Prepping food for the week is one of the most effective ways I stay on track when it comes to eating healthy and to avoid mindless overeating. If you need meal prep ideas for weight loss, here are the six foods I make ahead every Sunday.
I’m plant-based so my protein choices are beans, whole grains, and tofu, but if you eat meat, cook that instead. I also prep lots of fresh and cooked veggies since the fiber helps me feel satiated and the nutrients keep me energized. This takes me a few hours on Sunday afternoon, but it’s one of my favorite times of the week! I put on Netflix and enjoy this relaxing time alone in the kitchen. Starting the week with a packed fridge is so satisfying, and knowing I have healthy foods prepped saves time and makes life so much easier.
