MAKING MEAL-PREP EASY A QUICK GUIDE TO SOLVING MEAL PREP PROBLEMS

WHY DO WE MEAL PREP?

Meal prep takes the guesswork out of daily life helping you stay on track for the long haul. It contributes to a more nutritionally balanced diet through pre-planning meals in advance.

WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN?

First things first, you need to figure out your end GOAL.

Do you want to:

• Lose fat,

• Gain weight

• Maintain your current weight,

• Improve athletic performance, or

• Build strength

Whatever your goal, the essential factor for success is eating an adequate amount consistently.

DO THESE FIRST:

1.Choose your Goal | Decide how many meals per day

Align your targets to support your goals.

Are you eating for weight loss, athletic performance, or

maintenance? (if you’re unsure reach out to me, I can help) Then, decide how many meals you want to eat in your day. Example: Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner.

2. Which meals will you prepare? | Find recipes you like

Decide which meals you’d like to prepare, and have them

ready to grab and go. Will it just be lunch and dinner (because you have the time in the morning) or will it be Breakfast and lunch, (because dinner gets made after work?) Now, scroll Pinterest, or Instagram and find some cool recipes you

would like to have for that week.

NOW WHAT?

3. Grocery List | Check Pantry | Go Shop

Compile a list of ingredients required for each recipe you've discovered. Next, inspect your pantry to identify which items you already possess from the list. Procure the

remaining items that are not in your pantry. Unpack Everything you Need and Group them together. On your kitchen counter, group the ingredients you need for lunch together, in a separate pile, group your breakfast stuff together, and in a third, group your dinner ingredients together.

ABSOLUTE MUST HAVES

1. Tupperware for food storage.

2. Fridge space to store cooked food.

3. Uninterrupted time to prepare.

4. Groceries and any fresh ingredients required for cooking.
   

THE UNTOLD SECRET

TIME MANAGEMENT is key. Learning to multi-task is how you win the meal prep game!

Prioritize what takes the longest to cook, and what demands the most attention.

Example- Put a pot of rice on the stove, and a tray of vegetables in the oven first.

WHILE THAT’S COOKING, chop up onions, peppers, meat, or weigh your oats into each

container for the week. Its a process made simple - you can thank me later
