Nutrition
By Nancy Adler
Meal Prepping is essential for staying on your journey of weight loss and proper nutrition. When you plan and organize the upcoming weekly meals for you and your family you are planning for success. Meal planning doesn’t have to be daunting. I believe it’s a shift in prioritization. It’s working on your future self.
Without proper meal prep and planning, we end up grabbing and going. Impromptu eating can leave us at the mercy of whatever comes along such as fast foods, take out and easy to grab carbs. Making a fast, quick decision on what is going into our bodies can be stressful and lead to bad choices.
Having well thought out meals available in the freezer or refrigerator is the way to go! Whether we are sitting down to a meal or grabbing something nutritious on the way out the door, having a plan is key.
You will also waste less food when you prepare meals in advance. Have you ever gone to the grocery store and bought so much food only to end up having to throw it away? It happens a lot. If meals are planned out in advance and prepped, you’ll be sure to finish eating everything on the shopping list that week. Meal prep saves money and keeps you healthy.
