Meal Prep 101: The Basics
Written by Hanna Inskeep. Published by ScienceBasedChiropractic.com
In the past fifty years or so, fast food has become more and more prevalent in the United States. Even though many people are aware that fast food isn’t very nutritious, popular fast-food chains continue to entice millions of people every year. Why is that? Research shows that the answer seems to lie in our reluctance to wait.
A recent study found that people who simply saw a popular fast-food symbol tended to act more impatiently [1]. Many people in today’s fast-paced, busy world struggle to find time to cook healthy meals three times per day, seven days per week. When time is an issue, it is easy to reach for the quickest meal, but unfortunately quickest is not usually the healthiest option. This is where “Meal Prep” comes in. Not only can preparing your meals ahead of time help you eat healthier, but it can also save you money and time during the week.
