Low Calorie Meal Prep Ideas for the Week

Low calorie meal prep ideas to set yourself up for a successful week. Prepped meals and snacks that stay fresh and make calorie tracking effortless.

Low calorie meal prep is the single most effective habit for staying on track with your calorie goals.

Start with a protein prep. Grill or bake several portions of chicken breast, turkey breast, or fish at once.

Prep your vegetables at the same time. Wash and chop lettuce, spinach, bell peppers, and cucumbers.

Cook grains and legumes in bulk. A batch of quinoa, brown rice, or farro lasts in the fridge for four to five days.

Portion out snacks for the week. Divide almonds or mixed nuts into small bags.

Prepare overnight oats for the first few days.

Make a large batch of soup or chili that you can eat for lunches or quick dinners.

Assembly style bowls are the most efficient format. Prep the components separately and combine them with different seasonings through the week.

Store prepped food in clear containers at eye level in the fridge. If healthy options are the first thing you see, you will reach for them more often.
