Another outfit and Food

Hey everyone, how'd you're first day of school go? It's Emma, and I have one more food in lunches thing.

Alright. Food. There's one very very important thing I forgot to mention.

In your lunch, PACK ENOUGH OF IT! And I don't mean pack tons of bread and crackers. That's not protein. If you don't want to get home dizzy, almost puking, have a lot of protein. You know your balance, but after the summer, you start to forget how much to put in and what is something extra.

Don't worry about extras. Here are some ways to add extra protein in without being overly zealous.

1. If you pack a wrap or a sandwich, put in extra of the good stuff. More peanut butter than jelly, a little bit more chicken in a wrap, just make sure you have lots of protein.

2. Add more nuts to your trail mix.

3. If your school is nut free, pack an avocado. It's may seem like a vegetable (or fruit, whatever), but it has the highest protein of all vegetables (or fruits, whatever).

4. High protein foods are simple to add into your meals/snacks. Cheese sticks, peanut butter, yogurt, eggs (especially the whites), nuts and seeds (even watermelon seeds!), lentils, quinoa, they're all things that have a lot of protein that are easy to sub in for other things. Think avocado, cheese, nuts and seeds can all be put on a salad. Apples can be paired with peanut butter, mix either lentils or quinoa with chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper is amazing.

Here's the outfit for this post. I think it's really cute :D

Remember that whatever you have in your closet is better than going and buying all new things. So look at these things. They're all very basic, but when paired, they are an adorable outfit. You probably have most of these components already.

(Oh and quick cheating tip, you're thinking, $40... I don't know about those boots. They're not gonna fit a very long time. Super cheap, almost identical, knock off version of the boots can be found at Rue21 [thank your lucky stars this store exists] for a little cheaper. Hit the boot sale at Rue right around the end of winter, they're on sale that time of year. I got a pair for $8 :D. TJ maxx also has the boots for cheaper if you're lucky enough to find them when you go:)
