What is it?

Let’s first start this with the question, “what is meal preparation” Meal prep is any preparation of food or a meal in advance of it being served and consumed, meal prep is usually prepared 3-7 days before consumption, depending on food type and use by dates, it is essentially preparing foods now, to save time later.

Meal prepping is about to make your life a WHOLE lot easier! There are many benefits to meal preparation, and some of these are as follows;

TIME SAVER

You will save time- instead of wasting time trying to work out and decide what to cook, pre-preparing your meals ensures you always have a meal accessible and ready to go, weather it is for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack.

You will also waste less food each week, by pre planning what you are going to eat for every meal, it allows you to go to the shop with a clear list of what you need, and this will lead to you only buying what you need for your list, allowing for much less waste (if any)

What else can it do to help me?

Pre planning your meals is also a great money saver, with a similar respect to the above saving food waste, going to the shop with a list and sticking to it, allows you to only buy what you need from the list, instead of buying extras, or things that don’t go together that you will eventually end up throwing away anyway,

Meal preparation also allows you to manage your portion sizes better for each meal, so many people over cook the quantity of food needed for each meal, which in turn leads to waste, or over eating (neither of which are a good thing) Meal prepping is scientifically proven to aid in the management of hunger, one of the key benefits is to have access to a pre portioned meal as soon as you are hungry, reducing the risk of binge eating and snacking while you cook your meal.

Preparing meals is also used by people on their fitness journeys, allowing them to pan meals well in advance, with the nutrients they need to get them through the day is a great benefit, if you are aiming for 150g of protein a day for example, and you know your pre portioned meals account for all of the required protein, then you can simply relax and enjoy your meals without having to worry about hitting your daily targets.
