Eating healthy as a busy nurse is no easy task. In fact, it can be downright challenging if you’re working long hours. In order to make sure that you’re eating healthily and getting the right balance of nutrients, try to always prepare your own snacks and meals. Rather than relying on grabbing a bite to eat at work or when you’re out, plan ahead and prepare healthy options.
Bring snacks so that you stay fueled up on the job, like protein bars, nuts and seeds, fruit and fresh vegetables. Shop for fresh foods on your day off and plan out your meals for the week ahead. The key to eating right is planning and preparing so that you always have something healthy on hand.
