Meal prep can mean a lot of different things for different people. It can be a way to feel more comfortable with cooking when you’re just starting out. It can be a tool to keep the cost of groceries in check.

No matter what your motivations are, meal prep can teach valuable lessons that go way beyond the kitchen.

So we asked 10 people — from staffers, to readers, to bloggers and authors we love — to share how meal prep has changed their lives in ways big and small.

Things I’m Up to and Interested In

Great news: The American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes both officially approve of low-carb diets.

Phrase I’m digging: “Big Pasta.”

Historical quirk I’ve always loved: The Chinese obsession with mangos during the Cultural Revolution.

Essay I enjoyed: How low-ish carb makes sustainable dieting as easy as breathing.

I’m seeing a lot of “causal” language that I don’t think is warranted (and I’m no fan of sugar): Too much sugar “makes children more violent and more likely to get drunk or smoke.”

Comment of the Week
