Your step-by-step guide to effective meal prepping

Pick your perfect meal prep day

The first step to successful meal prepping is dedicating a specific day. Many find Sunday or Monday ideal for preparing meals, setting you up for a week of healthy eating. Choosing a consistent day helps you build a routine and stick to your goals, even when life gets hectic.

Plan your nutritious meals

Decide which meals you want to prep: breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a combination. Consider who you’re cooking for to ensure proper portions and a variety of delicious, balanced meals. Advanced planning takes the stress out of daily cooking and helps you maintain a healthy diet.

Create your smart shopping list

Before heading to the store, make a detailed shopping list. Utilise the UBX Training Camp app to help organise your plan. Check your pantry to avoid duplicate purchases and adjust recipes based on the number of servings. Prioritise seasonal ingredients for freshness and cost-effectiveness, and don’t hesitate to swap items to stay within your budget.

 

Choose the best meal prep containers

Invest in high quality, airtight containers. Look for clear, BPA free options that are safe for the microwave, dishwasher, and freezer. The right containers are essential for keeping your meals fresh, visible, and delicious all week long.

Minimize food waste & prioritise safety

Maximise your fridge space by prepping in batches. Pay close attention to recommended storage times for each meal. Proper food storage is key to ensuring your meals remain fresh, safe, and enjoyable throughout the week.Unlock Your Meal Prep Potential

Meal prepping doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little planning, the right tools, and smart shopping, you can effortlessly save time, eat well, and significantly support your fitness journey.
