Hi, I'm Matt.
Meal Prep with Matt was started after I ran a full marathon. I had trained for months, and yet I was still carrying extra weight that I felt was slowing me down. Regardless of how much I exercised...I was still not losing weight. After the race, I decided I had better get my nutrition under control. I began to really pay attention to what I was eating--specifically my calorie and protein intake--and it made a huge difference! Over the course of 5 months, I lost over 20 pounds, going from 180 to 160, and my body fat percentage has dropped to 16%...something I had thought was impossible.
The secret?
Well, there is no real secret. There are a ton of 'lose weight in 30 days' articles and strategies, and I just want to share a realistic, what worked for me, approach. I'll try to avoid the 'broscience', but know that I am not a medical professional so anything you read or hear is going to be from personal experience and my own research. Also, just because it worked for me and my body type doesn't mean that it's going to work for you and your body type. So try this stuff if you want, and if you don't see results, move on and try something else. If you see results, great! Let's do this. The best thing to do is to try something, stick with it, and if it doesn't get you the results you want--be flexible and change. But don't be afraid to try.
Exercise and nutrition are very important to living a healthy, well balanced life, and I want to help you get there, if you're not already at that point. If you are, hopefully this is a resource for you to discover recipes and ideas for meal prep.

If what you're doing right now isn't working, are you willing to try something else?
