Not every meal can be consumed in the home. Avoid the temptation to eat in restaurants or allowing hunger to force poor food choices, by packing a homemade lunch and a water bottle when leaving the home for extended periods. Keep a stash of easy to eat snacks in the car or office. This will help to avoid hangry runs to the vending machine or fast food restaurant. Nuts, seeds, granola, and fruit are always quick and easy snack options.
