Is your life so busy that you find yourself snatching meals in between working and/or looking after the kids and exercising? Do you just grab what you can, because there is no time to think about what you are eating?

How do you manage to fit regular, sensible eating into an erratic lifestyle?

In our body-conscious world, you are what you eat, so take a few moments to consider who you are – a ‘cafeteria meal’ a ‘vending machine snack’; a ‘sandwich from the local snack bar’ or perhaps a ‘pub lunch’!

Well, that’s fine if they offer the foods you need to fuel your busy lifestyle, but all too often this is not the case. Think how many times you have been caught out just because you are not in control of the food you eat – on the train, in the car, at the office, in a café or even when you are enjoying a little retail therapy!

What‘s you energy style?

Do you have a habit of

Missing meals?

Leaving long gaps between meals and snacks?

Buying ready-prepared meals?

Eating on the run?

Grabbing foods without thought?

Do you feel:

Constantly fatigued?

Tired at work?

Ready to go back to sleep as soon as you wake up in the morning?

Unable to stay awake when you sit down in the evening?

Disinterested in making plans in case you feel too tired to enjoy them?

Reluctant to carry out little tasks at home?

How to get your life back

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are not alone. Many people feel generally tired and lethargic, even when they wake up in the morning – certainly not the best start to be busy day! Your diet will significantly affect your energy levels and enthusiasm for exercise and daily life.

Nutrition should provide the basic nutrient requirements appropriate for you at this particular time of life, to help promote your long-term good health, and to help you achieve and maintain an appropriate body weight and body fat level.

When your training programme becomes more physically demanding you must also consider how nutrition can assist in the physiological adaptation and your recovery between training sessions.

Nutrition can influence performance at every level, from getting on with the everyday tasks to supporting the demands of a regular, and possibly highly demanding, training programme. Considering the wealth of advice available, take a moment to ask yourself - ‘What is a balanced diet and how do I achieve it’?
