What are Some Healthy Food Prep Meals That Taste Good?
WHERE DOES THE TERM “MEAL PREP” COME FROM?
Meal prep is when you make a large batch of meals that will last for 4-5 days once or twice a week. Because you only cook a few times a week rather than every day, meal prep is a great way to save time. It’s also a great way to eat healthier: if you have a meal ready to eat in the fridge, you’ll be much less likely to stop at a fast food drive-through. You’ll also save money because cooking in bulk is less expensive, and it’s much less expensive than eating lunch at a restaurant. Let’s find out some healthy food prep meals that taste good.
CAN I KEEP MEALS IN THE FRIDGE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME?
Depending on the protein you are using, you should plan on making meals for 3-4 days during your meal prep sessions. If you are using seafood, you should never do more than three days’ worth, and sometimes only do two. You should prepare chicken and beef for 3-4 days at a time. So that the food doesn’t get soggy in the fridge, you should keep certain components like sauces separate until you are ready to eat.
