Meal Prep

Most of you may have heard all about meal prepping, but what exactly is it? Meal prepping is a planning method that simplifies cooking and saves you time, it also allows you to closely monitor what you are eating and when. This is normally done by batch cooking food and measuring it out into individual portions that can be eaten throughout the week. Meal prep for Weight Loss is a wonderful method that will help you keep healthy and stay on track.

Benefits of Meal Prep 

You will waste less – if you are concerned about wasting food meal prepping is an excellent way to use up meat and vegetables and of course, reduce the amount of wasted food.

You may lose weight – meal prepping helps you control the amount of food that you place in each portion. When it’s time to eat you can simply take one measured portion of food out of the fridge. This reduces the risk of overeating and possibly going over your recommended calorie intake

You will save money – this will happen by planning out your meals and shopping specifically for the ingredients that will go into them. As well as this dedicating a few hours to prepping your weekly meals will reduce the amount of electricity that you use as you will not have to cook 2 to 3 meals daily.

You will go to the grocery store prepared – part of meal prepping is knowing exactly what you will be eating for the week. Therefore planning out shopping lists will allow you to be more organised and stress-free when you visit the store.

You will save energy and time – cooking every single day can be time-consuming and exhausting, especially if you are just

cooking for yourself. Meal prepping can save you this precious time and energy allowing you to spend more time doing the things you love

You will eat less junk – By meal prepping and always ensuring that there are healthy meals ready in the fridge you will be less likely to grab chocolates from the shop or order takeaways.

It can be delicious – meal prep doesn’t have to be boring! You can make some wonderfully delicious food by using fresh vegetables, spices and herbs.
