The Advantage of meal prep
If one should look at advantages of meal planning, you could easily go down a rabbit hole, as there is no ending. Planning meals helps you manage your time better and makes meal preparation easier and keep your fitness game on point. It can turn a hectic week into one that is nearly stress-free. It also helps you improve your own personal health. Meal planning is so important, fitness experts and those preparing for fitness competitions consider it a must, there is no order way of life. They not only plan their meals down to the ounce, they spend better part of at least one day each week prepping those meals.
TIPS FOR MEAL PREP

1. Schedule time to plan. Set aside 30 minutes each week to schedule your meals and create a shopping list. Schedule your meal planning time just like you schedule all other important events in your life. This is also the best time to schedule your workouts so you're sure that you get enough exercise to lose weight faster.

 

1. Shop and cook. After you've planned healthy meals, then it's time to go shopping. Many dieters do this immediately after they fill out their meal plan so that they are fully stocked for a week of healthy eating. Then you can organize your refrigerator with diet-friendly foods so it's easy to find the foods that'll help you lose weight/gain muscles.

 

1. Post your plan. Your healthy weight loss/muscles gain plan won't do any good if it's sitting in a drawer buried beneath bills. So once you've filled out your form, post it in a place where you see it every day. It will serve as a reminder of your food choices and of your commitment to reach a healthy weight.

 

1. Prep foods in advance. To make sure you stick to your diet plan, organize your meals in advance. You can do this after dinner in the evening. Lay out the foods you'll eat for breakfast so they are ready to go when you wake up. Then pack your lunch and snacks for the next day. Finally, do any meal prep for the next night's healthy dinner so that it's easy to throw together when you come home from work.

 
Keep in mind that the first time that you sit down and plan meals to lose weight/build muscle the process will take a little longer. But once you have your system in place, you'll breeze through the ritual you might even start to enjoy it. Getting organized feels good and reaching your weight loss goals feels even better. So take the prep steps to stay on track.
