#9 - You Take The Easy Way Out

Take any opportunity you can to increase the nutritional value of your meals. Just because you're eating alone doesn't mean you should resort to unhealthy, fast solutions (hello, ramen noodles!). Make sure you include plenty of veggies and lean protein in your meals. Easy ways to bypass tedious food prep include buying pre-cut or pre-sliced veggies, using a mixer to quickly mince ingredients, and investing in an instant pot so you can speed up the cooking process for meals that usually take much longer to make. Use what's available to you, and you shouldn't have to resort to processed foods and pre-cooked anything.
