The first step to any meal prep is deciding what you want to eat, after that it is smooth sailing.  Seriously, sometimes the decision making takes longer than actually preparing your meals.  Just keep it basic and simple.  Make a large amount of rice in a rice make or on the stove so all you do is scoop and drop it into your containers.  Think about what you want your protein source to be and either grill, cook it, or bake it.  Then find your vegetable, keep is raw, steam it or boil it.  Frozen vegetables work great for meal prepping because they come in their own steamer bags and are microwave safe.

How important is meal prep?

Meal prep is one of the key ways to follow and maintain a healthy and balanced nutrition plan.  It provides the key elements of what to eat, how much to eat, and how often to eat when trying to achieve a balanced lifestyle.  You want to pick foods you like and can cook in large batches at a time, making the prepping part very easy and attainable.

How do meal preps work?

1. Pick the day you want to do all you batch cooking.  For me, I like to cook on Sunday’s then I have all my meal laid out and ready for my busy week ahead.
2. Decide what meals you want to meal prep.  You can meal prep all your meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  For me, I find it easiest to meal prep lunch and dinner.  Breakfast is attainable with some oatmeal and a protein shake that requires little time.
3. Keep everything stored in airtight, microwavable containers to maintain the freshness of all the meals you have prepped.  This is very important.  I love to use these Meal prep containers.
