Meal Prepping

Meal prepping is the process of planning and creating your meals ahead of schedule, usually for the upcoming week. Meal prepping can help you save money and lose weight.

Meal prepping saves you time and helps to ensure that you eat healthier foods in proper portions as opposed to eating quick processed meals or snacks.

Start meal prepping with recipes you already know so that you don’t frustrate yourself and when you are comfortable you can add new recipes.

Pick a day to prepare your meals the best choice is Sunday since it is the beginning of the week. Wednesday is also used since it allows you to prepare fresh meal in the middle of the week.

Chose which meals you are going to prepare first, that is breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now decide on the recipes you are going to make. Tip is to vary the menu so that you are not stuck eating the same thing every day.

Storage of the prepared meals is very important. You don’t want to pile all your delicious food into one big box and then have a mound of goop to eat. You want to be able to divide each part of your meal and prevent cross contamination. Make sure that your containers are BPA free, clear and of the same size. Tip is to use glass containers where possible since they are reusable and helps save the environment.
