Hey
On a weekly if not daily basis, I see people putting
photos up with things like hashtag meal prep.
And then, photos of Tupperware lined up with
all their foods in.
And I’m often asked of people, do we need
to do this?
And my message is always a simple big fat
NO
(big eh?)
For me, I couldn’t think of anything much worse than
eating out of Tupperware every single day.
yes its good for a day or two, but every day erm…..
No thanks.
Of course, for some people, yes, it’s right for them.
but, for me, if I was at work all day, I’d rather be able to
buy something that I felt like I wanted at lunchtime.
Or, if I was working all day out of my house like in an
office etc. I’d make sure that I’d prepared maybe just
one big meal and enjoyed that, rather than having five
or six Tupperwares every single day LOL.
Or if im running around after the kids, lugging tupperwares
around really wont work either haha.
But that’s just me.
And I have to confess, I used to be one of these people
who put photos up, thinking it was good and it was
impressing people that I brought Tupperware to work….
But, the reality was, half of the time, I didn’t end up
wanting to eat them nor did I eat them haha.
So my message is very simple:
Unless you really want to meal prep and start prepping
five or six meals a day.
You really don’t have to.
Just focus on what fits your lifestyle.
Focus on what you enjoy eating and balance it out-
if you prep kids lunches just make a lunch for yourself
too it can be the same food just bigger portion.
So, for me, I’d rather —
if I worked a nine-to-five job and it was busy in the morning,
I’d fast until lunchtime and then have whatever I wanted for
lunch.
Then I’d have my dinner and snacks around afterwards.
to fit the 4 numbers i care about-
Calories
Protein
Carbs
Fats
So I’m fasting for most of the day and getting my calories right,
and my macros will balance out after I’ve had that, whatever I
felt like for lunch.
And trust me, it probably wouldnt be chicken, rice, and broccoli
at lunch time.
So for me, it’s never really going to be a long term thing taking
tupperwears everywhere with me, yes for competition prep it
makes sense, but if you want to lose weight….
Calm down and enjoy your food.
