Another day of no hiccups.
I think I’ve been doing meal-prep wrong because it simply isn’t working for me, and I’m convinced it should be. As a chronic planner, I enjoy the idea that I can prepare a variety of meals to be kept for up to five days, and I’m determined to make it work.
In response to this, I’ve been researching effective meal-prep techniques. Some helpful tips are; store different food stuffs separately. Rather than storing your rice, gravy and spinach as a meal in the same container, store each food in a separate container. This will help with the preservation and freshness of the food.
Also, give yourself options. Don’t be so hard on yourself that you suffocate under the rigidity of the same meal three nights a row. Prepare a few containers of the food you enjoy, paying particular attention to variety and compatibility.
For this week, I’ve outperformed all my previous attempts at meal-prep but still have tons to learn. Today, I had a vegetable soup in the morning, a banana at midday, and an energy bar in the afternoon.
