A resident of Yorktown Heights, New York, Vincent Poggioreale studied criminal justice at Westchester Community College and has worked as a safety supervisor and coordinator at B&V Contracting since 2015. He enjoys mixed martial arts and exercising at New York Sports Club in his free time. To complement his personal fitness, Vincent Poggioreale also does meal prepping. Meal planning is an effective strategy to cut grocery expenses, achieve specific fitness goals, and improve overall diet quality. For those with minimal meal prep experience, it's important to consider the following two suggestions: start small and get organized. Plan only a couple meals or snacks for the coming week and slowly alter the plan in subsequent weeks to help meet specific goals. In addition, be sure to organize your pantry, refrigerator, and kitchen to make meal prep easier and more efficient. The pantry should be stocked with healthy items, including whole grains and legumes as well as canned goods like low-sodium broth, tomato sauce, corn, and tuna. You'll also need an abundance and variety of reusable containers. Some will be used to store whole meals, while others might be used for snacks or specific ingredients like salad dressing and other liquids. Other tips include designating a space for your favorite recipes and buying in bulk when appropriate. You can elevate your system and use meal prep apps like Yummly and Platejoy.
