A three-step practical guide to food prepping for weeks of healthy meals - for gym bunnies or anyone who needs to save on takeaway.

A healthy body starts with the fuel you put in it, and when you're busy, it's easy to let that slip… The cupboard is empty, so dial up a takeaway - we've all been there.

The Fit Foodie Meal Prep Plan is a three-step practical guide that gives you a fridge full of healthy, ready-to-eat meals and takes the 'what's for dinner' worry out of your busy days. Meal prepping will have you stressing less and eating better, spending less and living more.

STEP 1 is prepping your protein: think foolproof oven-baked salmon or chicken, falafel, fishcakes, Asian-style mince and satay tofu.

STEP 2 teaches you to batch and stash. Get the fridge, freezer and pantry packed with healthy staples to last the week: muesli, paleo bread, hummus, dressings, fritters and loads of great sweet treats.

STEP 3 puts it all together in over 75 different combos. This is fast-action meal assembly that will stop you ever getting bored: try poached chicken with buckwheat and miso broth; salmon gravlax with zucchini fritters and tzatziki dressing; or turkey meatballs with waffles and pesto.
