✱ 8 – The freezer is your friend
Planning your meals is the first step; the next one is cooking ahead, portioning your food in individual Zip-lock bags, and freezing them. It sounds like a lot of work, but once you get used to it, it’s actually a time saver.
The moment you get back from the grocery store, separate your chicken, ground beef, and any other meat in individual portions. That way you’ll never cook more food than you need, and you’ll start meeting your weight goals.
