Frequently asked questions

How do you start meal prepping?
Start small — you don't have to prep every meal. Pick one prep day (Sunday works for many), batch-cook one or two meals that freeze well (chilli, curry, bolognese, soup), and prep components for others (chop veg, marinate proteins, cook a grain). Portion into containers and label with the date. Even prepping just a few lunches or having two freezer dinners ready transforms a busy week. It saves money (less waste, fewer takeaways), time, and the daily 'what's for dinner?' stress.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
