One of the best ways to stay healthy and keep your diet on track is doing a meal prep ahead of the time. It's easy to pick unhealthy choices for lunch. Or you may feel lazy one weeknight to do any prep for the following day. By doing ketogenic meal prepping, you can enjoy all these benefits:
-
You can save money by preparing meals ahead of the time, since you are not wasting the groceries you bought for the week. And you will eat out less which helps with your meal budget for the month.
-
You will have more time to do other things during the week, as you don't have to constantly worry about what meals to make the following day. You plan a week ahead and can focus on what everyday brings.
-
It will help you to stick to your ketogenic diet which will help you stay healthy and fit. No more feeling bloated after lunch since you had way too much carbs or having that guilty feeling.

I love anything easy when it comes to doing meal preps. This is a nutritious salad that mixes both veggies and protein. Mix it up with your favorite dressing and you have a hearty meal that will fill you up until dinner time.

I normally bring salad dressing separately to work to mix up any salads to prevent sogginess.

3. Crispy Flourless Crab Cakes By Carb Wars

4. Sesame Chicken & Broccoli By Meal Prep On Fleek
I love anything asian flavored, perhaps because I grew up eating mostly Asian food cooked by my mama. When combining the zucchini noodles, I like to use a container that separates the main food, in order to prevent the noodles being too soggy. Or a meal prep container that has compartments works well. Store the zucchini noodles in a separate container until you are ready to pack them or you can always put them in a separated container and store it.
5. LOW CARB GREEK CHICKEN MEAL PREP BOWLS by Wholesome Yum
This is a super easy meal that you can bake in one pan. I love anything that makes cooking easy - throw in all the veggies and the chicken together in an oven and your meal is done!
