When it comes to meal prep, I’ve learned some important steps that really help me. It’s all about planning, organizing, and cooking smart. Here’s how I do it:
First, take some time each week to plan your meals.
Think about your busy days and what you want to eat.
I usually pick 2-3 types of protein, a variety of veggies, and a couple of carbs.
Make a menu that makes you excited!
Also, check out any recipes you want to try.
After planning your meals, write down what you need to buy.
I like to sort my list by sections—like fruits and veggies, meats, and grains.
This saves time at the store and helps you remember everything you need.
Get some good meal prep containers!
I prefer glass containers because they last longer and don’t get stains.
Make sure to have different sizes to fit your meals and snacks.
Set aside a few hours for cooking.
I like to play some music and enjoy the process.
Start with your proteins, like baking chicken or roasting chickpeas.
Then, cook your grains and veggies.
After cooking, it’s time to portion your food.
I usually use a kitchen scale or just guess, depending on how exact I want to be.
This helps keep track of calories if you're counting.
Label your containers with dates.
Then, put them in the fridge or freezer.
When you're ready to eat, you’ll have healthy, homemade meals waiting for you!
Meal prep makes my week easier—it saves time, lowers stress, and helps me eat better.
Happy prepping!
