Extreme Veteran  608  |  Subject: Food PrepDoes anyone do food prep on Sunday for the week? If so what are some of the thing you prepare for your week? I start back to school this week and I was thinking of getting several meals prepped for the week. I'm also going to force myself to keep a structured fitness goal throughout this semester. I would like to be down at least 30lbs by May. It's still very cold here, but I will get outside and walk/run to 10 degrees, when that hits I'm indoors. Good-luck staying in your fitness and nutrition goals this week!! Amy Mutz Haubstadt, Indiana USA |

Amy Mutz Haubstadt, Indiana USA Hi Amy, you are in the right track; a smart way of meal preparation would make your goal achievable. I have been a prepper for some time now, since I was competing for contest several years ago. I discovered a minimum 2 times a week of cooking is the most efficient way of doing. Preferably 2 to 3 meals per cooking consisting of carb based meal (potato, rice, sweet potato, pasta), protein based meal (roast chicken, beef stew, fish pie), and vegetable based meal (vegie stir fry, salad). I usually cook them in the amount of 10 portions, that means 10 days if I ate them once a day. I always cook them half-done and immediately store them in plastic container in the fridge. Everytime I would like to eat something, I take them out and put it in the microwave. You could try as many combination you like, for me 3 meals with a balanced micronutrients meal works the best. This method saves time and money BIG TIME. All the best, N.J. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Food Prep When I take the time to do it, I like to try to do snack and meal prep ahead of time. Snack prep: veggies or fruit cut up and put in individual serving baggies; makes it easy to grab one quickly when packing a lunch or on the go. Examples: grapes, carrots/broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper strips. Buy or prepack dip or hummus, too for those veggies. Meal prep: soups are stoopid easy to make a big batch of and package for daily use or freeze for future quick use. I often make a huge pot of, say, chili and freeze it immediately in single serving containers. Makes it super easy to grab one for lunch or supper. I also pre-make chicken breasts for topping a salad or as hot meals along with some veggies and rice or quinoa or potatoes. |

| 8 Bakersfield, California | Subject: RE: Food Prep I don't necessarily cook my food on Sundays for the week, but my wife and I plan out all of our meals for the week and do our shopping. I always make sure that we cook enough dinner to have left over protein for my lunch the next day. I also rely on rotisserie chickens from Costco. 4 meals minimum from each chicken for $5. I so rely on single snack packs for hummus and avocado. We also hit the farmer's market to make sure there is fruit and some special things. |
