Weekly Meal Prep
Check out these time-saving weekly meal prep strategies, used by Precision Nutritionâs most successful clients. And learn how they can help you prioritize healthy eating too.
Try to set aside 2-3 hours once a week to do the following.
- Look ahead to your upcoming schedule and see whatâs happening. What nutrition challenges or opportunities might pop up? Where might you need some special preparation in advance? What are the quiet and busy times? Etc.
- Come up with a general menu for at least the next few days. It doesnât have to be anything in-depth. Just get a basic sense of the food you might need to have on hand for the week ahead.
- Build your shopping list from your menu. This will help you be as effective and efficient as possible when you hit the grocery store, and youâll be less tempted to buy random (and non-goal-supporting) things.
- Hit the grocery store. Stock up on what you need for the week. Consider grabbing a few extra âjust in caseâ emergency items as well, such as canned beans, frozen vegetables, or other easily-stored healthy options that you can use in a pinch.
- Once youâre back home, start prepping and cooking. Whip up a batch of lean protein â for example, by grilling or roasting several chicken breasts/thighs at once. Try some one-pot meals that can be easily cooked in a slow cooker, then divided into containers to be frozen or refrigerated, such as soups, stews, curries, chili, etc. Wash and chop veggies.
The bottom line: Do what works best for you â your life and your goals.
You can mix and match all of these food ritual options, in any way that works for you. Anticipate, plan, strategize. This is the way of (what we call) the âPN warriorâ. Have fun!
