Need an extra push with Nutrition and Sleep habits?

In this post, I wanted to give you an example of a behavioral chart you can utilize to help you improve habits around nutrition and sleep.

I was inspired to make this chart based on a similar example I saw online.

You can check out the chart below, and download a copy at the bottom of this post.

Additional Tips

Here are some additional tips I would recommend if you may find yourself struggling with these things:

• If you can't get enough protein in, start by eating a palm serving for 2-3 meals every day.
• If you can't get enough veggies or fruits in, try to get at least 2-3 meals with fruits and veggies.
• Start by drinking one cup of water first thing in the morning. Coffee comes after. This may help you habitually consume more water throughout the day.

I would recommend you put these into your daily reminder list and get into the habit of checking each one of these goals off.

It's a fun way to "game-ify" your nutrition and sleep.
