Do you ever get so busy with daily living that it seems easier to skip a meal than take the time to it one in? The irony is that meal skipping can make you less productive. Studies show that meal skipping often leads to losses in concentration, energy levels, and perhaps problem-solving skills.
Meal skipping is no way to lose weight—although some people think it is. Often it leads to overeating on snacks, or at the next meal, resulting in even more calories consumed and perhaps more pounds gained.
Even if you’re rushing today, take time to eat.
- Stop for a deli sandwich to go. Ask for tomato slices and other veggies. Order a carton or bottle of milk with it.
- Pack whole fruit, crackers, and cheese to take along.
- Buy ingredients for a speed-scratch meal at home: precut veggies and skinless chicken strips for a fast stir-fry, or mixed salad greens and deli meat for a quick chef’s salad.
