On the other hand, meal prepping can offer significant benefits for maintaining a nutritious diet
While meal prep does require some planning, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. For some, meal prep could involve preparing a hearty casserole that can be portioned out and enjoyed over several days. For others, it might mean cooking a big batch of brown rice and pairing it with different proteins and veggies each day.
Next, you need to choose a specific day to tackle your meal prep. And once everything is prepped, all you need to do is efficiently store the food. Registered dietitian Elyse Homan, MS, RD, LD,says, “I suggest using microwave-safe containers for those hot lunches. Mason jar salads are a fantastic option for keeping ingredients fresh for several days in the fridge.”
Not only does meal prepping save you time, but it can also help yousave moneyin the long run. Plus, it reduces food waste and makes it easier to stick to your nutrition goals.Think of all the benefits: you have meals ready to go, you’re less tempted to indulge in unhealthy options, and you gain peace of mind knowing you’re fueling your body right.
