So last night I spent about 2 hours doing some food prep, or rather lunch prep as I always have some things ready at hand for quick dinners. Bag of plain chicken breasts, fish, frozen veggies etc. just ready to get cooked up in the evening. Lunches however, fresh veggies and stuff I can use as a main dish I need to have prepped ahead of time so I can grab it and go in the morning.
Food prep is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for clean eating habits.
- It makes it convenient to eat clean and healthy
- You prep for the week once then you're done
- You prep for the week once then you're done
- It saves time throughout the week for other things more important
- You can keep your diet varied very easily
Food prep consists of taking fruits and veggies and cutting them up and separating into baggies or containers for quick and easy access. Take out bags of cooked chicken for salads or wraps from the freezer for the week. Hard boil a big batch of eggs to have for the week.
This is just a few ideas and suggestions for what you can do for your own food prep.
Nutrition and your diet are a HUGE part of a healthy lifestyle. You can work out, hours every day and still not see any results if you're eating mainly processed foods, sugary foods, white flour breads and buns and little to no fruits and veggies in your diet.
Autumn Calabrese always says "Don't undo in the kitchen what you've done in the gym" which is actually super easy to undo. I struggle with that myself on a daily basis.
Losing weight is 80% nutrition, 10% genes and 10% training, or working out.

Clean eating can be tough, especially if you have no knowledge of what it is.

Dinner for tonight, basa with raw cauliflower and carrots. It may sound bland, but it's all in the flavours. Utilize spices, experiment and try new combinations. I love to use the basics, but sometimes will go for a little extra heat with my smoked applewood seasoning. Try something new and enjoy life!
