Use these 6 Meal Prep Tricks When You Are Just Too Busy

It happens. You had good intentions, and suddenly you're in the middle of the storm with no way out, and definitely no time for preparing some healthy foods, let alone exercise. You find yourself resorting back to take-out, drive-thru's, and frozen meals. But, with a quick trip to the grocery store and a few minutes, you can turn the bus around! 

When you just don't have time to actually stop and prepare a meal, or plan ahead, try to create some time in your schedule. Even skipping one workout and taking the time to plan and prepare a few meals will set you up for more success than one workout in the long run, even when it doesn't seem like it at the time. 

For the days, or even weeks that are crazy, stop at the grocery store and pick up a rotisserie chicken, a few bags of salad, some chopped vegetables, and some fresh fruit or a fruit tray. Even something as simple as this will keep you from getting completely derailed, and your body will feel much better too! 

For the days that you really have no time, call ahead to one of our partners, The Flat's, or Eddie's to call and pre-order a perfectly portioned meal, ready in 30 minutes or less, and absolutely delicious and healthy. Click below for the menu.
