I teach fitness and nutrition, and I’m a mum of four. I know meal prep can be brilliant, when you have the time and it genuinely makes your week easier.
But “just meal prep” is often said to women who are already doing the food shopping, making everyone else’s meals and trying to work out what’s for dinner every single night.
Sometimes the most useful plan is not five perfectly packed containers. It’s knowing you can make eggs on toast, a jacket potato with mince, or overnight oats when the day has got away from you.
Healthy eating has to work on your busiest day, not only on the Sunday when you had three spare hours.
What’s your go-to dinner when you’ve got absolutely no time? 👀
