Preparing meals BEFORE you're starving is a way to set yourself up for success and make sure you're consuming a nutritious diet daily with minimal errors.
Plan ahead. Creating and executing a plan is key meal prepping. Figure out what meals and snacks you want to eat each week and make a grocery list of what ingredients are needed. Nothing more, nothing less.
Don't overcomplicate it. Making sure you choose meals that aren't super time-consuming helps you in the long run. Planning a meal should consist of three main components that are dependent on your preferences:
A protein source (meat, fish, tofu)
A vegetable source (1 cup)
A carbohydrate (potatoes, rice, pasta, quinoa)
Choose meals based on foods you actually enjoy. Don't like certain foods? Here's a suggestion: don't eat those and eat something you actually like so you're not constantly dreading your next meal. Find something you like & repeat it!
