Why Meal Prep Matters for Fitness


Nutrition is 70-80% of your fitness results. You can't out-train a bad diet. But preparing healthy meals daily is time-consuming and often leads to giving up. That's where meal prep comes in.


Halal Protein Sources for Athletes


Chicken Breast — The gold standard. 31g protein per 100g, low fat. Grill, bake, or air-fry in bulk.


Lean Beef — Rich in iron and B12. 26g protein per 100g. Great for bulking phases.


Fish (Salmon, Tuna) — Omega-3 rich. 20-25g protein per 100g. Essential for recovery.


Eggs — Versatile and affordable. 13g protein per 100g. Hard-boil a dozen for the week.


Lentils & Chickpeas — Plant protein powerhouses. Perfect for vegetarian days.


Sample Meal Prep Day (Sunday)


Morning (2 hours):

1. Season and bake 1.5kg chicken breast

2. Cook 3 cups rice in rice cooker

3. Roast mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini)

4. Hard-boil 12 eggs

5. Prepare overnight oats (5 portions)


Result: 5 days of lunches and dinners ready to go.
