How to set yourself up for healthy eating success


If your plan to churn out healthy homemade dinners all week tends to come completely unraveled by Thursday (thank goodness for that box of macaroni and cheese you found in the back of the cupboard), you’re not alone. Healthy eating can easily fall by the wayside when you’re juggling a busy schedule and lots of responsibilities.

One trick that many healthy eaters swear by to save time and keep them on track? Meal prepping.

If what immediately comes to mind is an image of bland chicken breast, rice and green beans perfectly portioned out into a week’s worth of containers, try not to give up on the idea just yet.

While that’s one way to meal prep, it certainly isn’t the only way. In fact, there’s no one magic formula for meal prep — and that’s the beauty of it. It’s a strategy that can be adapted to each person’s unique schedule and lifestyle to help you become more efficient in the kitchen.
