A lot of people think that eating healthy is hard. I created this website to show you that it really isn’t. In fact, meal prep is a surefire way to hit your fitness goals while saving both time and money. Confused how to start? Let me show you how meal prep can be an easy addition to your lifestyle.
How to achieve your fitness goals:
I’m not a fitness guru that’s going to give you a personalized one-size-fits-all diet and workout plan. Reason being, I don’t know what your goals are. That’s something you need to figure out on your own. What I will give you are a ton of awesome meal prep recipes, a tool (this website) that’s easy to integrate with MyFitnessPal, and general guidelines that apply to those bulking, cutting, or even maintaining their current weight. The guidelines for achieving your fitness goals (in descending order) are:
- Hit your calorie surplus/deficit goal
- At the end of the day, weight gain and weight loss boil down to a math equation. Above all else, make sure that you are burning more calories than you consume if cutting or vice versa if you are bulking.
- Eat one gram of protein per pound of body weight every day
- No matter your goal, a high protein diet is what you need. There are a billion reasons as to why a high-protein diet is good for you, but you can check out this academic study if you want to read more. These benefits apply both when bulking and cutting, so it is the calorie deficit or the calorie surplus that really distinguishes the direction your weight goes.
- Aim for a balanced macro spread
- This step is important to keep in mind because many tend to demonize carbs or fats. In reality, all three macronutrients play an important role for your body! The fact of the matter, though, is that a consistent macro spread is less important than steps 1 and 2 by orders of magnitude, and many choose to leave this step out. If you’re a beginner or want to take it easy, I even recommend leaving this out. Hit your calories differential, get your protein, and when you feel up to it, find a macro percentage goal you like. Make sure you get some carbs and protein though!
How to use this website:
There’s a lot of recipe blogs out there, but here’s what makes mine so much more convenient for you.
- None of my recipes have a 10-page, double spaced essay as an introduction to the recipe. It’s one paragraph, than straight into the important stuff you actually want to read.
- All of my recipes will import perfectly into MyFitnessPal. A lot of websites are super glitchy with this function due to their massive amount of words on every page. Simply go to My Meals, Recipes & Food-> Create a Recipe -> Add from web and paste the link to my blog. You’ll get my exact listed recipe imported (and you can edit it if you make changes)
- You can sort through my recipes by type of protein, type of carb, and a ton of other categories so that its easy to mix up your diet every week. A lot of crazy people eat the same food every day to achieve their goals. I am not built like that, so for me, variety is essential. Sorting is easy on the Recipe Archive tab!
So yeah! Go to the Recipe Archive tab and check out what I’ve got. All of my recipes are high-protein and easily customizable to your tastes. Feedback on the website and recipes is much appreciated!
