Wish you could open your fridge to find a full week of healthy, delicious food prepped and ready to be eaten?
That sure would make sticking with your diet and achieving fat loss a lot easier…
Here’s my 5 Step Meal Prep Guide to make your prepped food dreams a reality:
Step One: Plan
Get out your notebook and pen or pull up a blank note page on your iPad, it’s time to start planning for the week. Here are the questions that you’ll need to answer:
1. How many meals do I need each day?
2. How many servings do I need for each meal?
Step Two: Find Recipes
Now it’s time to translate those meals + servings into actual recipes. Take a moment to consider the produce that is in season and any special requests or food allergies.
1. Find your recipes
2. Focus on a core group of ingredients
3. Calculate leftover meals
4. Make your list
Step Three: Grocery List
Take your list of recipes and create a grocery list. A few things to keep in mind…
1. Pay attention to recipes that you’ll double or triple
2. Organize your list into these convenient sections:
3. Check your pantry for items that you already have
Step Four: Shopping – or Grocery delivery App!
It’s time to head to the grocery store or to pull out your phone and open your favorite grocery delivery app to gather all of the ingredients that you need.
Step Five: Food Prep
You have options when it comes to the actual prep of each of your meals. Many you’ll be able to fully make right away and pack in the fridge. Other recipes you’ll want to simply do the chopping, measuring and organizing in order to make the meal hot and quick before you plan to eat it.
Which recipes should you fully cook in advance? The truth is that this is really up to you and your schedule. Here’s a good game plan if you don’t want to fully cook everything on Sunday:
