Published 1/1/2019 • Updated 12/23/2020 From healthy breakfast meal prep to healthy lunch ideas, get inspired with our favorite healthy meal prep recipes! I used to restrict my diet and cut out certain food groups that were higher in fat and calories because I didn’t think they were “healthy.” Finally, I got a grip and reminded myself that whole grains aren’t the devil and that it’s okay to eat ice cream. Now, instead of obsessing over restaurant visits or binging for dinner because I am too stressed to take a breather and make something healthy, I meal prep. That way I have no worries and I get to eat delicious meals without stress. People ask me all the time why and how I meal prep. There are countless reasons, but to be more specific, I meal prep because…
Reasons to Meal Prep
Accessibility – I love having accessible, healthy, and delicious meals ready to eat after a long day of work. Structure – I am a creature of habit, but because my job can be so sporadic, meal prep helps give structure to my week. Intentional Time – I know that Sundays or Mondays are my meal prep day. Setting time aside to meal prep really slows me down and allows me to be intentional about my time and what I put into my body. Healthy Snacking – I love to snack. Meal-prepping healthy snacks encourage me to snack healthy throughout the day. It’s no secret that I am a meal prepper. Almost every meal on FFF can be modified to be a healthy breakfast meal prep, lunch or dinner. Honestly, it makes my life so much easier! Some of FFF’s most popular themed weeks were created for people who need new + fun healthy meal prep ideas!
