Meal Prepping Tips and Tricks

Meal prepping has become a key strategy for fitness professionals and medical weight loss experts alike, especially for those trying to lose weight or adopt a healthier lifestyle. At New Results Medical Weight Loss, our success is built on providing a comprehensive approach, which includes medical supplementation, ongoing accountability, and helpful tips for healthy living. Here are 5 of our favorite meal prepping tips to keep you on track!

1. Pick Foods You Enjoy! It might sound obvious, but make sure you’re preparing meals you actually want to eat. If you dislike fish, don’t prep fish! Choose from a variety of healthy foods that appeal to your tastes. Meal prepping should be enjoyable, not a chore.

2. Cook Bland Foods in Bulk Cook versatile foods in bulk that you can repurpose throughout the week. A favorite recommendation is to cook several chicken breasts in the crockpot. Once done, you can turn that chicken into different meals: add low-carb BBQ sauce for sandwiches, toss with teriyaki sauce and stir-fry veggies for an Asian-inspired dish, or add salsa for easy chicken tacos.

3. Make It Fun! Meal prepping doesn’t have to be boring. Use this time to try new recipes you’ve always wanted to experiment with. While preparing your meals, listen to a podcast or your favorite music to keep things light and fun. When you enjoy the process, meal prepping becomes an exciting part of your weekly routine.

4. Think About Your Protein, Fats, and Carbs Ensure your meals are balanced with appropriate portions of protein, fats, and carbs. We generally recommend focusing on lower-carb alternatives, such as cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.

5. Stay Focused on Your Goals Some of our patients struggle with eating the same meals every day. We understand this can be tough, but remember why you started this journey and the progress you’ve already made. Food is fuel for your body, and staying focused on your goals will help you stay on track!

Meal prepping can be a game-changer in helping you stay ahead of your weight loss goals. Many of our clients at New Results Medical Weight Loss have embraced meal prepping as part of their regular routine—and they love the results!
