Best practices for meal prepping include planning meals in advance, using balanced nutrition, and ensuring food variety. Start by choosing recipes that are easy to prepare and cater to dietary preferences. Allocate specific times for cooking, and prepare larger batches to save time. Use containers that are portion-controlled to avoid overeating and facilitate quick meals during the week. Incorporating different flavors and ingredient rotations can help prevent meal fatigue. Additionally, label and date meals for organization and to ensure freshness, making healthy eating more convenient.
