Not considering snacks

Snack time is the best time of day because a snack is a nourishing little treat that will keep you going until your next meal. However, many newcomers overlook them when planning their weekly meals. Everyone requires a snack throughout the day, and a hungry stomach makes poor decisions. Snacks, according to Healthline, can help control hunger throughout the day and eliminate the desire to eat too many calories. So make sure to properly prepare these morsels and have plenty of healthy options on hand.

Preparing small bags of granola, dried fruit, cheese, crackers, or nuts for easy grab-and-go is an easy way to prepare snacks. Everyone is busy, and having a portable treat to keep energy levels up throughout the day is the best way to keep up with work, school, and other activities. Hard-boiled eggs are a great source of protein if you're looking for a more filling snack (via myfitnesspal). Make a weekly batch and store them in the refrigerator for when you need a protein-rich snack. Simply place a hard-boiled egg in a sandwich bag on your way out the door — no additional packaging is required.
