The Microwave Snack

Have you ever been so hungry (or maybe it’s out of habit now) that you have a microwave snack? You know, the snack or nibble you have while you’re waiting for your food to heat up? Yes. THAT.

I want to challenge you to see this as an opportunity. We all know we have choices, and sometimes we just see red because our bodies get all caveman-like, focusing on none other than NEED FOOD NOW.

First of all, let’s try to not get to that point. This moment of time is so critical because we might use this change to fulfill an immediate need that we may later regret. Make new choices for yourself to re-wire your brain to making a better decision:

You can choose hydration, or pick a nutritious snack. What does this mean? Well, as the microwave minutes pass which can feel like you can write a book, we set ourselves up for one of the two (or both) options. Uh, Michelle, but why? Because you can save yourself a ton of calories for later and a load of guilt (which can also make you feel heavier than overeating).

Here are some of my favorite selections:

  • handful of graps
  • strawberries
  • turkey pepperonis (be careful to not overdo it, it can be easy and you might be bloated – so drink lots of water and be mindful here)!
  • handful frozen dark chocolate covered raisins (the frozen bit makes you eat them slower, therefore you eat fewer and takes you longer to finish. By then, your microwave jail minutes should nearly be done)!
  • chug a glass of water
  • bonus points for doing lunges, air squats, push ups, or anything physical while waiting!
  • simply wait in hunger torture

There you have it! Don’t let the microwave minutes own you!

$12/mo gets you so much! This is seriously $3/week, less than a coffee per week and even a gallon of gas in most places.
