Remote employees do not have to worry about the temptations of cake in the breakroom or impromptu lunches out. Yet, working from home might still not mean you get to eat nutritious meals. One way to encourage you to eat balanced meals, is to start a healthy cooking club.
In a club, you can swap healthy recipes via a collaborative Google Doc or link collector, upload pictures of finished dishes to a cloud-based photo album and share tips. You could even schedule ongoing remote dinners or virtual cooking sessions based around healthy meals or send participants meal kits. Most importantly, being engaged in a group will help keep you accountable and excited.
