Look, all things that is considered routine doesn’t have to be boring and all things boring doesn’t have to be routine. However, I do at times embrace both. Since I am usually busy the last thing on my mind is what do I need, want or should eat. The most difficult thing I discovered when trying to eat clean, is finding what was considered CLEAN.
After I spent an unnecessary amount of time in the grocer I said to myself, there has to be a better way. I did some research and used some common sense, and made a simple yet effective way towards “EATING CLEAN” without breaking my neck trying to find places to eat and also my bank account on $12+ salads everyday.
Here is my on the go eat clean on the go formula:
Protein + Veggies = Eating clean
This is a simple formula that can help you understand what foods to eat, and possibly assist with knocking down a few pounds in the process.

5:30am – Breakfast – 3 boiled eggs, turkey bacon and mixed greens
9:30am – Snack – protein shake w/ Soy Milk and banana
11:30am – UpStart Maximum Energy Blend Pill

It’s not overly detailed but with some creativity you can make this guideline as fun as you would like for it to be. Always remember Look Good, Live Well.
