MEAL PLANNING 101
​
Preparing meals when you do have the time and energy to cook, can be a savior for the days when you're too busy or tired.
​
2 Ways to Approach Meal Prepping
1. Plan out your meals and recipes for the week, then make a grocery list of the ingredients you need to buy to prepare them.
2. Build a list of the foods that you have on hand, or that you like to eat, then think of meals to make with those ingredients. How can you sneak some cancer fighting foods into those meals?
​
When you have healthy prepared meals on hand or in the freezer, you’ll be much less likely to choose unhealthy options, like microwavable dinners or takeout.

​
5 Tips for Meal Prep Beginners
​
1. Keep it simple.
Start off with meals you're most familiar with and don't require much preparation time.
​
2. Schedule it.
Block off time and make it a priority. Planning it all out beforehand helps to know how much you'll need to buy and long it will take you to prepare.
​
3. Ease your way into making healthy changes by sneaking in healthy ingredients for added nutrients. Try adding in 1-2 ingredients from the Cancer Fighter's Food List to a each of your favorite recipes.
​
4. Have fun!
Crank up the music and have fun when you're meal prepping.
​
5. Cook large amounts of food at a time.
For example, if you make a large amount of baked chicken breasts, you can then portion them with different sides, broccoli and sweet potato in one container, and quinoa and butternut squash in another.
As a cancer survivor, it's so important to fuel your body with foods that will help you to fight cancer or stay in remission.
