Meal prepping can be a great way to eat healthy all week long. But, it’s not always easy. Many people run into challenges that can mess up even the best plans for meals.

Time Limits

First, finding enough time for meal prepping can be tough. With work, family duties, and other commitments, it can feel impossible to set aside time just for cooking. When people rush through their meal prep, they often end up making meals quickly and without care, which can hurt their nutrition.

Solution: To make it easier, try breaking meal prep into smaller steps. Here are some ideas:

• Cook big batches of grains on one day.
• Cut up vegetables at another time.
• Put meals together in smaller portions over a few days.
