Meal Prep Ideas Under 400 Calories

When time allows I offer meal prep service to those in need. Nothing incredibly fancy. Just sticking to the basics and making sure the food is healthy.

This order asked for 5 meals. With 3 being the same and 2 others being different. Each one is under 400 calories and the whole thing took less than 60 minutes to finish.

How I did it

• I started with the sweet potatoes because they take the longest to cook. Oven at 385. I diced the SP and drizzled olive oil, sea salt, & cinnamon on them. Tossed in the oven for 20 minutes

• I used the electric skillet for the protein choices. First I did the ground turkey. I weighed out 4oz chunks then separated them in half. Used Mrs Dash’s Original Seasoning on them. Cooked on the skillet till each side is brown.

• While they were cooking, I washed and diced up the asparagus, and put them on a pan with olive oil spray. Tossing them around every few minutes. 
• Also, I started boiling water for the broccoli.
• Ground Turkey and Asparagus was done around the same time. I bowled them both.

• Took out the sweet potatoes, mixed them up, then put them back in the oven for 20 more minutes
• Clean the skillet. Measured, cut, and seasoned the chicken same as the turkey. 

• Toss the broccoli into the boiling water.
• Boiled more water for the pasta & rice.
• Measure out 2oz of pasta, and 1 cup of rice (makes 2 cooked), and tossed in water
• Flipped the chicken after about 12-14 minutes.
• Sweet potatoes were done. Took them out and separated them into their bowls.
• Broccoli done. Separated them too.
• Chicken, Rice, and Pasta all done.
• Chopped one serving of chicken and tossed into the pasta with the sauce. Letting cook for a couple minutes

• Other serving of chicken I layered with bbq sauce
• Layered a bowl with spinach before putting pasta over it.
• Clean and Done!
