"I really regret eating clean today" said no one ever.

Meal Planning & Prepping

You can't control everything in life but you can control what you eat. Make it a habit to plan your meals and allocate a day to meal prep to avoid getting caught up on a busy day and putting yourself in a position to choose unhealthy food because it's the easy choice.

Read The Labels

Make sure to know what you are putting in your body, learn to make it a habit to read the food labels and avoid the products filled with artificial preservatives. If you don't know an ingredient, educate yourself by googling it. Also just because something says it's organic, doesn't mean it is good for you, check out the label and make sure you know what you are putting in your body.

Macronutrient

If you are looking to get lean or stay lean, focus on counting your macronutrients rather than counting calories. Fuel your body with protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates. Learn more about How To Count Your Macros

Don't Skip Breakfast

Skipping breakfast can cause you to eat larger, higher calorie meals later in the day and you miss out on the early morning energy boost breakfast provides. I personally start my morning with a shot of espresso, hit the gym, and then have my my breakfast post-workout.

Make Cooking Easy

The best piece of cooking equipment I own is my slow cooker! (some of you may call it a crockpot) It has made it very easy for me to cook clean and tasty meals with very little prep time. I highly recommend purchasing one, there are so many recipes online that are very is easy to follow, making it perfect for beginners.

Lack of time is 1 reason we like junk food. Nobody has time to cook 3x/day. Cook your food in bulk. Even if you work from home. This way you only need to warm-up your meals when it’s time to eat.

Morning. Wake up 30 mins earlier so you can prepare all your meals while making breakfast.
Evening. If you have trouble waking up early, cook your meals for the next day when coming back from work or while preparing dinner.

eating clean seems to be difficult sometimes but It's actually all about taking new habits. Take the time everyday to cook, or sometimes I prepare the day before and then freeze It and mostly I try to avoid going to supermarket, too many temptations, but instead, shop at the local markets
