Plan Your Meals in Advance

Posted by Dan on July 16th 2007 to Nutrition/Supplements

Planning your meals in advance is a very good thing to do. First of all, it keeps you on track and gets rid of a lot of spontaneous eating. For myself I’ve found that when I haven’t planned out what I’m going to each each day I’m a lot more likely to eat things that I really shouldn’t. Planning is a very important thing to do.

This is another reason why it’s a great idea to cook your meals in advance as well. Think about it: if all of your meals are planned out and you even have them prepared ahead of time how much would that help you to keep on track? You have the food ready (just have to heat it up) so you’d have to come up with a really really good excuse to go grab a whopper from Burger King!

Does this take some extra time and thought? Yes! It’s a good idea to set aside 1-2 days that you do most of your meal prep. Make big batches of some of your favorite meals. Another tactic that a lot of people have used is they intentionally ‘over make’ every meal, that way they always have lunch for the next day.

These are some good lifestyle habits to get used to. Planning and preparing your meals this way can be very beneficial to keeping on track in the nutrition side of your weight loss or muscle gaining program.
