3. Prepare mid-morning snacks by portioning out fruit and a handful of raw nuts.
4. Grill or pan-sear the chicken breast, slice, and toss with salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and an olive oil-lemon dressing. Store in a meal container for lunch on the go.
5. Cut celery sticks and pair with almond butter for an easy afternoon snack.
6. For dinner, top a rimmed baking sheet with chopped sweet potatoes and broccoli, drizzle with olive oil, season, and roast for 20 minutes at 400°F. Add salmon fillet to the pan, season, and roast for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until cooked through.
