The Weekend

So for many the weekend is a weak point for them in their nutrition simply because routine is broken.  Eating balance, "clean" or overall "good" is easier done during the week because going to work creates a routine for you.  Once out of that routine you have more time on your hand to eat or decide to go out to eat or (you fill in the blank).  Saying all this the question should arise, "how do I keep a clean diet over the weekend?"  This actually is the million dollar question.  So here are my 2 cents.  1)  Still have plans to do things over the weekend, 2) Prepare "grabbable" food in advance so when the weekend shows up you don't just decide to go get something quick or oders something for delivery and 3) If you are going to BBQ or a party bring food you can eat for a full meal and not just 1 macronutrient.  For example: There's a BBQ and you bring salad, where'r your protein and fat? or There's a party and you bring chcken, where's your carbohydrates and fats?  Be prepared for all emergencies!  So you don't eat like crap and then give the excuse,"I didn't have any healthy choices." You be the healthy choice maker!
