Supplement With Meal Replacements
Both store-bought meal replacements (like Boost or Ensure) and the homemade variety are generally good choices for people on the go, especially if they need a quick burst of energy. These drinks can help you, too, but instead of using them as meals in themselves, use them as meal additions.
For instance, a protein-packed yogurt, oat and fruit smoothie could serve as a balanced breakfast, and it sure is filling, but how you frame that breakfast shake can make quite a difference in how you perceive it.
Pour it into a smaller juice glass (you’ll want to save room for the solid fare, after all), and concentrate on the fact that it’s a drink rather than a food. This way, you might be more likely to pair it with your meal rather than enjoy it in place of a meal.
