Cafeteria vs. the Lunch Box

September 5, 2012

admin

You can make a healthy meal at or away from home. When time isn’t on your side to pack a lunch, the cafeteria may be the only option for lunch. Breathe easy — healthy options can be made at school (or at work cafeteria)! Encourage your family to follow similar tips for healthy eating when they are in the lunch line or packing a lunch.
1.Choose whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to fill most of your plate. These provide nutrients for energy and have fiber to help keep you full.
2.Choose a low-fat dairy option like skim chocolate milk, yogurt, or string cheese. With protein, calcium, and carbohydrates these are great snacks to stay fueled and focused for the rest of the day.
3.Include a protein source like chicken, hamburger, turkey, or eggs to stay full until afternoon snack.
4.Go easy on packaged foods like cookies and candy since they are higher in added sugar and can lead to an energy spike — followed by big drop. This can lead to poor performance.

  I have been at Strongside for close to two months. I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging.  I highly recommend Nutriformance for everyone who is looking for a place to belong.

  This is the best lifters gym I've ever been to. There is an almost overwhelming amount of equipment on the upper level.

  I like the variety of exercises and intensities, but my favorite part is the technology that allows me to hold myself accountable for my effort and performance.

  Great local gym. Lots of weights and machines, friendly staff, and not too crowded.

  I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

  I couldn’t recommend Alexis (massage therapist) enough. She is kind, professional and knowledgeable every time I see her. She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

  The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training.  The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks.  If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
