HOW TO EAT HEALTHY EVEN IF YOU’RE ALWAYS ON THE MOVE
Busy professionals might feel as though they need to eat whatever is convenient and immediately
accessible, even if the available options lack nutritional value. However, there are a host of ways
for on-the-go adults to eat healthy even if they’re pressed for time.
A healthy diet pays numerous dividends.
Such a diet can help people maintain
a healthy weight, reduce their risk for
various chronic conditions, including some
diseases, and boost energy levels. Th e energy
boosting benefi ts of a nutritious diet might
be especially appealing to busy professionals
and provide the extra motivation they need to
embrace healthy eating.
Busy professionals know it’s not always so easy
to eat healthy. An on-the-go lifestyle only adds
to that diffi culty, but the following are some
ways to eat healthy if you’re always on the move.
• Plan ahead. Meal planning is an eff ective way
to eat healthy because it reduces the chances
that adults will make impulsive dietary decisions
without taking nutrition into account.

According to Brown University Health, meal
planning can save time and money. Planning
also helps people avoid dining out too often.
Th at’s a notable benefi t, as many restaurants,
particularly fast food chains that tend to be valued
for their ability to provide quick and fi lling
meals, prepare meals that are high in fat, sugar
and sodium.
• Embrace crockpot cooking. Slow cooking
in a crockpot or slow cooker can help on-thego
professionals eat healthier because it allows
them to prepare meals on weekends and then
eat them throughout the week. Th at’s helpful
for busy adults who don’t have time to prepare
homemade nutritious meals on weeknights,
when work schedules, kids’ extracurricular activities
and other obligations tend to take precedence
over healthy eating.

• Learn to dine out healthy. It’s important that
busy adults do not paint all restaurant off erings
with a broad brush. In fact, many restaurants
off er a wide range of nutritious fare. Diners just
need to know which options fi t that criteria.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, veggie
based entrėes or those with baked, broiled
or grilled fi sh or skinless chicken are nutritious
options when dining out. Johns Hopkins also
urges diners to forgo traditionally greasy or oily
options like cheese-covered enchiladas in favor
of healthier alternatives like tacos featuring fi sh
or grilled chicken.
• Consider meal kits. Th e market monitoring
and research fi rm Statista notes that the meal
kit delivery market has been growing rapidly
in recent years. Research indicates the domestic
market for meal kit delivery services was
slightly less than $21 billion in 2022, a fi gure
that forecasters project will rise to around $65
billion by 2030. Such estimates underscore the
growing popularity of the services. Th ough
meal kit services vary, many off er the convenience
busy professionals are looking for without
compromising nutrition. Pre-portioned
ingredients help meal kit subscribers avoid
overeating, and most recipes are easily followed
and result in meals made in considerably less
time than more traditional means of cooking.
