Study Notes

Meal prep is a helpful tool for healthy eating amidst hectic weekday schedules. By planning and preparing meals ahead of time, you can save time, eat well, and make the most of your grocery shopping. Here are some tips and strategies for meal prep:

  1. Plan your meals: Start by planning your meals for the week. Discuss with your family what types of foods and favorite meals they like to eat. Collect healthy recipes and record them in a calendar or spreadsheet

  2. Organize your meal prep day: Plan your meals ahead of the trip to the grocery store. On your meal prep day, focus first on foods that take the longest to cook, such as proteins like chicken and fish, and whole grains like brown rice and quinoa

  3. Make-ahead meals: Prep whole meals in advance, which can be refrigerated and reheated at mealtimes. This is particularly handy for dinnertime meals

  4. Batch cooking: Make large batches of a specific recipe, such as a soup or a pasta dish, which can be used for several meals

  5. Select your meal prep method of choice: Everyone can find a suitable meal preparation style. The most popular ways to meal-prep include make-ahead meals, single recipe meal preps, and meal planning

  6. Stick to a schedule: Pick one day each week to do your meal planning, shop for groceries, and cook

  7. Organize your prep and cook times: Start with the recipe requiring the longest cook time, and focus on the rest. Reserve the cold meals for last, as they can easily be made while the other meals are cooking

  8. Foods that work well for meal prepping: Cooked grains and pasta, cooked beans, cooked meat, roasted vegetables, hearty fresh vegetables, whole fruit, nuts and seeds, cheese, and sauces and dips

  9. Foods that don't usually meal prep well: softer fruits and vegetables, crunchy items like fried food, crackers, or chips

  10. Start with a single recipe meal prep: Once you're comfortable with meal prepping, try prepping your breakfast ahead or preparing two or more meals at a time

Meal prep can be a great tool to help you eat well and save time. By planning and preparing meals ahead of time, you can make the most of your grocery shopping and make healthy eating more manageable
