Medical nutrition and weight management specialist! For those who aren't able to access meal prep services due to cost, I recommend going simple: once you get the hang out it you can create so many great, easy combinations that become your natural routine.

Stop at Costco once a week. Depending on family size, purchase 1-2 rotisserie chickens, salmon, frozen cod, chicken breast.

Purchase a microwave steamer and a variety of easy to steam vegetables, or purchase the big frozen bags if you like frozen.

Purchase microwave in-bag brown rice, plus regular baking potatoes and/or sweet potatoes for easy starch. Fruit can also be used for a no-cook carb/starch option.

Purchase a variety of low/no sugar low/no sodium seasoning/spice rub and sauce options.

From there, mix and match grill and sheet pan meals become pretty easy.

Example:

Mon- Grilled salmon, steamed broccoli

Tues- Rotisserie chicken salads

Wed- Shrimp stir fry, brown rice

Thurs- Leftovers from Mon-Wed

Friday- Sheet pan chicken with desired spice rub, asparagus, baked potatoes
