Dad Hack proudly presents. What and when to eat with 8 kids. The title is slight deceiving but my small overloaded brain did not know how else to say it. The video below will explain it better than I can. So you can read on or just skip to the video.
The video is not so much about kids eating habits but more about my eating habits. Kids eating habits can only be changed by the purchases a parent makes. If you have junk in the house, kids will take the path of least resistance. Kids are intrinsically lazy when it comes to eating habits. My personal opinion on this reason is the disconnect from how the food gets on the table. They don't understand how modern day food processing works. We as parents are also just like the kids. We will look for the quick snack. Our reasons or more righteous or so we claim. We blame or poor food choices on time. We are just to busy to eat healthy.
Hack # 1 - There is a solution. Meal prepping is the key to weight loss. Here are the main reasons. You have to plan to make your meals. You have to schedule time to free up time to cook at home. Don't over think it, it is easier than you think. Also adding a protein supplement for 1 meal or breakfast will also speed the weight loss process. Our gut is so messed up from processed food. The protein gets our gut ready to work. Here is what we use.

Hack # 2 - There is a plan. Usually with anything when a plan is in place the end result is better than if we just wing it. We would not go on a trip without some basic plan. We would not make a major purchase like a home or car without a plan. We should have a planned approach to our eating habits. Because even with a good plan failure is going to happened. But with a small miss we can still win. If we don't show up because you did not have a plan on how to get there, we lose. This simple planner is cheap and all you need.
Hack # 3 - A plan turns into a schedule. Once we have a schedule it solves the problem of (We are so busy). Once the busy excuse is solved then it is a matter of will. And only we can suppress our inner child. The busy excuse leads us to order out or go out and eat. The food at the restaurant is large portions and loaded with fats that make it taste good. A schedule will put the fat over sized portions into a treat once a week instead of a 3 times per day staple.
What if we get hungry between prep meal. Nuts are great for protein and hunger control. each of these packs is only 100 calories but they will fill you up. Put these in the car and at the office. Instead of pulling in a drive through get a pack of these out of the glove box. Instead of ordering with everyone at work for afternoon ice cream pull a pack out of the desk drawer. In between meals when you feel hunger eat a bag or half bag.

Final Hack - Keep it simple. Don't start with some crazy meal from Instagram or Pinterest. Take your best meal your favorite meal that you cook. Double it, cook it, eat it that night. Then take your leftovers and freeze them. The key is freeze them in smaller containers. The link below is the best contains we have found yet. These contains are key in the process. They force you to use portion control. Homecoming and portion control with help speed the weight loss process.

Bonus Hack - Our Bodies are 80% water yet we fill them with everything else. Find a sugar free drink and a shaker. I have two below that we use. First thing in the morning we start drinking water. But water gets old. So we started using sugar free enhancers to make water no so lame.
