My Typical Slope Meals

Yes, it IS challenging to eat healthy on the North Slope with so many temptations so don't beat yourself up if you slip up at work. Staying focused, knowing your outcome, having a VISION BOARD, having your goals written down (and reviewing regularly), WILL keep you on track.

This is a typical daily menu for ME at work on the North Slope. This is not ideal and a person needs to VARY their protein sources, but I do what I can up here with limited resources and time. Plus I tend to be lazy, so this is easy for me and I actually find these meals to be pretty tasty!

*Mind you, I am FANATICAL about my nutrition so this is NOT for beginners. I do allow myself PLANNED treats if I want.
