Healthy Make Ahead Meals


Both my boyfriend and I are working on our bodies right now. His goal is to gain mass where my goal is to gain lean muscle and lower my body fat percentage. Either way keeping our metabolism up is priority, and in order to do so we need to be eating every 3 hours. Eating a balanced meal every 3 hours can be a real job. With that being said I have taken on the role of meal prepper :]. On Monday's (my day off) I cook in bulk and make us both meals to take to work for the week! Here are some of the healthy meals that I have been making for us. I wanted to keep the recipes super healthy, but at the same time not bland.

  1. hi! great post!
    here's some questions tho.
    how do you store your food?
    do you reheat? or are they eaten cold?

  2. Thanks! I store my meals in the fridge (I usually just make a weeks worth at a time) I will reheat some meals depending on what it is, but for the most part I just eat them cold. :)
