Meal preparation, sometimes called "meal prep," is the process of planning and preparing meals. Most people will do meal preparation on Sunday, but there is an increasing trend of mid-week meal preparation, where meals are prepared once on Sunday, for Mon-Wed, then again on Wednesday for the rest of the week.[1] If one is meal prepping with highly perishable items such as leafy greens, one may want to consider a mid-week meal prep routine.

Advance preparation
Sometimes meal preparation involves preparing meals ahead of time for a short or extended period of time. This practice may occur among people who desire to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Advance preparation can serve to standardize food portions. Sometimes meals are fully cooked, other times they are not. Meals may be prepared in small containers such as tupperware, and are sometimes labeled.
