Meal prepping shouldn’t seem like a chore but rather a way to organize what you are going to eat.
Why don’t more people prep their meals? Well, when meal prepping you must plan and that is enough for any busy person to say “no, thank you”. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Meal prepping shouldn’t seem like a chore but rather a way to organize what you are going to eat for the next few days.
Now, let’s talk about the 3 reasons why you should take our advice!
Meal Prepping will save you time! When you plan your meals, you will know exactly what you need to get at the grocery store (which means less time looking through every isle picking up anything and everything). Now that you have your grocery list you can go home and prepare all of your meals for the week which will save you time during the week when you: A. are trying to figure out what you want to eat and B. have to then cook it. Instead, all you do it grab your pre-portioned meal out of the fridge and you are good to go!
Ever order-out just because you have nothing in the fridge and don’t feel like cooking? Or are in a rush and don’t have time to cook so you grab some fast food? We have all been there! Everyone knows that ordering-out or going out to eat is much more expensive than cooking at home, but sometimes it’s the fastest and most convenient thing to do in the moment. One great reason to prep your meals is because you will always know you have left-overs in the fridge and can quickly microwave them.
Remember when we asked you if when you are in rush and don’t have time to cook do you just go and get some fast food? It happens to all of us, and it happens more than we’d like to admit! Meal prepping will help you to have a healthier option than ordering fast food. Not only does meal prepping help you eat healthier when you are on the go, but it makes you eat healthier in general. By planning and pre-portioning your meals you know exactly what you’re eating and how much you are eating.
BONUS: Get creative! Meal Prepping can be done for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!
