Meal Prep Strategies for Busy Athletes

Eating well doesn't require cooking every meal from scratch. Smart meal prep saves time and keeps you on track.

The Sunday Prep Method

Dedicate 2 hours on Sunday to prepare your base ingredients for the week:

1. Proteins — Grill chicken, bake salmon, cook ground turkey

2.Carbs — Cook rice, roast sweet potatoes, prepare overnight oats

3.Vegetables — Roast a large tray of mixed vegetables

4.Snacks — Portion out nuts, cut fruits, prepare protein balls

Mix and Match

With prepared bases, you can create different meals by varying sauces, spices, and combinations. Monday's chicken with rice and teriyaki sauce becomes Wednesday's chicken wrap with different toppings.

Storage Tips

- Glass containers keep food fresher than plastic

Most meals last 4-5 days refrigerated

Freeze portions for the end of the week
