Meal prep can be a fantastic tool if you want to stay accountable to your nutrition but are short on time throughout the week. When daily cooking isn’t feasible, meal prepping allows you to enjoy home-cooked meals without the extra time in the kitchen each day.

It ensures you are getting the required nutrients and calories to achieve your physique or health-related goals and helps mitigate the temptation of resorting to takeaway or quick, calorie-dense, and less nutritious options. Additionally, if you have strict body composition goals, meal prepping provides precise control over portion sizes, macronutrient balance and meal timing.
