Between parenting, working on TV shows Dexter: Original Sin <\/em>and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer <\/em>revival (!), and juggling the usual daily chaos (like figuring out what\u2019s for dinner), Sarah Michelle Gellar has found strategies that make healthy eating doable\u2014even on the busiest days.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what makes her such a great brand partner for the launch of MyFitnessPal\u2019s new Meal Planner<\/a>. It\u2019s a tool she personally uses to simplify shopping, reduce food waste, and make sure her meals support her goals. These days, she\u2019s way more focused on building strength than chasing weight loss\u2014and she\u2019s all about finding easy ways to eat more protein.<\/p>\n

Like most of us, Sarah\u2019s goals have evolved\u2014she\u2019s focused more on building strength and eating enough protein than anything else. So when she found something that made meal planning less stressful and helped her get balanced meals on the table faster, she was all in. That\u2019s why she partnered with MyFitnessPal for the launch of Meal Planner.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Sarah Michelle (@sarahmgellar)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We checked in with her for a quick-fire Q&A about how she eats to stay energized, what\u2019s in her lunchbox on set, and the small-but-mighty habits that help her nourish herself and her family without the stress.<\/p>\n

How have you changed the way you eat to get more protein?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I love this question\u2014because honestly, small changes really can make a big difference. For me, it\u2019s all about making protein easy and effortless. I don\u2019t do anything extreme\u2014I\u2019m a busy mom, I need things that work in real life. So I started by just being more aware of protein. Now I always ask myself: \u201cWhere\u2019s the protein?\u201d when I\u2019m making a meal or snack.<\/p>\n
