What if I told you that healthy eating doesn’t have to feel complicated or take up hours of your time? I know it can be overwhelming. We live in a world with endless nutrition advice, and it’s too easy to feel paralyzed by all of the options.
After ten years of helping women over 40 feel stronger and more confident than ever, I’ve realized that simplicity is the key to success.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to make your nutrition feel easy and doable, even when life gets busy:
1. Use the “Plate Method.”
Instead of worrying about counting every calorie, try:
Fill half your plate with colorful veggies
A quarter with quality protein
And the last quarter with a healthy carb
Add a drizzle of healthy fats like olive oil or some avocado.
It’s easy to customize, and this works whether you’re meal-prepping or eating on the go!
2. Have 3-5 Go-To Meals on Rotation.
When you’re short on time (and hungry!), it’s way too easy to grab whatever’s convenient. That’s why I recommend having a rotation of quick, nutritious meals ready to make on the fly.
For me, that looks like:
A veggie-packed omelet with a side of mixed berries for breakfast
A quick salad with pre-cooked protein and homemade balsamic vinaigrette
A protein smoothie loaded with greens, nut butter, and frozen berries
3. Batch-Prep What Matters Most.
If a large meal prep session feels like it’s too much, prep a couple of basics!
Roast a tray of veggies or cook a batch of quinoa that you can use throughout the week.
The goal isn’t to be perfect — but to make healthy eating as simple as possible.
Your healthy habits should work for YOU, not the other way around.
