Meal prep. 

I have gotten quite a lot of requests for information on how I meal prep and what I meal prep, so I thought it was about time I share this! So here's a sneak peak. 

I normally do my meal prep at night... and I do my big meal prep on Sunday's. Sunday's are when I cook up tons of chicken for the week, and I make a bunch of boiled eggs. I will also cut up lots of veggies for a veggie tray and to put in sandwich bags to take to work. Chicken... I get boneless chicken and fry it on the stove in a little bit of butter. Boiled eggs... put water in a pot, add eggs and a little bit of salt. When it starts boiling, boil it for 10 minutes. Let cool.  

Now for every night when I meal prep for the following day...

I like to switch it up a little. It gets boring when you eat the same things over and over again. Forreal. So try to make a variety of foods. I am going to make a list of foods for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, I normally eat 5-6 small meals/snacks a day. Meal prep usually takes me about 10 minutes. Some of my meals I make the day of, but most of them I have ready to grab and take to work with me! Everyone complains that they don't want to eat healthy because they don't have time... if it's a priority, you'll make it happen.

Tips 

Boiled eggs are good at room temperature for up to one week.

You should be drinking half of your weight in ounces of water daily. 

Focus on eating lots of proteins and vegetables. 

Healthy fats are great too (avocado, humus, mozzarella cheese)

My last tip, and my favorite tip, don't be to hard on yourself. Just focus on trying to get as many raw vegetables, protein, and water into your system as possible. It's okay if you mess up. It's okay to cheat every once in awhile. Eating healthy is a LIFESTYLE. If you never cheat, you're going to want to give up and go back to your old ways. Eating healthy will make you feel fantastic, make you live longer, and give you great skin!! So good luck!

Here's what a normal grocery trip looks like for me. Success.
