TWR 055: How to Meal Prep and Eat Healthy During the Week

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber shares important tips on meal prep. When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining sustainable and sane eating habits, you don’t have to try to control everything you eat and count macros and count calories and be super stressed about your food. At the same time, it’s good to plan ahead and have an idea of your meals during the week. As much as we try to cook all of our meals on Sunday and consume them throughout the week, we don’t know what’s going to happen in these 7 days: we might go out for dinner, we might have an event, we might be super busy with meetings all day… so it’s impossible to use all of our food containers perfectly. The key in this situation is having balance, being moderate, and trying not to obsess about it. Tune in!
