Nutrition While At Home

By

Your goal for good nutrition at home right now: just eat.

Hey, it’s a good time to clean the fridge drawers!

Does your fridge look like this? I am sure you are like us and stocked up on as many groceries as possible before hunkering down at home. We have more carbs and snacks than we could ever eat, some frozen meat and protein, and never enough produce.

Fruitless breakfast

Of course the first thing we ran out of were fresh vegetables. Second, the fruit. So for a handful of days we were relying on frozen only. This time away from the grocery store has forced us all to get creative with freezer and pantry meals. If we had had just a bit more notice, we could have made casseroles and crock pot dump bags until the cows came home. For us Plenty delivery is a lifeline for fresh food, but it only lasts for a few days until we’re on our own again.

I want to assure those of you who are used to having meals built on fresh green salads and antioxidant-filled fruit that your nutritional status will be fine. 

While frozen fruit and vegetables might not be your first choice for taste or texture, nutritionally they retain their nutrients and may even have more than fresh because they are frozen at peak nutrition with no loss due to transport. Smoothies and soups will be the new salads for the short term. Now is a good time to try out Daily Harvest or Splendid Spoon. Both offer smoothies and frozen bowls and you can get $25 off each with my links.

A few frozen vegetable ideas:

If you’re eating more carbs than vegetables because you literally ran out of vegetables, that is fine too. When we’re going through a crisis, eating food in general is all you should worry about.

Plus there are tons of pantry staples and foods that last a while that you can rely on for good nutrition:

  • Eggs
  • Sardines / tuna / salmon
  • Root vegetables
  • Canned beans
  • Shelf stable boxed soups
  • Whole grain everything (rice, cereals, frozen bread, farro, pasta)
  • Dehydrated and dried fruits
  • And many more!

Stay calm and chew on. And be kind to yourself!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
