Prep Successfully

Here’s our top steps to ensure that you always have success when prepping your meals:

• Step 1: Select your meal prep method of choice: This can also be a combination of methods and should be based on your lifestyle and nutrition goals.
• Step 2: Stick to a schedule: Pick one day each week to do your planning, shop for groceries, and cook.
• Step 3: Pick the right number of meals: Bear in mind your calendar and the restaurant meals you’ve planned for the week.
• Step 4: Select the right recipes: Keep an eye out for variety and preparation methods. When starting out, stick to recipes you already know.
• Step 5: Reduce the time you spend on grocery shopping: Make a grocery list organized by supermarket departments or shop for groceries online.
• Step 6: Spend less time in the kitchen: Choose which meals to cook first based on cook times.
• Step 7: Store your meals: Use safe cooling methods and appropriate containers. Refrigerate meals you’re planning to eat within 3–4 days, then label and freeze the rest.
