    When meal prepping for family dinners and trying to achieve weight loss goals, it is important to find your favorite proteins, vegetables, carbs, and fats. Use these as your go-to foods and combine them to create what we call a "Perfect Plate."
    Perfect Plate = 1/2 veggies + 1/4 protein + 1/4 carbs or fats.
    When meal prepping for the whole family, you can buy all of these foods in bulk, prepare them, and store them in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to eat them. This will save you precious time and also save you money! Meal prep for busy families doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. By using this strategy, you can eat healthy, save time, and lose weight all at the same time. You will be able to build long term habits and produce lasting results while creating these easy meals for families.
    4 Parts of Healthy Meal Planning for Families:
    (3:03) Proteins (chicken, fish, eggs)
    (6:01) Veggies (salad, zucchini)
    (9:28) Healthy Carbs (rice, oatmeal, quinoa, pasta, Ezekiel bread, sweet potatoes)
    (13:35) Healthy Fats (avocado, MCT oil, organic nuts)

    • @FitMotherProject
      @FitMotherProject  Год назад

      Hey Elle, thanks for writing in and great question! I would recommend classifying them as more of your carb as they are a little more sugary than your typical "veggie" (as a fruit). Reserving your veggies for leafy/cruciferous ones would be our recommendation as they provide the most in terms of nutrition/value.

    • @FitMotherProject
      @FitMotherProject  3 года назад

      Hey Sarah, thanks for writing in and great question! If you have the time and willing to put in the prep work, this is where making multiple meals in bulk can come in handy. You can freeze the other portions and cycle them throughout the week. It takes a little more time up front but with a good labeling system, you can save yourself A LOT of time throughout the week!

  • @73cidalia
    @73cidalia 3 года назад

    It's a bit more of a struggle to make a perfect plate when you want to make a casserole or one-pot meal. One workaround is to cook the carb(s) separately and add a lot of vegetables.

  • @rakheemajithia1489
    @rakheemajithia1489 Год назад

    Do you just heat the food that you’ve prepped in the fridge, doesn’t this loose it’s nutritional value? And realistically how long will things like veg stay fresh? Is there anyway to make them last longer?

    • @FitMotherProject
      @FitMotherProject  Год назад +1

      Hey Rakhee, thanks for writing in and great question! The extent of how much nutrition is lost depends on the heating process, the temperature, and duration. The same goes for stored veggies and the duration in the fridge. But the bottom line is that if this method helps you live a healthier lifestyle, the amount lost pales in comparison to what you gain over time. Thank you for watching!

    • @FitMotherProject
      @FitMotherProject  Год назад

      Hey Tami, you know you have a quality sauerkraut if you can find an organic one as it will have gone through a cleaner production process. However, cabbage is a produce found on the "Clean 15" list and you don't necessarily have to go organic! It is simply fermented cabbage so you'll most likely be in good shape, no matter what you choose...especially if the ingredients are simply cabbage, water, and/or salt.

      @FitMotherProject  2 года назад +1

      Hey Jane, thanks for writing in and great question! The types of food found from the video are fantastic for those with PCOS. The goal is to consume foods that don't contribute to higher blood glucose levels. These are usually proteins, healthy fats, and fibrous or complex carbohydrates that provide a slower blood sugar spike.

      Hi Reena, thanks for writing in and great question! While Millet does contain protein, it is much heavier in the carb department so we would recommend using it as your main carb source. For a list of other healthy carb sources, check out the following video==> pulse.ly/qlunozntcp Thanks for watching!

    Can I swap between the 4x4 plan and the intermittent?

      Hey Raven, thanks for writing in and great question! You can absolutely go back and forth if that is what your schedule and lifestyle dictates. Just consider anytime you do the intermittent fasting as a bonus because 1. you naturally eat less in a condensed window and 2. you get a little boost of the fat-burning effect by delaying breakfast and suppressing insulin levels. What's important at the end of the day is finding a schedule that works for YOU, and allows you to execute it consistently on a weekly basis.
