How this mum made 52 meals and snacks for her family (and why she swears by meal prep)
There are multiple benefits to meal prep, the main one being LESS CHEATING!
Not only are you more likely to eat food that has already been bought and made than opt for a takeaway, but it also helps with portion control and itโs a HUGE time saver when you’re losing weight on theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
Amy Sidiropoulos agrees! Sheโs a huge advocate of meal prep and recently made 52 different meals and snacks for her family from theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย – she won’t need to cook for a while!
Mum makes 52 meals and snacks for her family
Amy has lost 1.3st by following the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge, and sheโs now got her own meal planning routine.
โI find prepping on a Sunday is better for me, as I tend to get more done as hubby is home and keeps the kids away from the kitchen and disturbing me,โ says Amy.
โAfter spending a few hours in the kitchen this arvo Iโm set for the week and ready to kick some goals!โ

Amyโs top three tips for meal prep:
1. Make a list
Itโs easier to not veer off track.
2. Bulk up your food with veggies
I try to plan my meals so I can bulk prep certain ingredients all at once e.g. grateย carrots for Mexican Lasagne and Porcupine Meatballs at the same time.
3. Make things easier for yourself
Meal prep doesnโt have to take a lot of time, little things like boiling some eggs for a snack while you are cooking dinner is a big help too.
