Ello,

I have a confession…

I used to be the anti-meal prep guy.

🥣 Swore I’d never be that person stacking tupperware like a psychopath.

🍚 Swore I’d never weigh out 200g of rice like it was a sacred ritual.

🛒 Swore I’d never spend a Sunday in Tesco bulk-buying sweet potatoes like a prepper waiting for doomsday.

But then I tried it a few times…

And now? I’m fully in.

Because it turns out meal prep isn’t just for boring bodybuilders with no tastebuds.

It’s for people who want their nutrition sorted without having to think about it every 3 hours 🙌

Here’s what meal prep actually gets you:

✅ Saves you money

✅ Saves you a TONNE of time midweek

✅ Forces you to eat proper meals (not cereal at 10pm)

✅ Helps keep you on track without thinking

✅ Gets you away from ultra-processed nonsense

✅ Makes hitting protein targets effortless

It’s not sexy. It’s not Instagrammable.

But it WORKS 👊

Here’s exactly what I did to meal prep week:

  • Threw 30 chicken sausages into the air fryer — 20 mins. Didn’t flip them. Didn’t care 🤷‍♂️

  • Took 3 microwave rice packets, halved them, dumped them into 6 tupperwares.

  • Added a full bag of frozen veg to each 🥦

  • Salt + sweet chilli sauce = chef’s kiss 🤌 That’s lunch for 6 days.

Done ✅

Then dinner:

  • Chopped 2kg of sweet potato wedges, seasoned the life out of them, roasted them for 40 mins 🍠 

  • While they were cooking, threw 750g of 5% beef mince into two pans, added cherry tomatoes and spices 🥘 

  • Divvied it all up into 6 more tupperwares.

Done ✅ 

Washing up?

  • 2 oven trays

  • 1 chopping board

  • 1 knife

  • 1 spatula

  • 1 air fryer basket

That’s it.

Whole week of food sorted in just one hour 🤯 

Why does this matter?

Because when your food’s done in advance:

🍕 You don’t need willpower to say no to a takeaway.

🥩 You’ve already got the protein prepped.

🧠 You don’t waste brainpower figuring out dinner at 9pm.

🧼 You do the dishes once, not 12 times.

It’s like giving your future self a high five every. single. day.

This is the kind of stuff I work through with 1:1 clients.
