everything everybody said already, plus you should learn to cook some healthy easy meals well so when you're hungry you don't break down and get some greasy drive-thru disaster
learn how to bake a chicken in the same pan as potatoes and yams and carrots, that's a good complete meal and you'll have leftovers for at least a couple days
learn how to make soups and stews esp if you have access to a slow cooker |
Definitely learn to cook. The less you are hitting the ready meals and take-aways the better.
Learn to make things you can freeze, or at least refrigerate for a couple of days then when you just don't feel like bashing the pans you can have something you made earlier.
Obviously the healthier the food you make the better but ANYTHING home cooked is going to be better than eating junky processed or fast food. Do try to actually prepare food yourself. Home cooking is not popping a kiev and some chips fries in the oven.
ALSO: If you are looking for quick energy foods definitely get into superfoods . A glass of apple juice is more effective in the morning than two cups of coffee, and doesn't have the after effects.
MAINLY: If you aren't used to eating healthy, don't try going for, say, alfalfa sprout and raw broccoli salad every meal (unless you find you like it) but generally identify the worst things you eat and replace them with something a bit better. Keep doing that every now and again and you will find a point where you are eating reasonably healthily without forcing some shock new diet on yourself.
BROTIP: Sweet potato wedges and guacamole ♥
EXERCISE? Meh, I don't do that much. I walk almost everywhere though which puts me anywhere from 30minutes to 3hours of walking per day.

That but I'd throw an onion and definitely some peppers in there too. Go for the coconut milk variation. Oh... it doesn't mention it but at the end of the cooking process, before blending it up, throw a load of fresh coriander in there too.
Super cheap
Super healthy
Super tasty
