The Science of Meal Prepping

Ok, so here's the thing. Most people would never take the time to even think about prepping food for a day, let alone 3-4 days or a weeks worth of food. Here's why I do it:

1. Time
I have no time to prep, cook and clean after every single meal. That alone takes anywhere from 20-1hr+ easily! while when meal prepping, if you learn to master it like I have (yes, I'm very proud of my meal prep skills haha). It can take you anywhere from 2-4hrs. Plus, it saves time from guessing what to eat.

2. Eating right
If you have good food, you'll eat good food. If you have bad food while having good food ready for you, it will end up spoiling and you'll think twice before eating badly again because you, for one, made probably bad choices with your food when you had a perfectly healthy meal already made and ready for you, and number two, don't waste food! there's tons of people out there in the world starving everyday, it breaks my heart when anything edible ever goes bad on me :( true story.

3. Cost efficiency
Think about this for a bit.. if you add what you spend on good quality food you get on the go in a day.. that could potentially buy you food for the entire week. No kidding! one good salad at a descent place with good ingredients is at least $4. Now, you're not just gonna have a salad all day, if you do, you're a freak of nature, consult me for some diet tips please! anyhow.. lets say you have maybe a coffe from starbucks one of their egg white veggie burritos or such that easily is about $6, salad and nuts for lunch that is proabably another $6-10 dollars, (I've spent over $15 on a good salad before and it was so goooood, but not worth $15.. I guess you have to pay the price of conveniency and lazyness.. that and being on the go.. :/) ok, now for a snack or so lets say you grab a cup of fruit and maybe a veggie juice/smoothie, that is another $6-8, for dinner lets say you have some chicken and veggies from whatever place.. that is another $10-20 dollars for sure! so in total.. im not gonna do the math for you but.. hopefully you get my point.

I don't know if I need more reasons why but ever since I've meal prep, I've loved it and I hate when I don't get to do it for what ever reason.

Most people don't do something that they want because they have no idea where to start, they are lazy or they are not motivated. I may not be able to help with laziness and I may not be able to motivate you enough but I sure can guide you through the process in very simple ways.

So, what I'll be doing from now on, and I will do my best to do this, I will log what I do as far as meal prep. For instance, what I shop from my groceries, what I do to prep prior to meal prepping and what sort of servings I use.

Now, be aware that this is to guide you and hopefully motivate you to start doign meal prep. The foods I eat may not be the ones suitable for your specific needs but you're always welcome to email me for a consult and I can assist you.

So, my next meal prep day is tomorrow and I'll be posting about it tomorrow. So, stay tuned!
