Meal prepping can be hard at times, but a little practice and time dedicated to being in the kitchen can go a long way. I typically only cook 3 days a week and have enough food made to last the entire week. If you are looking at simplifying your time spent in the kitchen, or want ideas on how to eat better using meal planning and meal prep techniques, then consider working with a Registered Dietitian. We are experts in meal planning and healthy eating!
