Kate Pearce • March 27, 2023
Enjoy delicious, healthy meals all week long while saving time, money, and reducing stress.
Are you tired of spending hours each day thinking about what to have for lunch or dinner? Do you find yourself reaching for unhealthy snacks or ordering takeout because you simply don't have the time or energy to cook? If so, meal prepping might be just what you need.
Meal prepping has become very popular and for a great reason. It's a brilliant way to save time, money, and stress, while also making sure that you're eating healthy and energy boosting meals and snacks. With a little bit of planning, preparation and support you can have delicious, nutritious meals ready to go all week long.
So grab a pen and paper (or your favourite note-book) and let's get started!
1. Plan Ahead:
Before you start meal prepping, it’s important to plan out your meals for the week. Decide what you’ll be eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and make a grocery list accordingly. Consider incorporating a variety of protein sources, both plant based and meat based, healthy fats and plenty of vegetables for fibre.
2. Set Aside Time:
Set aside a specific time each week to do your meal prepping. This will help you to stay on track and make the process more efficient. Depending on your schedule, you may choose to do your meal prepping on a Sunday afternoon, or break it up into two smaller sessions during the week.
3. Invest in Containers:
Invest in a set of high-quality, reusable containers to store your prepped meals in. Glass containers are always the best and make sure they have leak-proof lids to avoid any messes. Zip lock bags are also a great option to maximise your fridge or freezer space.
4. Know your nutrition requirements:
Knowing your nutrition requirements is crucial for maintaining good health, preventing nutrient deficiencies or imbalances that can lead to health problems. Having adequate protein, fibre and fat is very important for weight loss/weight gain, maximising your energy, muscle growth, healing and vitality. It is important to speak to a nutritionist about your requirements so that you can make informed food choices, and ensure a balanced and healthy diet.
5. Start Prepping:
When it’s time to start prepping, begin with the foods that take the longest to cook, such as grains or proteins. While those are cooking, you can chop up your vegetables and fruit.
5. Store Properly:
Once your meals are prepped and ready to go, store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Label each container with the meal and date so you can keep track of what needs to be eaten first.
6. Enjoy!
Lastly, enjoy your meals and feel proud of yourself for being organised. Meal prepping will make it so much easier for you to stick to healthy eating habits.
Overall, meal prepping can be a game-changer when it comes to healthy eating. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can set yourself up for success and make healthy eating a breeze. Give it a try and see how much it can improve your life!
