nutrition is key!

DO YOU MEAL PREP?
Why Meal Prep?
Be prepared; looking ahead and successfully meeting one’s goals is undeniable.
When it comes to what you eat and how you eat, preparedness matters if you want to reach your health and fitness goals. 
What is Meal Prep?
Meal prepping as preparing, cooking, or packaging food for three to four days in advance so you know exactly what and how much you are eating.
Having a healthy meal ready to enjoy can help you say no to unhealthy food choices. Tempted to go through the drive-thru on the way home to save time? 
No point when you’ve already got a delicious meal at home waiting for you! Taco truck pull up in front of the office again? 
No sweat — you’ve already packed a hearty lunch you’re looking forward to. Someone brought donuts to the office? 
Solve your snack craving with these meal prep snack ideas.

​How to Start Meal Prepping:
  • Start Small Planning ahead and prepping your meals can be a great way to make more healthy choices and avoid temptation! If you’re not used to cooking, you might want to begin with just prepping one or two days at a time. It can take a couple hours to get through the chopping, cooking and cleaning; you may be overwhelmed. 
  • Stock Up on Meal Prep Essentials (Grocery Store). 
  • Pick a Day to Meal Prep.
  • Come up with Easy Meals to Prep(Menu).
  • Prep & Pack your Food. Include some no-cook recipes in your meal prep. Snacks and foods that don’t require cooking (like salads and overnight oats) can help save time in the prep process. 
  • When prepping, use the oven to cook several things at once. Veggies can generally roast together, and there’s a reason that sheet pan dinners are becoming so popular.
  • Don’t shy away from the Crockpot or the Insta Pot. 
The best way to learn and understand this process is always to plan and prepare ahead of time.
