Meal Prepping is essentially, preparing all of your meals ahead of time. It’s kind of like ready-meals, except instead of buying them pre-made from a shop, you prepare them all yourself, with much healthier ingredients and better portions and know exactly what goes into them. Not only will meal prepping save you time, it’ll help ensure that you eat healthier instead of grabbing a quick meal of prepackaged, unhealthy, processed rubbish. The main idea is that because you’ll have healthier things ready and easy for you to eat you’ll eat them instead of harmful foods which is why it also helps those looking to lose or control their weight because it helps you to avoid snacking!!
As a beginner, meal prep can be overwhelming and far too often people become stressed thinking they need to go all out, comparing their meal prep to others, and trying to incorporate too many things at once. The key to success in meal prepping is to stay away from all of that and stick to the basics that work for you. For example, start by prepping with the recipes you already know and build up from there when you are ready.
Meal prep can be as little as cutting up vegetables ahead of time ready to throw in a pan or cooking a full meal and freezing it, whatever makes it suitable to you and helps you save time is totally fine, don’t worry about what everyone else is doing.
See, meal prep isn’t so scary now, is it?
