Losing Fat Mass: Meal prepping as a secret weapon.
Robbie ScheersLosing fat mass isn’t about starving yourself or doing hours of cardio, it’s about consistency. If you’re not dialed in on what you’re eating, even the best workout routine won’t make much of a dent. And that’s where meal prepping comes in.
Why Nutrition is the Key
When it comes to fat loss, it’s 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. You’ve heard it before: “You can’t out-train a bad diet.” It’s true. But here’s the catch: if you’re constantly winging your meals, it’s easy to overeat or grab something quick (and usually unhealthy).
Meal prepping fixes that. It removes the guesswork. You’ve got your meals ready, so you’re less tempted by takeout or mindless snacking. Plus, it helps you stick to your calorie goals without even thinking about it.
Tips for Fat-Loss Meal Prepping
- Focus on protein: Keeps you full and helps retain muscle while you lose fat.
- Load up on veggies: They’re low-calorie and packed with nutrients.
- Portion control: Prepping means you know exactly how much you’re eating.
Start simple. Prep two or three meals at a time, and build from there. Trust me, once you start seeing results, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
