As we kick off the year, many are setting their sights on healthier habits, weight loss, and building nutritious eating routines. One effective way to stay on track with your goals, especially while using GLP-1 medication, is by meal prepping. Here’s how to get started:
How to Meal Prep
- Make a Meal Plan: Plan your meals for the week, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just one main meal. Write down the ingredients you’ll need.
- Go Shopping: Buy enough ingredients for the week. Shopping online can help you avoid temptation and stick to your list.
- Start Prepping: Begin by chopping veggies and fruits. Pre-cook proteins and sides so they’re ready to combine in containers.
- Portion: Portion out meals or meal components to ensure easy, grab-and-go options throughout the week.
- Packaging: Store your meals in containers and refrigerate or freeze them for the week ahead.
Meal prepping helps you stay on track with your GLP-1 medication and sets you up for success in 2025. For recipe ideas like Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles, Shrimp Stir-Fry, and Protein Parfaits, visit our Signature Patient Website.
