Meal Prep

By Andrew Johnson

In this fast paced society of ours, we are always on the run. And as a result we can't always make the healthiest of choices. In the midst of our rush we often find ourselves trapped between the option of fast and unhealthy food or in running late for work, school, and life's other engagements. Many wish they could find some other way, but they have quite a hard time trying to find it. 

But I'm here to tell you that there is another way through this stressful and unprepared wilderness and it is called "Meal Prep". This ingenious strategy allows you to take the little bit of time that you have and make the most of it to prepare quality meals for the whole busy week ahead of you. All you need, for example, is just a little bit of free time once a week, maybe as little as 30 minutes, in order to make preparations of your meals in advance. 

These strategically focused preps take care of the hard work such as chopping vegetables and cooking meat in advance so that when it comes time to eat the only work that is left for you is the most basic of tasks, such as heating up the prepped meal in the microwave for 30 seconds. That's right, by taking 30 minutes out of your schedule sometime during the end of the week, you can successfully prep and pack fully made meals that can be finalized in less than a minute when it is finally time for you to eat. 

The only thing you need is some good Tupperware containers and perhaps a few plastic bags and you can have a fully made home cooked meal stocked up for when you need it. These wholesome meals will be much healthier for you than their quicker and more processed counterparts. They will also end up saving you a lot of money. 

Even if health wasn't an issue, just think of all the money you waste each and every time you go through the drive thru to get burgers and fries, when you could have clean and delicious food made from scratch right out of your home. In making homemade meals you are using a set amount of recipes that you can buy in bulk and use for the long haul. 

By the end of the month you will have saved a ton of money in the process. This book clearly explains that process to you, and further elaborates how you can make the most of the benefits that meal prepping can offer.

In this book you will find:

Detailed Meal Prep Strategies

Meal Preps for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Introduction: You Better Prep!

Have you ever heard the expression, preparing to fail is failing to prepare? This adage can reflect upon many instances of our hectic day-to-day routine. Being prepared is what gets us on the right track. Meal prep is basically just creating 2 or 3 meals at one time and then sealing them up in plastic containers so that they can be easily reheated for your meals the next day.

That way—just as the phrase implies—you will be prepared for your meals during the rest of the week. You don’t have to just grab things out of the fridge at the last minute and hope that they are healthy. With this plan you can have your readily made meals that fit right into your diet plan and caloric budget right there, ready-made for you. Just by having healthy, well balanced meals, with plenty of fruits and veggies, you can get yourself off on the right foot.

Many become so overwhelmed by their busy lives that they automatically default toward fast food and cheap microwave dinners. But having your meals prepped in advance can allow you to have wholesome and healthy meals in a short amount of time. And as good as it is for your health to prep, it is also good for your wallet since you will save all that money that would have gone to restaurants and wasteful junk food.

Billions of dieters all over the world have realized the potential of meal prepping, and have seen tremendous results with their weight loss as a result. Without taking into consideration the exact details of what you are consuming your dieting just isn’t going to be effective. So if you want to manage your meals, clean up your eating routine, and manage your weight in the process, you better get with the game plan folks, and you better prep!
