Meal prep can be scary if you've never done it before. It took both of us a long time to pick up the habit and stick with it. And this is coming from 2 restaurant girls! So we get it! But bottom line is, it can help you stay on track. Even if you choose 1 dish to make. Start small and build up to a full weekly prep, if you choose. And please don't think you have to make boiled chicken, steamed broccoli and sweet potatoes every week. That's not a thing!
There are tons of options for easy meal out there that people don't always think of. You can buy some premade items and pair it with something homemade to save time. When you're really short on time you can order a family meal froma restaurant and divide it up into several portions. The possibilities are endless!
And don't think that you have to go into meal prep making everything super healthy. Try leveling up 1 or 2 ingredients at a time to make a dish a bit healthier. For example swap fat free greek yogurt for sour cream in a recipe. That's it, 1 ingredient. Then next time try something else.
Bottom line... don't over complicate it. If you make it too hard, you won't want to do it and you'll find every excuse to NOT do it in the coming weeks.
