It's quite common for people to think that if they workout they can eat anything. I'm not talking about occassional treats or daily cookie. But replacing daily a meal or few meals with unhealthy option. Sometimes it can be something you consider healthy but it really isn't. That's why I believe into making all meals myself right from the beginning. I barely ever buy anything ready made or already flavored. Those things are often packed with hidden calories which is often extra fat, sodium or sugar. Afterall for example salad dressings are quite easy to make and if you make them yourself you choose what it contains!

Replacing healthy meal with unhealthy one means you end up eating most likely more calories, fat, sugars and sodium daily than you should. This leads to gaining weight or stopping your progress. You will most likely lack the necessary amount of nutrients for the day aswell. Sure skipping on some vitamins daily doesn't seem like a problem, because you can always replace the missing nutrients with supplements. But it is a problem. No supplement can ever replace getting same nutrient from food. More about it on another post. 

Many have also complained to me how healthy eating keeps them hungry. That means you should check out what you are doing wrong. Some don't consume enough calories, some lack fiber but some eat too little of protein, carbs and fats. So most likely you are doing something wrong. Eating unhealthy meals keep you feeling full because you tend to overeat! Unhealthy meals are high on fat and sugar just so they give us quick boost of energy but quick energy is literally quick. You will feel hungry faster and most likely you will feel tired aswell. A picture on right may explain my point better.

Eating healthy replenished your body better after workout. You will notice this in many ways. A day after workout you have energy and strenght to workout again. You will have more strenght and you will feel way better both mentally and physically. Feeling good mentally is also a key to successful weightloss and getting fit. So eating something that brings your mood down onto ground is completly pointless. You won't get any closer to your goal so rewarding yourself after good workout with unhealthy meal is like erasing the workout you just had. Working out increases the loss of nutrients so that's why it is important to eat well. Your muscles and brains need specific vitamins to perform well. So if you feel you lack strenght and the mood for working out, the reason is on your plate. Sure stress and not sleeping well causes you to feel like that aswell. But even those are fixeable with eating well.
