Meal prep removes daily guesswork—cook once, portion clearly, and log the same meal repeatedly in your app. That consistency is one of the fastest ways to improve calorie accuracy.
Start with a simple template
Build bowls or boxes with three parts: lean protein + fibre-rich carbs or veg + healthy fat. Examples:
- Grilled chicken, roasted sweet potato, broccoli, olive oil (~450 kcal)
- Turkey chilli with brown rice and side salad (~500 kcal)
- Baked salmon, quinoa, asparagus (~520 kcal)
Weigh ingredients once
Weigh raw ingredients when cooking, divide into equal containers, and save the meal as a custom recipe in your calorie app. Future logs take one tap.
Prep snacks deliberately
Pre-portion nuts, hummus with veg sticks, or yogurt with berries so snack calories are planned—not grabbed blindly.
Freezer-friendly wins
Soups, burrito fillings, and marinated chicken freeze well. Label containers with calories per serving on tape for quick reference.
Even two prepped lunches and three dinners per week can transform how accurately you track—and how often you order takeaway on impulse.
