Picture this…you get home from work and you are feeling exhausted. You walk to your refrigerator to figure out what to make for dinner. You close the door…and order pizza. Uh oh!
Life can get busy and healthy eating often gets put on the back burner. Staying consistent with your goals can be tricky when you don’t have the time to dedicate.
With meal prepping, you not only save time and money, but you will reach your weight goals much easier.
Here are a few reasons you should meal prep:
1. Save that money!
Eating healthy does not have to be expensive. With the right planning you will save money by only buying what you need. You can utilize everything you bought and eliminate excess because you know exactly the amount you need. No one likes to throw out old produce!
2. Reach your weight goals
Planning your meals in advance is key to weight loss as you know exactly what you are putting into your body, and how much. A weekly meal prep routine allows you to control how many calories you are inputting everyday.
3. Save time grocery shopping.
Go in prepared with a list. Once you know what you will be making that week, you can get in and out without wandering around isles you don’t need to be in. Saving you time..and again money!
4. Portion Control is key
The beauty of meal prep is that it teaches you balance. Packing your meals in containers refrains you from being able to reach for more. If you want to lose weight and consume the right amount of nutrients, portion control is vital.
5. Get back your time
The best part about meal prep is that you get to choose ahead of time what you will be eating! So you don’t waste time deciding what to eat or cook. This will lead you to make healthier choices and avoid the temptation to consume junk food!
