Feeling frazzled and drained at the end of the day? Try these expert micro-habits
If you’re often tempted to reach for a ready meal at the end of a busy day, it may be a good idea to add some ultra-easy home-cooked suppers to your arsenal. Nutritionist Sophie Trotman’s secret weapon is breakfast for dinner – particularly when it’s high protein, as the macronutrient is satiating and helps to keep blood sugar balanced. “My ‘fast food’ is scrambled eggs on toasted rye bread,” she says, “with sauteed spinach on the side, if I’m feeling extravagant.” She also suggests mixing together eggs, banana, milled flaxseed, ground almonds and protein powder to make pancakes. “Serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and fruit.”
