Metabolism  involves your body's ability to burn calories and fat ..... It can be raised by exercise but ALSO by eating enough  healthy calories consistently throughout the day.
 
Try and eat every 4 hours. The best way to accomplish this is to keep easy-good-for-you-snacks on hand. Eating every 4 hours will keep your metabolism charged and your energy level HIGH
 
These are some easy on the go snacks - for the days that we feel like we  "live in our cars"
 
How to get started- 
A quick trip to the grocery and a portable snack box or small cooler that fits right in the front seat.  Count out and measure the portions so you know how many calories you are consumming. Having the whole box of crackers in the car and eating them all in a day will not give you the results you are looking for! Get your portions ready, pack your box, put it in the car and you are on your way to healthy snacking.
 
 
TO GO BOX SNACK IDEAS
 
Bananas and almonds(1 piece of fruit and 15 almonds)
10 mulitgrain crackers and 1 TBSP of peanut butter or 1 square of cheese
2 TBSPs Hummus and fresh vegtables(carrots, cucumbers, celery) , mini whole wheat pitas or organic blue chips

Move it Monday! This is the day your metabolism gets revved up.
