While I generally try to include a lot of whole foods in my life, being on a cut means I will make an even greater effort to eat fresh, whole and unprocessed foods.

I love making these for meal preps because you can easily increase the calories or protein and make them dairy free, gluten free and or vegan if you choose.

You don’t have to prep every single meal + snack you eat to be a meal prepper.

Showing kindness and compassion makes you strong. Valuing …

Most scales just state a number, they don’t take into consideration your body composition (muscle, fat, etc.). People get caught up in trying to be a “healthy” weight based on their height. In reality that ideal …

1. How many days do I prep for? 4 days 2. Do I freeze anything? No-I find a lot of things don’t freeze well.
