How to save Time & Improve Results with meal Prep – by Sophie Benbow

‘Meal Prep’ has a bad wrap. We get it, the thought of slaving away in the kitchen for hours, eating food that might not be to your liking, the organisation and so on. Does it have to be that way though?
Our new trainer Sophie Benbow has been meal prepping for quite some time and here she shares her tips.
‘Meal Prep’ is not a label everyone likes to use, I find ‘food organising’ is much more appropriate for me. It can mean different things for different people but for me ‘meal prep’ is a way to plan out exactly what I need to be eating throughout the week in my own way. It helps to keep me accountable, it helps with portion control and it actually helps me think outside the box and be inventive with what I want to eat (let’s face it,no-one likes bland, boring food eaten day in and day out).
I start with a meal plan, then a shopping list and then the prep (which usually take a few hours). Once I’ve written a few meal plans with a shopping list I can rotate these depending on my specific diet goals and what I feel like eating that week.
