5 Essential Eating Tips for Tough Times

Diet Depression

On those tough days when even getting out of bed feels like a struggle, thinking about preparing a meal can seem like an impossible task. Yet, no matter how low we feel, our bodies still need nourishment.

Recognizing this challenge, a member of an online community bravely shared her journey of maintaining healthy eating habits during emotional lows. She reached out for advice and tips from others who have walked a similar path.

Don’t Let Depression Ruin Your Diet

To help with eating, having pre-cut and frozen fruits and veggies that require zero preparation is a win. Keeping them frozen increases their shelf life and doesn’t require stressing over what to eat. You can quickly grab and snack.

Frozen Fruits and Veggies Are Your Friends 

Peanuts, almonds, cashews, coconuts, walnuts — you name them. Keeping them in the house is a good idea when you’re not in the mood to play the chef at home. They are healthy, nutritious, and high in calories.

Snacking on Nuts

We agree with someone who says, “You’re never too old for a peanut butter sandwich.” We know some people might not agree, but we don’t make the rules; we follow them.

A Simple Sandwich Works Just Fine

If the thought of putting together a sandwich sounds like a chore, no worries. You don’t have to make a sandwich to have a healthy meal. Always remember that “eating ingredients separately is nutritionally the same as putting them together,” a helpful foodie points out.

Sand Without the Wich? Whatever! That Works Too

Be it coffee, tea, chocolate milk, or a milkshake: instead of eating nothing, a cup of “something” to sip for the first few hours of the day sounds like a good idea. Sneaking in some protein makes it even better — your body will thank you.

A Cup of “Something” Isn’t Such a Terrible Idea
