Food prep is perhaps one of those things that maybe you’ve read about, but it seems too complicated, or too much work. If you are on a fitness journey and feel that you don’t have time to food prep, you actually don’t have time not too prep.
Food prep saves an incredible amount of time. By cooking things in bulk, measuring out foods, putting them all in containers, and cooking your meals before hand, you are not only setting yourself up for success, but you are saving so much time.
When you don’t prep it’s easy to pick up some food on your way home from work, swing through a drive thru on your way to work, and start undoing all the work that you are putting in at the gym. Food is the number one thing that will get you in the shape you want to be in. I talk about this all the time at Bones to Bulk.
Take a day that you are off and make a list of everything you are going to eat for the week and make a shopping list. Then go shopping. When you get home, don’t bother putting things away, start prepping! Cook your meats, cook soups, stir frys, then divide it all up into containers. Cut up vegetables, put your snacks in ziplocks or containers. Figure out breakfast, if you are doing smoothies, prep them, and make them the day before. Get your lunch together the night before work. In this week’s podcast I talk more about this.
Every step you can take to prep your food is going to get you one step closer to your goal. So don’t skip the prepping.
