Healthy Eating on a Busy Schedule

The biggest lie in nutrition culture is that eating well requires hours in the kitchen. With a little strategy, a whole-foods diet fits into even the most chaotic week. Batch-cook grains and legumes on Sunday. Keep a fruit bowl visible on the counter — you eat what you see. Learn five versatile sauces and rotate them over simple roasted vegetables and proteins. Stock your pantry with canned fish, nuts, olive oil, and quality vinegar. Cooking becomes meditative rather than stressful when the mise en place is already done. Your future self will eat better and thank you for the ten minutes of planning.
