About low-calorie meal prep

Low-calorie meal prep isn't about eating the tiniest meal you can. It works best when the food is simple, filling, and easy to enjoy again during the week.

That is the idea behind this section. These recipes are made for real life, with meals you can cook in advance, pack up, reheat, and still enjoy the next day.
