Allow this meal prep maven to help you rethink\u00a0your nutrition game. On tap for this week: PB and berry overnight oats<\/a> for breakfast, salmon<\/a> and veggies for lunch, then meatloaf, rice and broccoli for dinner (and don’t forget the fresh fruits and veggies for snacks). That’s\u00a01,650\u00a0calories a day, this “Dutchie getting fit” estimates.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You heard it here first: Pre-prepped food can be oh-so-pretty. Take a cue from this vegan foodie, whose typical “uni lunch” includes bamboo-infused rice salad, fresh-cut strawberries and mangoes, plus an antioxidant-rich batch of berry tea. Favorite new lunch buddy, confirmed.<\/p>\n

Chocolate coconut protein<\/a> bars…You have our undivided attention. Skip the pitstop at\u00a0GNC. Making your own homemade protein bars<\/a> over the weekend will be the best thing you do for yourself this week.<\/p>\n

A rainbow of bagged\u00a0veggies\u00a0is a pot of gold for the time-pressed chef! Instead of whipping out the cutting board every night,\u00a0minimize\u00a0time in the kitchen by\u00a0getting all your produce washed, chopped, sliced and ready to go. “With this technique, I only have to choose a protein<\/a> and I have a meal ready in no time,”\u00a0says the blogger\u00a0behind A Squirrel in the Kitchen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beware of protein fatigue by alternating your favorites throughout the week. Ground beef taco meat followed up by fragrant grilled chicken will stave off taste bud boredom. When you’ve committed to counting macros<\/a>, it’s the little things.<\/p>\n
