Over the past few months, I’ve found myself having a lot of conversations about meal prepping with clients. Something that struck me as a common experience when talking with folks was that most felt meal prepping was the key to eating “healthier” and making the “right” food choices. The other thing I noticed was that meal prep in general felt for many like a huge (and daunting) undertaking due to the time it took, and because it brought them little joy when they were actually doing it. And most, if not all, felt their inconsistency with meal prep was a shortcoming of theirs and didn’t question whether the ways we’ve been taught to think about and do meal prep were maybe part of the problem.
