To begin with, meal prepping is a highly underestimated way to become fit. Most people think that only working out will get you lean. However, this is far from true in the real world. Although working out is essential to reach fitness goals, eating clean is just as important. I speak from experience in my two-year fitness journey. Working out would get you bigger. However, filling your body with essential proteins and macros fuels your body to build muscle. Meal prepping has many other overarching benefits besides building muscle.
It saves me a ton of money in the long run compared to buying fast food every day. This is because, like most kids my age, money is valuable. This valuable asset of money is taken away progressively faster by being spent on fast food like McDonalds. However, meal prepping at the beginning of the week is a much cheaper option for getting my body the nutrients it needs. The money spent on ingredients to make the food can be used for other dishes throughout the day rather than one meal. Routinely making meals saves me roughly one hundred dollars plus a month.
Another vital reason meal prepping is essential is the initial workout gains produced from the meals. I need to be able to hit critical protein, carbs, and fats to help my body recover appropriately from an intense workout. Meal prepping is the number one way to create this muscle. I have been meal-prepping constantly for about a year and a half during my workout journey. I fully endorse the necessity of meal prepping for all athletes and bodybuilders worldwide because it is so monumental to the body.
To Conclude, meal prepping is a very serious way to put on pounds of muscle. I have seen this happen to myself and others around me. This is a call to meal prep your food and live a better lifestyle.
