I have read tons of articles on meal prep. It is not that any of them are bad. Generally I feel like they give good advice. The one beef I have, though: Most articles list out every detail of the foods and ingredients, how to cook them, and even which tupperware to use. Do we really need to dumb it down this much? People go on and on about how easy this makes life, but is it really?
Meal prep is not easy, per se. But then again, it’s not hard work compared to building a house. I have found it is just something that you either works for you or does not work for you. However, if I see your diet is bad, and you cannot be held responsible to put that diet in check, then we are kind of left with one option–meal prep.

What to Buy
Buy healthy foods. That is it. What to buy is not the point of this article, it is how to meal prep.
I can say one thing about grocery shopping meal prep: make sure you only buy healthy food. If your spouse likes ice cream, then tell them when they want it, they can go get a sundae at the local dairy store. But don’t bring that gallon in your house.
Think of your kitchen like your stomach. You want the healthy stuff in your stomach; not the junk. If it’s in your kitchen, it’s going in your stomach.
How to Prep Made Simple
There are many ways, and I swear people will give a million different ways to do this “right.” I see meal prep day as cooking all your meals for the week in one day. That is it. That is your responsibility. You can food shop the day before if you want to, but you cook it and store it in one day.
I am not into easy steps. I feel like either you do it or don’t. Stop trying to trick me with numbers and easy steps to dumb it down for me. But people seem to like that, so here are your numbers and easy steps.
Once you do it one week you can’t stop. It’s kind of like a workout can be. Sometimes you don’t feel like doing it when it comes time, but once it’s over, you are actually very thankful you did, you feel great, and other people are happy for you.
