Make a food routine (takes 10 minutes)

There are morning routines.

And evening routines.

These work… so why not have a food routine?

Here’s how I’ve built my food routine (takes 10 minutes):

  • List 1-3 healthy breakfasts you like

  • List 1-3 healthy lunches you like

  • List 3-5 healthy dinners you like

  • List 1-3 healthy snacks you like

  • List 1-3 healthy drinks you like

(that’s a list of only 6 - 17 items)

Eat from your food routine 80% of the week.

Here’s my food routine:

  • Breakfast (2 I like)

    • 2 eggs + 2 spoonfuls cottage cheese

    • 3 eggs + pepper jack cheese

  • Lunch (2 I like)

    • Chicken + lettuce + cucumber + hummus + tzatziki

    • Ground beef + sweet potato + pickles + mustard

  • Dinner (4 I like)

    • Bacon-wrapped chicken thighs + sweet potatoes

    • Chicken + broccoli + rice + 1 tbsp barbecue sauce

    • Sautéed shrimp + sweet salsa in a tortilla + green beans

    • Ground beef + iceberg lettuce + avocado + fajita veggies

  • Snack (2 I like)

    • ¾ cup of Greek Yogurt + protein powder + fruit

    • Built Bar (brownie batter my favorite now)

  • Drinks (3 I like)

    • 2 coffee/day (with whole milk)

    • 1 cup of tea/day (with 1 tbsp of honey)

    • 1 Olipop/day (~35 calories, Root Beer my fav flavor)

The other 20%?

  • Little Caesar’s on Fridays

  • Blue Bell Ice cream 1-2x/week

  • The random late night craving of Nutella I just can’t fight

  • The unexpected Tuesday night we eat out when our plans crumble

You probably already have 6-17 foods you cycle through without realizing it.

A food routine infuses intentionality to build new habits.

Hope this serves.
