stop wasting time to Q for lunch!!!

This meal prep journey actually started off with the husband wanting to track his daily macronutrients and hitting the protein intake! But I have never looked back ever since because...

WHERE GOT TIME TO QUEUE FOR LUNCH?!

It was really life changing!!! I get to have healthy, well balanced meals and also 30 mins power nap at work during the mid-day! Win-win situation, so why not??

I cook on Sunday mornings while he coaches clients in our home gym (Habitual Fitness - check out my first post!) For a total of 10-14 portions, my husband gets to have his weekday dinners settled and I have my weekday work lunch settled.

✨ This week's menu ✨

1. Oven baked marinated boneless chicken thighs

2. Stir fry broccoli with sliced carrots and mushrooms

3. Braised minced pork with sliced potatoes

Give me a 🙌🏼 if you are also onboard with meal preps!!

... Read moreMeal prepping is a powerful strategy to streamline your daily routine and improve your overall health. By preparing meals in advance, you avoid the common lunchtime dilemma of long queues and unhealthy takeout options. This approach helps maintain a balanced diet, ensuring sufficient macronutrient intake such as protein, essential for muscle repair and energy. Planning your meals around nutrient-dense foods like oven-baked marinated boneless chicken thighs, stir-fried broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and braised minced pork with potatoes combines taste and health benefits. These dishes provide a good mix of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. Additionally, meal prepping allows for portion control, reducing food waste and aiding weight management. Using weekends for bulk cooking—such as you cooking on Sundays while your partner trains clients in your home gym—not only saves time during busy workdays but also encourages healthy habits within the household. The home gym environment complements the commitment to fitness and nutrition, creating a holistic lifestyle. Moreover, meal prep supports mindful eating by eliminating rushed lunch breaks and promoting focused mealtime, which can improve digestion and satisfaction with your food. Incorporating a 30-minute power nap during the mid-day further enhances productivity and mental clarity. For those considering starting, the key is to choose simple, favorite recipes that can be prepared in large batches and stored safely. Investing in quality containers and organizing your fridge and freezer will make weekday meals easy to access. Meal prepping is more than just convenience; it's an effective way to support your fitness goals, save money, reduce stress, and ultimately create a healthier daily routine. Embracing this habit can truly be life-changing, as reflected in success stories of people maintaining balanced diets and staying energized throughout their workday. Remember, the commitment to meal prep doesn't have to be perfect from the start. Gradual improvements and adapting recipes to your taste will keep you motivated and consistently reaping the benefits of a well-planned nutritional approach.

❌ STOP wasting KrisFlyer miles on Scoot unless....
Yes, you can redeem KrisFlyer miles for Scoot flights but it’s not always worth it. Scoot uses a fixed award chart, so some short-haul routes look cheap in miles… until you factor in taxes, fees, and the cash price. 💡 The key rule: always compare cents-per-mile. If the cash fare is low, redeemi
