Ready To Eat

 


Wish you could open your fridge to find a full week of healthy, delicious food prepped and ready to be eaten?

That sure would make sticking with your diet and achieving fat loss a lot easier…

Here’s my 5 Step Meal Prep Guide to make your prepped food dreams a reality:

Step One: Plan

Get out your notebook and pen or pull up a blank note page on your iPad, it’s time to start planning for the week. Here are the questions that you’ll need to answer:

1. How many meals do I need each day?

  • Check your calendar for special events
  • Consider your appetite throughout the day
  • Look at each day separately

2. How many servings do I need for each meal?

  • Consider who in the family needs which meals
  • Check the calendar for guests or visitors
  • Look at each day separately

Step Two: Find Recipes

Now it’s time to translate those meals + servings into actual recipes. Take a moment to consider the produce that is in season and any special requests or food allergies.

1. Find your recipes

  • Browse around on your favorite recipe site
  • Pull out your favorite cookbooks
  • Find your family favorite recipes

2. Focus on a core group of ingredients

  • Plan recipes that use similar ingredients

3. Calculate leftover meals

  • Making enough of some recipes for leftover meals saves time

4. Make your list

  • Narrow down to the exact list of recipes

Step Three: Grocery List

Take your list of recipes and create a grocery list. A few things to keep in mind…

1. Pay attention to recipes that you’ll double or triple

  • Make sure to include all ingredients in your list

2. Organize your list into these convenient sections:

  • Meat/Seafood/Egg
  • Organic Produce
  • Herbs/Flavors
  • Pantry Items

3. Check your pantry for items that you already have

  • Save money by avoiding double purchases

Step Four: Shopping — or Grocery delivery App!

It’s time to head to the grocery store or to pull out your phone and open your favorite grocery delivery app to gather all of the ingredients that you need.

Step Five: Food Prep

You have options when it comes to the actual prep of each of your meals. Many you’ll be able to fully make right away and pack in the fridge. Other recipes you’ll want to simply do the chopping, measuring and organizing in order to make the meal hot and quick before you plan to eat it.

Which recipes should you fully cook in advance? The truth is that this is really up to you and your schedule. Here’s a good game plan if you don’t want to fully cook everything on Sunday:

  1. Fully make the baked goods for the week.
  2. Chop all vegetables.
  3. Gather all seasonings.
  4. Fully cook Monday’s dinner.

Getting into the habit of prepping your meals for the week is a surefire way to accelerate your fat loss results. It’s my goal to help people, just like you, conquer their fear of exercise and clear up their confusion with healthy eating. I know that a healthy life is within your reach — I’ve seen hundreds of my clients before you do it, and I’ll see hundreds after you do it. Today it’s your turn.

Call or email now to get started on an exercise program that will make fat burning second nature and will transform your body for the better.

Yours In Health,

Brian
