Yes, I try to do meal prep the night before or do three or four days in advance. I like to utilize my freezer and freeze individual portions ahead of time.
Yes. I try to prepare everything I need for next day. I decide what I will be eating the next day, so I do not waste time and energy for deciding
Yes, because I have to make meals for my child lunch. It makes sense to get it done night before. Also, I would save time by having everthing prepared for breakfast. My objective in the morning is making more time in getting ready. Instead of rushing and sometimes I dont eat all my meal. Good Luck
I keep it simple. I make a breakfast burrito. I precook meat and/or vegetables on Sundays. I dice up potatoes, season them and bake them in an oven. I cook the egg each morning. Wrap it up in a tortilla and heat it up in the microwave. You can add almost anything to it. It only take the time to cook the egg and heat it up.
Typically for breakfast I make it that day. For lunch I really make it the night before or I get it ready to get together the night before, dinner is always when I come home from work or if I put it in the crockpot in the morning and it’s on low. My house smells delicious when I come home!
I like to prepare my meals in the morning, it is a good way to wake you up - the smell of the food, the cutting and preparation in the first hours of light... Of course you would gain more time for sleeping, if you did that the previous evening, it just depends on good administration of your time.
No... I never seem to be able to make time for that. The kids always need something and when they are in bed I flop onto the sofa!
I didn’t make my breakfast ahead, but I did make sure I had all the ingredients. We had granola and yogurt with bananas on top.
The way I prepare my meals for the week is by making protein-rich dinners throughout the week and taking the leftovers for lunch. I purchase groceries on Sunday and plan my dinners for the week; if I have time I try to prepare some of the processes ahead of time like cutting up vegetables for a Tuesday night stir fry. I try to make breakfast easy for myself by keeping protein-rich cereal, protein powder and milk in a cabinet at work.
I don’t due to family circumstances, but if I lived alone or if it were more convenient for me, I totally would. Instead however, right now, I eat something completely simple and requires no prep for breakfast, like healthy yogurt or a banana and a spoonful of peanut butter. For lunch, I buy something healthy at work, and dinner is prepared for me at home.
