Why Should I Meal Prep?
• It’s all about a well-balanced diet, and meal prepping can help with portion control. It’s a great way to ration out the perfect amount to cook or eat each day.
• With airtight or sealed containers, you can keep ingredients and food fresher for longer, and worry less about them spoiling too soon.
• You’ll already know your lunch or dinner menu! Pre-cooking meals for the week takes the stress—and time—out of figuring out what to eat every day.

What Tools Do I Need?
From prepping to storing, here are useful tools and gear you should invest in to make meal prepping a breeze.
• A set of heavy-duty reusable storage containers, preferably ones that are microwave, freezer and dishwasher-safe.
• A food scale to help precisely and accurately weigh the ingredients you need and to measure out the servings for each meal.
• Measuring cups and measuring spoons in a wide range of sizes—no more eyeballing amounts!
• A set of knives to be able to cut, chop, dice or mince all types of foods and ingredients with ease.
• A cutting board or a set of boards with separate boards for different types of foods, which helps to prevent cross-contamination and provides the right cutting surface for knives.
• A slow cooker to easily cook up large batches of your favorite meats, veggies and stews to tender perfection without having to watch the stove.
