I'm pretty sure most people would agree eating healthy is not always an easy thing to do.
However, a little planning can really go a long way when it comes to staying on track.
My trainer introduced me to meal prepping several years ago.
Several pounds lighter and a thousand Tupperware containers later, I can honestly say this little trick will make eating healthy a hundred times easier.
If you're not familiar with meal prepping, let me fill you in.
It basically involves planning and prepping your meals in advance for the week so you can save time each day and keep track of exactly what you eat.
