The number of people who work from home continues to grow. Making the transition involves not just shifting your office needs, but it also means a shift in meeting nutritional needs.

When it comes to meeting nutritional needs from a home office, what to eat is important, as well as avoiding overeating. Start your nutritional plan with a schedule, set aside time for breaks, time for lunch and even, if possible, time for a short walk outside or on a treadmill. A schedule for eating will help you avoid the "run to the kitchen to grab snack temptation."

Maximize nutrition by keeping easy-to-prepare foods like frozen entrees, pasta and deli meat, tortillas that can be stuffed with everything from beans to string cheese and even potatoes for micro waving as a quick meal.

Home offices make it easier to get plenty of fruit and vegetables that can fill you up and make for easy, healthy snacks. Since socialization is important to all of us, schedule an occasional lunch meeting or date with a colleague or friend.
