Meal prep does not have to mean spending your entire Sunday batch-cooking a week of identical meals.
Most women do better when they keep it simple: a couple of breakfasts, a few lunches and at least one dinner sorted, then getting smart while they’re already in the kitchen by chopping extra veg, marinating protein or cooking double portions for later in the week.
Some weeks will be messy and motivation will be low, but the point isn’t perfection, it’s reducing decision fatigue and making sure there is nourishing food available when energy is flat and life is busy.
For me, sitting down once a week to map out meals, order groceries and spend an hour prepping a few components is a non-negotiable for stable energy, adequate protein and fibre, and supporting insulin and hormone regulation.
It’s one of the most practical habits I see benefit our current KBW clients because it keeps nutrition consistent without adding more mental load. Women already have enough on their plates, and having balanced meals ready to go is one of the quickest ways to stay properly nourished through a full week.
