Don't feel like dedicating your morning to preparing your breakfast, but still want to eat healthy? Then you've come to the right place. Because in this post we will tell you great tips on the subject of meal prep, how you can sleep in longer and still enjoy a healthy breakfast ! Great recipes await you at the end.
First of all, however, it should be clarified why breakfast is so important in the first place and why it should not be removed from your morning routine under any circumstances.
Why is a healthy breakfast so important?
As you know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And that also sounds logical. Almost 50 percent of the basal metabolic calories are consumed by our body at night, which means that our energy reserves are half empty in the morning.
That's why it's all the more important to have a healthy, nutrient-dense breakfast in the morning. It's best to start your day with an energy load of healthy carbohydrates in the form of porridge or cereal . This is the only way your brain, muscles, and organs can function!
If you start the day with a healthy breakfast, your blood sugar level will remain constant throughout the day. So you will no longer have to struggle with cravings and the irrepressible desire for sweets. This will also make it easier for you to maintain your weight or even lose a few kilos.
So remember: don’t stress in the morning, but don't skip your breakfast! And you can do that best with Meal Prep. But ...
What is meal prep?
Meal Prep is an abbreviation for "Meal Prepping", which in turn stands for "meal preparation". If you translate the English word into German, you actually have a very simple explanation: Meal Prep is the preparation or pre-cooking of meals . And it's best to do that in one day for the whole following week! Pretty simple, right?
You can either pre-cook entire dishes and freeze part of them, or prepare individual ingredients that make it easier to prepare meals later.
Benefits of Meal Prep
You'll be surprised how much time you can save with Meal Prep . Not only because your breakfast is already at hand after getting up, but also because you will go shopping less often. Because those who plan well do not buy unnecessary food, which then spoils in the refrigerator.
By the way, it will also be easier for you to save money because you no longer have to buy breakfast on your way to work or university. You will certainly eat healthier with your prepared food , as you will certainly not prepare unhealthy ready meals 😉
