Lost time is never found again. Benjamin Franklin

I have always had trouble when it comes to controlling my weight. It took me a while to find an eating plan that worked for me, but when I did, the only thing I really hated was that preparing and cooking my low carb meals took so much time out of my day! I was finding myself in the kitchen for at least one hour each afternoon or evening prepping and cooking so that I could control my weight and eat healthily.

For years I spent this time in the kitchen prepping and cooking and despairing over the time I felt like I was wasting. I even considered going back to eating poorly just so I could save that kitchen time each afternoon. Sure, I was eating right and had my weight under control, but I was also more fatigued than I had ever been in my life! Who wants to spend an hour in the kitchen every afternoon or evening after a full day of work? That isnt to mention all of the other chores and errands that need running throughout the week!

When I hit the point that I was ready to quit eating healthily, I gave it one last shot and began to research ways that I could make my healthy meals more quickly. It didnt take long before I ran into the idea of making my own freezer meals. At first, the idea of cooking my own freezer meals seemed daunting, but when I began following the routine of cooking one day a week for the whole weeks worth of meals. In no time at all I had figured out how to recap the time I was losing and maintain my healthy eating plan! Not only that, but I had figured out how to freeze my own favorite recipes to make freezer meals work for me. Now I challenge you to try the freezer meal plan of eating and see how you can benefit from extra time in your weekly schedule!

I n this chapter, I will help you to understand the following about freezer meals:

• What is a freezer meal?
• What are the benefits of cooking freezer meals?
• How can you prepare your weekly meals in just one day?

What is a Freezer Meal?

When you start thinking about preparing freezer meals for your weekly dietary plan, you first need to understand what a freezer meal is! Of course, when you go shopping for prepared meals, a freezer meal is a pre-cooked, frozen meal that comes in a small package that you stick in the microwave or oven. These meals save time, but they are also loaded with artificial ingredients and are incredibly unsatisfying. Fortunately, however, you can make your own variation on these meals yourself!

When you undertake making your own freezer meals you are essentially creating your own frozen meals like those you would buy at the grocery store, but you are doing so healthily. You are preparing ingredients for meals you love, you are cooking those ingredients to make your meals, and you are freezing them to reheat when you are ready to eat! You get the convenience of frozen dinners without the ridiculous levels of artificial ingredients and you get the satisfaction of knowing that you are eating well!

What are the Benefits of Cooking Freezer Meals?

I already mentioned a few of the benefits of cooking your own freezer meals above, but lets take a look at them in more detail and cover some other benefits as well.

The first and biggest benefit of cooking your own freezer meals, is the ability to control what goes into your meals. This control is particularly important when you are following a specific dietary plan. When you make and freeze your own freezer meals you can not only follow caloric and nutritional intake needs, but you can also ensure that you are eating the healthiest ingredients possible.

Making your own freezer meals is also beneficial because it allows you to take advantage of the benefit of the time-saving nature of frozen meals. When it comes meal time throughout the week, you can simply heat up one of your meals and be ready to eat in minutes. Cut out that meal prep time every evening and you have more time to spend with your family, more time to devote to work, or more time to just relax and unwind!

An extra benefit to cooking your own freezer meals at home is the affordability of eating this way! When you cook your own meals, we all know that you save money versus going out to eat, but when you prep and cook your own meals in bulk, you save even more! When you plan out your menu, you can buy ingredients in bulk and save. Not only that, but you throw out less food because it wasnt used and it spoiled. Additionally, you can plan to use leftover ingredients and eat leftover meals so less food is wasted in that way too.

How can you Prepare Your Weekly Meals in Just One Day?

Preparing your weekly meals and making them ahead of time helps you to save time throughout the week, but it also takes a lot of time and effort during your prep day. This amount of time being devoted to meal prep during one day can seem overwhelming, but there are a number of tips and tricks that you can use to help to cut down on the time you spend even on your prep day!

Make a Menu

Begin your weekly food prep by making a menu. Making a menu will not only help you to decide what you are going to shop for throughout the week and help you to find the best prices, but you will also be able to share ingredients through meals. Your menu will also allow you to make sure that you are including enough variation in your weekly meal plans to avoid boredom!
