I've started to simplify what I eat. I think this will help me eat more intuitively and notice the food choices and how they affect my body.
What I've noticed since starting to eat this way is that sometimes my meals are too simple in that they lack nutrients. For example: for dinner I love my simple pasta meal: spaghetti, olive oil, and garlic. Yummy. But I eat it and get hungry and find myself snacking soon after. Is there a way to make this mean more hunger satisfying? It already hits the mark in terms of taste and craving satisfaction, but adding a protein and fiber would make a world of difference. Another example is eggs. I eat eggs every morning but what if I threw a couple onions and spinach in there? I'd be leveling up my eggs. And for my daily salads, rather than a simple greens + chicken combo, I could throw in beans and peppers too.
I'm leveling up my food.
This may sound like I'm un-simplifying my meal plan. It's not though because the additives I'm choosing are very simple, and require no additional cook time. Just something to toss in. This is because I meal prep these extra ahead of time and have them in my freezer. So when the spirit moves me, I can quickly and easily level up my food.
Check out how I've meal prepped by chopping and pre-cooking the goodies that I can throw into my simple meal plan to level it up!
Looking good ehh? 😊
