Meal prepping is great for our nutrition and wellness, and it does a great deal to keep us healthy. By following the meal prep plan, you will switch your high-calorie breakfast and lunches to fiber and vitamin-filled meals. You will have the same advantages of a grab-and-go option from restaurants and supermarkets, except with less fat, salt, and sugar.

What is meal prepping? It entails cooking meals in advance and packing them so they are ready to go or ready to eat. You will prep for the weekdays during weekends, at night for a quick breakfast, or in the afternoon for a fast dinner. The period in which you cook and the ingredients you add are all in your control and fully customizable. You can comfortably decide on portion size and make portable food.

Zip-top bags, aluminum foil, air-tight containers, and freezing paper are all good choices for freezing. To make your food last for a long time, you need to remove as much air and moisturizer as possible.

Zip-top bags can be filled with either solid or liquid food, and then excess air can be compressed out by hugging or squeezing the bag till you seal it. Blocks of meat and bread are bulky and cannot be stored in bags. These ingredients need to be neatly and tightly wrapped in freezer-grade plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or freezer paper to last long.

Airtight containers are less effective in restricting air but are a popular choice for liquids. When using, be sure to fill the container to the brim so that less air is trapped.

All types are suitable for storage, but you will prefer one more than the other depending on your needs.

Plastic

Not all plastic containers are the same. The best containers to purchase are BPA-free, microwavable, and made for food storage. The containers have numbers on the bottom. 1, 2, 4, and 5 are safe to use for food, while the rest indicate that they are not made for food storage.

Glass

If you are reheating meals and want to avoid excess cleanup, then glass is best. You can transfer food from the freezer directly to the oven and then serve it in the same container. It is also better for the environment than plastic. The main disadvantage is that glass can shatter and break easily, so if you are a clumsy person, glass is not for you.

Stainless steel

Another durable container can be stainless steel. It is also better for the environment, but the main disadvantage is that it's not microwavable. It is also much more expensive than plastic containers.

Bamboo

This option is the most eco-friendly and the containers come with a plastic lid. They are available in many patterns and designs and great for taking food out on a picnic. Some bamboo containers are microwave and dishwasher safe.
