We are pretty excited about a meeting we recently had! Tyler and Steph from Capitol city fit meals approached us about making Harvest CrossFit a drop off location for their meal prep service. And through our conversation, we've come to find out that they also have worked on and through the Precision Nutrition program so we share the same ideas about healthy food.
What I've come to realize is that rather than weighing and measuring and making absolutely sure that all your food is paleo. I just want you to eat food, real food, and enough food. Honestly, just doing that is hard enough. But once you can do that eat-real-food thing, then we want each time you eat to include protein, vegetables, carbs, and fat. And even then, eating all these elements at each meal is still nearly impossible for many of you.
Now, I love cooking and hope that you would learn to as well, but a meal service is a great opportunity to just invest in a little help getting at least one meal of the day to include everything you need and in appropriate amounts. I personally have learned what little I know about cooking from eating. I'm inspired by things I get when I eat out and notice how things are likely prepared, so even though these meals are being prepped for me, I'm pretty sure I'll be expanding my own cooking repertoire as well!
Meal prepped for yourself before? Do you prep the whole week? Half of the week? Meal preppers often tell me "I know meal prepping is helping me stay on track, but I get tired of the same lunch every single day." (not Mac, she can eat the same meal over and over and over again). Capitol City Fit meals preps your whole week of unique lunch and breakfast options. No meal repeats for at least 6 weeks!
My Recommendation// I know a lot of you go on kicks where you'll prep healthy stuff for about a week or two, then get busy, then get used to buying lunch at work, or skipping lunch until it's time to cram all the food after work. If you're one of those, give it a shot. You'll probably find the investment worth it.
Worried about the cost? Maybe don't order meals this upcoming week, but wait until you need to go grocery shopping again and check out the week's menu and just guess at how much it would cost you to go out and buy the ingredients for the Capitol City Fit Meals. For example, next week has Turkey, Tri-Tip, Chicken, and Pork for the meats. I personally don't have the time or want even to buy and prep that many different protein sources in one week. And hey, you can choose just week at a time, so you could just get a week as a treat-yo-self. Oh and as a part of HCF you get a $1 per meal discount too!
There are three size options, and the descriptions are on our order page. I would consider ordering the Performance size first as a trial. Eat them slow and mindfully and decide if you'll need more or less food. If you need more, the Build option should satisfy. If you need less, the fit size will probably do, or maybe the Performance size could serve as two meals.
Oh and by the way, this was just a normal blog post. Just because there was a product attached to it, doesn't mean it was a sales pitch! Meal prepping is awesome for busy people, you're all busy.
Next week, I'll talk about Supplements, whether or not to Rx the WOD, Competition Nutrition, Sleep Rituals, and Calorie Counting! Oh and leave a comment if you have sweet ideas for other interesting topics.
