Splitting my ‘go to’ salad over 2 bowls, so when I get hungry this afternoon I won’t just eat rubbish!
Meal prepping helps you stay consistent and saves time, especially if you’re busy with work or other committments.
Here’s how to get started:
Plan Ahead: Decide on your meals and snacks for the week based on your goals, using your Per4m Food Diary.
Batch Cook: Cook large portions of staple meals, to spread across your week.
Portion Control: Use containers to divide meals into appropriate portions, reducing the temptation to overeat.
Variety: Mix up your ingredients to keep meals exciting and nutrient-dense.
Snacks: Prepare healthy snacks to help you hit your goals. Protein shakes and snacks are a great option.
