Finding time to make healthy, nutritious meals throughout the week can be difficult.
That’s why, many people - including busy parents to young professionals - have turned to meal-prepping to help them eat well while saving time and money. At youfoodz, our range of healthy pre-prepared and pre-portioned meals are an even more convenient answer to meal prep. All you need to do is choose your plan, pick a delivery date, then heat one of your delicious meals for two minutes. No stress, no supermarket queues and most importantly, no washing up.What Are The Benefits Of Meal Prepping?
It will save you money!
According to the experts, by planning out all of your meals for the week in advance, you’re less likely to go rogue in the grocery store buying snacks, sweets and extra ingredients you don’t actually need. And you’re even less likely to order a cheeky weeknight takeaway, meaning you can cut down on the junk food, prevent food waste and save money, too.
It prevents waste
As mentioned above, meal-prepping prevents waste. How many times have you found yourself in the supermarket buying more ingredients than you need for one specific recipe, with the excess passing its use-by date and going in the rubbish bin at the end of the week? More than you’d like to admit? We thought so. With meal-prepping, you buy only the ingredients you need, saving time and money, while doing your bit for the planet. Why not try one of Youfoodz’ pre-made meal subscriptions instead? With each freshly prepared meal pre-portioned and delivered straight to your door, you can forget about food waste entirely.
It’s linked to weight-loss and obesity prevention
It’s common knowledge that eating fresh, home-cooked produce is more beneficial for our health than takeout and ready meals. Meal prepping allows you to pre-portion, freshly cook and choose the ingredients of each meal, meaning you have complete control over the calories, size and nutritional value. Unlike takeout and supermarket ready meals, though, Youfoodz’ range of healthy prepared meals take out the stress of cooking completely. With a variety of meal plans to choose from, including low-calorie meals for customers who want to lose weight, you can guarantee that every meal is fresh, filling and jam-packed with healthy ingredients to support your busy lifestyle and keep everyone happy and healthy.
You can try out new, delicious meals and recipes
Ever get bored of whipping up the same weeknight dinners? Meal prepping gives you the chance to try out new, exciting and delicious recipes that are healthy, too. And if cooking isn’t your thing, Youfoodz have a range of healthy prepared meals that are freshly made in-house by our dedicated chefs and nutritionist, then delivered straight to your door as soon as the next day.Can you lose weight from meal prepping?
Yes, if you’re meal prepping with the correct ingredients and using portion control, you can definitely use it as a tool to lose weight. By giving a more rigid structure to meal times and allowing you to plan ahead using fresh, nutrient-dense produce and ingredients, meal planning is more likely to help you stay on track without feeling restricted. Too busy to get to the supermarket? Not to worry. Youfoodz takes meal prepping to the next level with its range of healthy, pre-made and pre-portioned meals for delivery. Choose from an extensive range of meals to suit you, such as low-calorie and FUEL’D high-protein to get all the nutrients you need to help you lose weight and repair muscles after a tough work-out.
What Are The Best Foods For Meal Prepping?
When meal prepping, it’s good to have a balance of protein, carbs, healthy fats and veggies. For example, some good foods to include in your meal prep include salmon, chicken, and lentils for protein, rice, potatoes or quinoa for carbs, olive oil or avocado for healthy fats and fresh, leafy greens for veggies. These are all just suggestions, though! The best thing about meal prepping is that you can adjust your recipes to suit your tastes and goals. Sounds like too much work? Then maybe Youfoodz’ prepared meal deliveries are for you. Choose from our range of amazing plans, including FUEL’D high-protein, vegetarian, flexitarian, everyday healthy and low-calorie that can easily be customised and adapted to suit you needs.
Can You Meal Prep For Five Days?
It depends. The length a meal prep will last is entirely dependent upon the type of ingredients you use. Most meal preps will last around 3-5 days in the fridge, however, some more sensitive ingredients such as meat and fish could last less or more depending on their expiry dates and how you store them. It is very important to be vigilant when meal prepping and follow health and safety precautions during prep and after to avoid contamination and getting ill. At youfoodz, all our fresh, pre-prepared meals come with an expiry date on the sleeve so you know exactly how long you’ve got to devour them!
