Meal prep refers to the process of preparing and organizing meals in advance, typically for the purpose of saving time, eating healthier or reducing food waste. This can involve cooking large batches of food on weekends and dividing it into individual portions that can be reheated throughout the week, or prepping ingredients ahead of time to make meal preparation quicker during busy work weeks. Meal prep is often associated with healthy eating habits such as intermittent fasting, keto diet, and other nutrition plans that require careful planning and organization of food intake.
