7 Keys to Meal Prep
Meal Prep is absolutely essential for your long term success and health goals. Setting aside the time on a regular basis will help you achieve what you desire with your physique.
Through my experience of seeing people struggle to hit their health goals it comes down to failure to plan to do the little things it takes in order to reach the end goal.
Keys to meal prep:
- Know your what your end result or goal is with your health.
- Know what the time frame you have to achieve your goal.
- Understand the Macro nutrients of food (carbs, protein, fats).
- Define what foods you enjoy and would be willing to eat.
- Know how many days you are preparing for and for what meals you are planning.
- Be creative and make sure to have lots of Tupperware. (6 Pack Fitness Containers or amazing).
- Having a good food scale!
Meal prepping is extraordinarily rewarding because you will feel accomplished, organized, and understand exactly what you are putting in your body knowing you are accomplishing your goals one meal at a time.
I have attached a YouTube Video of a Meal Prep Session we did the other day in order to set ourselves up for success for the future.
