Prepare Your Own Meals
If you want to take the guessing game out of eating on the run, you can determine what your next meal will be if you prepare it in advance. Short on time? Follow Billie’s advice and make it simple.”No matter where I go, I always take a pack with me that contains protein powder or a protein bar, nuts, and tuna… for those times when you just can’t find anything” says Billie.An alternative to preparing your own healthy meals is to buy them premade. Often, they can be delivered to your door and you can design your own dish according to the macros you want.”I use a few companies for pre-prepared meals, like ICON Meals, Lean Meals, and FlexPro Meals. I find it easy to have these in my freezer and pull them out when I need them,” says Billie.

It sounds easy to say, but you will definitely see results.”
