“Spring-Clean Your Nutrition Plan”
It’s spring cleaning time, and by that I don’t mean landscaping in this case. I mean it’s time to open up that fridge and take stock in that pantry. Discarding anything that has expired is undoubtedly step #1. Your second step should be to toss all the “bad” stuff out. To avoid being too vague, I’ve put together a spring nutrition “to do” list:
PC Conditioning Spring Cleaning
Abandon
- High-calorie dips (nacho cheese sauce, mayo, blue cheese dip)
- High-sugar yogurts
- Soda
- Highly processed meats (i.e. bologna)
Integrate
- Vinaigrette
Bottled water (handy when you’re on the run) or a Brita pitcher- Greek-style yogurt (it’s higher in protein and lower in sugar than the regular stuff)
- Marinated meats in baggies (spend 30 min. every SUN marinated individual chicken breasts in marinade)
