Meal Prepping Secrets That Make It Easier Than Ever

By Genevieve Cunningham

Have you ever tried meal prepping? If you've ever been serious about fitness, chances are good that you've given it a try, or at the very least, given it a consideration. For many, meal prepping is only a good idea in theory. When it comes to actually doing it, it feels too frustrating. Too time consuming. Too much work. But what if meal prepping was easy? What if it was a simple process that brought big health benefits? If you've ever had these sentiments, you're in luck -- meal prepping can be a simple practice with huge impact. To get started and make it easier on a daily basis, take a look at these tips for simple meal prepping starting today.

Start With a Day

For some people, the key to successful meal prepping is to start one single day at a time. Though many professionals will suggest a week's worth of food planning, it's a lot easier to start with a single day. Three meals. A few snacks. One day of calories and nutrients. If you can manage one day, you can eventually branch out and do a few days at a time -- or finally make it to that weekly mark. Slow and steady usually wins the race, and when it comes to meal prepping, this old saying rings true. 

Use Your Resources

You don't have to tackle meal prepping all alone. In fact, there are multiple resources out there just waiting to be used. Do a quick internet search to find ideas and tips. Ask a doctor. Ask a fitness professional at your local gym. Meal prepping can be a team effort. Create a team with solid resources, and the process becomes so much easier. 

Don't Get Fancy

When you do research on meal prepping, you're going to find a lot of information that seems complicated. Don't even worry with anything overly fancy. Instead, just stick to the basics. Fresh fruits and vegetables are always a good idea. Lean proteins -- things like chicken -- are always good. You don't have to count your macros or try an exotic food or do anything outside of your comfort zone. Meal prepping may be plenty out of your comfort zone! Stick with easy and simple and you really can't go wrong. 

If you've been considering meal prepping, it really is a good idea. It's a great way to get in shape, lose weight, and develop healthy habits. Use these tips to make it easier so that you can find the success you need in your health and life.
