Meal Prep

Meal prep, or meal preparation, is the practice of planning, cooking, and portioning meals in advance, typically for the week ahead. It is a strategy often used to save time, ensure healthy eating, and reduce food waste. Meal prep can involve batch cooking, where large quantities of food are made and divided into individual servings, or simply preparing ingredients ahead of time for quicker assembly of meals throughout the week.

Commonly prepped foods include proteins like chicken or tofu, grains such as rice or quinoa, and a variety of vegetables. This approach is popular among busy professionals, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet without the daily hassle of cooking. Meal prep not only promotes better nutrition but also helps individuals adhere to dietary goals by providing convenient, ready-to-eat meals that align with their health and wellness objectives.
