Meal Prepping is a great time-saving way to eat healthy during the week. The concept of meal prepping is to plan, shop, and cook your food for the week in a day. There are several benefits to meal prepping. First, it will save you tons of money. When meal prepping you can eliminate the option of eating out and making 3 or more unnecessary trips to grocery store.

The first step of Meal prepping is planning. Plan your meals and recipes ahead of time, so you know exactly what to get from the grocery store. You will likely buy everything you need and avoid spending too much money in the store. Another benefit of meal prepping is that it saves a lot of time. This can be even more beneficial to those who have work or school. It’s an easy grab-and-go process.

After you cook your food, separate them into reasonable portions and place them in separate containers for certain days of the week. Then, when lunch or dinner time comes, pop the container in the microwave, and you’re ready to eat. A tip for this would to buy a generous amount of Tupperware to make it easy for you. Containers can be fairly inexpensive online on a website like Amazon.  

Meal prepping also allows someone who is busy and has limited time, to remain healthy. It’s important to have veggies, protein, and whole grains to get as much nutrition as possible out of each meal. It also allows you to control your portion sizes. When you distribute your food in containers you can limit your chances of overeating.

Meal prepping is a great dynamic to add to your fitness routine. It will allow you to eat healthy, save money, and remain time conscious while juggling a busy work or school schedule.
