Meal Prep Tips & Tricks 1.1

April 23, 2019 by Christopher Douglas

macro friendly foodsHere are some examples of how to prep for multiple meal options in large quantities, without taking all day! (*Some food items below may not be what you are able/prefer to eat, but these are some general examples of ways to help you meal prep for the week)

**Pinterest is a great source for additional meal/meal prep ideas! Especially if you have a specific way of eating you prefer (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc)

Here we go!

Have a large batch of rice cooking in the rice cooker

Have chicken, pork, steak, or fish cooking on the stove top, crock pot, or grill

Have a ground turkey, ground chicken, ground beef, or ground sausage in a skillet on the stove

Have veggies, potatoes, or yams cooking on cooking sheets in the oven (or air-fryer!)

Hard boil eggs in a pot on the stove

Have steel cut oats, quinoa, or pasta cooking in another pot on the stove

Separate lettuce or spinach into large bowls/buckets for salads — Add measured out toppings (nuts, cheese, crumbled up bacon, fruit, etc)

Prep smoothie items in individual bags ready to be blended (Greens, Fruits, Protein Powder, etc)

You can even pre-cook some bacon or turkey bacon in the microwave

Once all your food is cooked…

Divide your protein sources into manageable serving sizes

Divide your carb sources into individual containers for your serving sizes

Add any seasonings/sauces you like – this is where you can get creative with flavors!

Cut up fruit/veggies into serving sizes (4oz of strawberries, or 6oz of cucumber, etc)

Combine carb and protein sources (if you’d like!) Ex. Steak & Potatoes, Chicken & Rice, etc.

Or if you’d prefer to leave all your food in large containers and scoop out what you want for the day as you go along, go for it!
