EIE challenge for this week is to eat from home. A brilliant but strange concept for most Americans because we have access to so much fast food (or food fast) that seems to taste better than anything we can throw together that fast. Prepping food in advance is vital to maintaining an on point diet but it can be extremely tricky when you have a crazy schedule. I get home super late most nights and hate the idea of having to spend 20 mins cutting, seasoning, stirring, baking just to eat quick and go to bed. In order to relieve this stress, I prep days in advance. Thursdays are normally days I have couple hours in the morning where I make a weeks worth of lunches and prep dinners. As you can read under “what my coaches eat” in the Nutrition Resources tab, I make raw veggie salads for my post wod lunch while working. Key to prepping for dinners, and this is my ultimate secret so please tell all your friends, is having a good rub. Buy one or make one but a solid rub can be spread over any meat in a matter of seconds or sprinkled over veggies. If you want to make one which I always recommend, find a recipe you like and make a large quantity so you can use it for months. Two pan sheets, one for baking your protein and one for your veggies, dry rub and BAM- dinner. This is a rub that I make large batches of and still love.
