Cooking healthy meals when you’re busy can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Preparing large amounts of food and then storing it in the fridge or freezer to eat another day — known as meal-prepping — is a great way to eat healthy food while saving time and money, and not wasting any food. Here’s some advice to get you started.
3. Start by making up to four plans — and shopping lists — that you can repeat. You can make changes to your meal plans or make new ones later on too.
You’ll want your food to stay fresh until you need it or you’ll have to throw away all your hard work! So make sure to use good, airtight containers.

Most food stored in the fridge should stay fresh for three to four days, according to the US Department of Food Safety. If you won’t be eating your food within three to four days, freeze it instead.
Buying ingredients that can be used for lots of different meals will help you save money, and will also make your meal plan more interesting.

For example, chicken can be added to a salad, a sandwich, a soup or even eaten on its own with some vegetables on the side. And chickpeas can be added to salads and curries, or made into falafel or hummus.
