    Meal Prep - Mark Evans

    Chapter 1. Meal Prepping Explained

    Meal prepping is: buying fresh ingredients, cleaning/rinsing these, and then slicing these as soon as possible. Ingredients are sorted into individual containers, and stored either in the fridge or freezer. Some ingredients need to be precooked (e.g. boil eggs, blanch vegetables, etc.) or cooked thoroughly (e.g. bread, soups, stews, etc.) so assembly, serving, and consumption becomes faster. This makes it easier to create full meals later in the week without having to make everything from scratch.

    Meal prepping is like making homemade bento lunches, frozen dinners, or instant ramen bowls using fresh, local ingredients but with minimal spending and using only whole food.

    Benefits of Meal Prepping

    Meal prepping provides loads of free time within the week. Because ingredients for different drinks, meals, or snacks are already sliced and portioned out, these can be cooked or consumed quickly. This is a boon for people with extremely busy schedules, as this removes the most tedious parts of trying to lose weight, like: limiting portions per serving, and deciding what to cook or serve per meal.

    Saving money on food and groceries becomes easier.

    The common practice of buying, underutilizing, and throwing out uneaten food in large volumes is extremely wasteful both on one’s budget and on the planet’s resources. This is evidenced by the numerous limp vegetables in the fridge and the overripe fruits on the kitchen counter that are unlikely to be consumed within the week.

    According to a 2015 study: in the USA alone, up to $165 billion worth of fresh produce are thrown away yearly. That’s 35 million tons of food that gets dumped in the landfill.

    By meal prepping, only ingredients needed for a week’s worth of planned meals are to be purchased. This saves almost three-quarters of the usual weekly food budget. This lessens the amount of garbage (from unused food,) and rubbish (from food packaging.) 

    By simply creating healthy meals at home, consumption of harmful ingredients from processed food that cause unwanted weight gain are greatly reduced. These include: food additives (e.g. artificial colors and flavors,) preservatives, and overly refined starches.

    Consumption of salt and sugar is reduced as well. This is helpful when trying to quickly shed off unwanted
