Food, Meal Prep & Recipes

Grocery shopping

“Food like products” are located in the center aisles of almost all grocery stores. These aisles typically stock processed foods. Boxed, bagged, and canned foods are usually processed and full of preservatives. Other than coffee, tea, spices, nuts, grains, and water, most of the other stuff in those aisles are the main cause of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Why are there more processed foods available in most grocery stores? Because America is addicted to both the food, and the convenience. Doritos and Oreos are delicious, in my opinion, but they’re absolutely horrible for your health. They’re also very convenient as you can simply grab the bag and start eating. Same goes for cereal, meals in a bag, frozen dinners, canned foods, etc. Most people are going with the quick and easy meals now-a-days, trading their health for convenience.

Meal prepping

Preparing and packaging meals ahead of time is a great way to maintain healthy eating habits. Fitway recommends choosing a day and time (eg; Sundays, 3pm-6pm) that you’ll adhere to each week. Chicken breasts, pork chops, and roasts are great for multiple meal planned cooking. A typical baking sheet will hold 9 breasts or pork chops. That’s enough protein for at least 9 meals. A 3 pound roast (made in a crockpot) is enough protein for at least 8 meals. 4 cups of barley (made in an intsapot) is enough carbohydrates for 8 meals. 1 pound of broccoli is typically enough vegetables for 5 meals. Etc, etc. There’s a couple of different ways to go about packaging the bulk amount of food you’ve made. Some people like to store each food group in it’s own large sealed container (tupperware), taking the appropriate amount of each food (to make a plate) whenever a meal is needed. This is fine if you’re at home during the day. Some people like to individually package an entire meal in smaller meal size containers. This method works especially well for people on the go.
