Do you meal prep?

Question

I have terrible anxiety eating in front of others at work due to my ed so In the past I’d go 6-9 hours without eating till I got home. Now I’ll get an hour long break and can drive somewhere and pull over to eat and chill. I’m thinking that meal prepping even in general would be a good idea for me to do. Want to know if anyone else does it

Answer

I dont have anxiety eating in front of others, and you already know that's something to work on so I hope you are. But yes I do a lot of meal prep because I'm vegan and I like healthy food and don't like to spend a ton of money eating from restaurants every lunchtime. 
One of my favorites is lentil pasta, cooled, put pesto (I make it vegan but you can use whatever kind you like) and diced fresh veggies like cucumber, red onion. 
Tabouli is another really quick and easy one to prep ahead for the whole week. 
Or I will do a kale salad and use lots of veggies and nuts and seeds on top with tahini dressing, tahini is highly nutritious and the dressing I make with lemon juice is probably my favorite food on anything.
If I make soup I'll heat some in the morning and carry it in a thermos to keep it warm. 
I mean there are endless options. Sandwiches, wraps, any cold pasta salads, all of that is a good idea to bring for lunch.

I go to the nearby park for lunch because I like my quiet time after dealing with people all day. I make my lunch the night before, heat it up at work and leave 🤷 I like cold lunches or snack boxes because it's easier to grab and go

Answer

I LOVE meal prepping. I don’t have food anxiety, but I have found that it helps me stay on track with a healthier diet and keeps me from making unhealthy choices because it is all prepared. I keep “stables” like washed veggies, greens, fruits, rice etc in my fridge ready to go so I can make salads/dishes etc the night before. I also cook a lot through the week specifically Sunday so I have lots of left overs or versatile ingredients like a good granola, a potato dish, some form of meat, beans, lentils, eggs etc!

Answer

Does making a sandwich and rinsing an apple count as meal prepping? 😅 (I’m not a skilled cook, lol.)
But seriously, I admire people who meal prep. It’s a great thing to do. And I too prefer to just chill away from other people while on lunch break. I wish you the best with your anxiety! ❤️
