Why meal prep helps
Meal prep reduces friction by making the next good choice easier. Even light prep, such as chopping vegetables or cooking one protein ahead, can help a lot.
You do not need to prepare every meal in advance to benefit from this approach.
- Prep building blocks, not just full meals
- Use containers and clear labelling for simplicity
- Rotate flavours so meals do not feel repetitive
Start small
Cook one grain, one protein, and a tray of vegetables, then combine them in different ways across the week.
