

Cat WorkingIf you’re like many Americans, you probably have a desk job, at which you sit 7-9 hours per day, and/or eat your lunch at said desk most of the time.

And sadly, I do it too. And sometimes it can get challenging to pack good meals. You have to plan ahead or you end up eating junk. You have to bring stuff you like, because, when you’ve had a rough day, awesome food is just more appealing than boring food. However, the inspiration to write a blog post about it didn’t come until I stumbled upon this tumblr, called “sad desk lunch”. It is basically a running photo blog of the meals people eat at their desk. Some don’t look too bad, but most to me look pretty, well, sad.

But don’t worry, I’m here to save you from the boredom! Every now and then I’ll start posting the meals I eat for lunch at my desk. They’ll usually be either portable or made from ingredients that can be stored an assembled in a typical office kitchen. My first recipe is tuna avocado boats with Dijon mustard and dill. They’re almost Paleo (minus the Greek Yogurt) and delicious!

Deciding what to eat day-to-day can be challenging. Choosing the best thing to eat – a meal that will give you energy to perform without making you feel too full, sick, or hungry – can be even more challenging. Every workout is different, so how you fuel for each one will be different too. You probably wouldn’t eat the same breakfast before a 2K test as you would before a 10 mile run. Read on for some basic pre-workout meal guidelines and some ideas for before a workout.

Rest Day 11/11: How do you keep it healthy during the Holidays?

Rest Day 11/11:

How do you keep it healthy during the Holidays?

Below is a great holiday nutrition post from Alex Black of Wicked Good Nutrition.  Check it out and post your thoughts and favorite recipes!

It’s November! Which means the holidays are fast approaching. And often times it’s not just the individual occasion of Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas Eve festivities to worry about, because everyone can afford a cheat day here and there. It’s the stuff leading up to the holiday, like work pot lucks, holiday parties, and cookie baking.

So, to help you get through the holidays with fewer cheats and keep you wearing your skinny jeans into New Year’s eve, I’m starting a recipe thread for “healthy holidays”. Each recipe will be either low-calorie, lower carbohydrate, or made with all natural ingredients.
