Top prepping doesn’t have to mean spending your whole weekend in the supermarket or the kitchen.

Here are five top tips that will help you think outside of the (tupperwear) box and keep you rolling along the path to lean town.

1. Block out prep time

For many people, one of the biggest obstacles on their health and fitness journeys is 'time'. And to achieve CEO level prepping skills, it nearly always comes down to one thing: giving yourself the time to do it.

Forget getting in late after work and trying to tackle it all at once, and clear a block on a Sunday afternoon to smash it out instead. That way, you can prep enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next three days, before having another go mid-week to tide you over till the weekend.

It may seem like a lot of work at first, but soon enough it will become part of your weekly routine.

2. Make a plan

Having a plan of what you’re going to eat in the week will not only help you stay on top of your nutrition goals, but it will also stop you from grabbing unhealthy fast food on the go. Make a calendar for the week and note down what you’d like for breakfast, lunch and dinner; what you want to eat post-workout; and what kind of snacks you want to be munching on throughout the day. Stick to it, and prep your meals according to the plan.

Also, knowing what you can freeze and keep in the fridge will help you avoid wasting food and the time you've taken to prep it. As a general rule, curries, sauces and casseroles are great for freezing. I recommend freezing the recipes that you can make in large batches and then you can place the frozen meal in the fridge to let them defrost and cook them up in 5-10 mins the next day! Most cooked meat will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days.

3. Up your tupperware game

Trust me, any boss prepper knows the value of having plenty of tupperwear knocking about in their cupboards. Invest in at least ten containers to accommodate all sorts of meals. And, don’t forget the smaller tubs for your nuts!

4. buy a slow cooker (trust me!)

Have a meal at home in the slow cooker eliminates the temptation to order take-out which is often less nutritious and more expensive. Slow cookers usually allow one-step preparation. Placing all the ingredients in the slow cooker saves preparation time and cuts down on cleanup.

5. Stock up

Making sure your cupboards are well stocked is a one-way ticket on the fast train to lean town. Having the right foods in (and the wrong foods out), including a selection of herbs and spices, will not only elevate your recipes, but will give you a massive variety of different meal options and flavours to choose from, especially if you’re using only a few ingredients.

Stocking essentials such as coconut oil, soy sauce and spices will save you money and time, too, and make it as easy as possible to #stayfit4function

Preparation is key when it comes to getting lean and good organisation in the kitchen is essential to burning fat and getting the body you want.

It's time to ditch those ready-made sandwiches, meal deals and pasta pots, as they don't make lean bodies. Home-prepared, nutritious meals that are high in protein and healthy fats do, so let's get cooking.
