We are all BUSY – and it can be hard to find the time to eat healthy food. Many scientists agree that eating more whole foods and eating less ultra-processed foods is the most simple way to describe a healthy diet. The biggest problem is that shopping for groceries, prepping ingredients and cooking healthy meals takes time and energy. This is such a big problem that Frito-Lay’s Annual Snack Index outlines that Americans report having only 52 minutes per day to prepare and enjoy their meals. It’s no wonder than so many of us are resorting to food delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats – or otherwise outsourcing our meals to take-out restaurants. Simply put – our brains love convenience – and nothing is more convenient than a hot meal delivered to your door.

Today – through the lens of behavior change science – we’re going to go over 8 tips that you can start using today to eat healthy with a busy lifestyle. So if you’re sick of McDonald’s and frozen pizza – this video is for you. Let’s put the odds in your favor so that you can find time in your busy schedule for more nutritious and healthy meals. None of my tips include anything about MEAL PREP – not because I have anything against it but because I don’t like reheating meals a week late. We’ll focus on meal planning – and using behavioral hacks to make healthy eating easier.

So here are 8 behavioral science tips to help you eat healthy, even when you’re busy. We’ll mainly focus on healthy dinners – but these tips apply to any meal!
