These are the principles I use every week!

Make a plan, keep it simple!

 

#1 – Start Small – Start with just one meal.  Don’t feel like you have to do all your meals and snacks at once. Which meal do you skip most often? Start there.

#2-Plan Ahead-  Put meal prep in your schedule.  90 minutes is what you need or 2 – 45 minute time slots.  Put them in your calendar and do not move them.

#3 – Mix it up – Pick 2 Proteins – 2 Carbs and 2 veggies  season with your favorite seasonings or sauces ( be sure to track them if need be).

#4- Change it up – use different methods to cook your proteins, carbs or veggies.  Grill. Sauté, broil, pressure cook. There are so many different ways to enjoy the same thing. You’ll love the variety!

#5 – Batch it!  If you don’t have the time to “full on” meal prep and portion it all out. Batch cook at least your protein.  Cook 2-3 pounds for the week and then pull from that as needed.  Form there you can lean on pre-cooked rice and frozen veggies if needed.
