Mastering
Meal Prep
with Strength
Chef
There are many diet trends that
come and go and each year. Yet,
even with the best intentions, it
is not easy to keep a healthy diet
and stay on top of what we eat.
One of the things you can do to
help yourself eat healthy consistently
is get organised with meal
preparation. By carefully
planning and eating pre-made
meals instead of relying on
ordering expensive takeaways or
having to cook something up
last-minute, you’re guaranteed
to eat good quality food and
save yourself some money at the
same time.
You can use meal prep as
a tool to lose weight,
gain muscle mass, or simply to keep
in line with a healthy lifestyle. It’s
effective because you’re in control
of what you eat and you can make it
fun by trying out new recipes and
new flavours.
Someone who understands this
from personal experience is Megan
Gee, founder of Strength Chef.
Megan specialises in planning and
prepping meals for her clients and
delivers across Oxfordshire.
Six years ago, while studying sports
education, Megan started putting on
weight. She felt unhappy with her
diet and decided to prep meals for
herself to better control what she
was eating. At that time in her life,
she also travelled to the Far East
and explored new foods, flavours
and cuisine, which she incorporated
in her meal prep when she returned.
When discussing with Megan about
the importance our diet has in our
lives, she pointed out that today
there are two major issues leading
to an unhealthy diet: a lack of
education for how to put together a
well-balanced meal and the very
limited time people have to cook at
home.
For that, Megan offers to meet her
clients to understand their personal
goals and will plan a fully-customised
meal plan for them. This can
cover breakfast, lunch and dinner.
She takes into account any dietary
requirements and allergies. Megan
then prepares the meals and does
a delivery run twice a week so her
clients eat fresh, homemade meals,
instead of freezing them.
Megan takes pride in preparing
colourful and vibrant meals, having
learnt a love for cooking from her
parents. She’s also greatly inspired
by other chefs. Megan strongly
believes that wellbeing is all about
feeling good on the inside as much
as our external appearance. By
providing a personalised service
catered exclusively to each client,
she gives her clients the best
chance at achieving their goals.
Pricing starts at £5 per meal.
