With busy schedules in full swing, maintaining a healthy diet can be challenging. Meal preparation is one way to maintain control over your food intake for a stress-free, cost-effective approach in achieving your summer diet goals. Meal preparation can take many ways, shapes and forms. Jessica Hicks, RD, Dietitian at NorthShore, shares a few examples of what meal prep looks like:

Prepare meals for five days or just one

Prepare each meal in its entirety

Prepare separate ingredients (i.e. cut vegetables and cook meats) to speed up the cooking process later No matter how far you take it, meal preparation is recommended to ensure you have time to properly consider your food intake and create meals you will enjoy.

Benefits to meal preparation

Meal preparation allows for you to eat your favorite meals while pre-determined portion sizes ensure you don’t overindulge. Having a collection of well-balanced meals on hand will help you regulate what you eat and help you stay on track with your personal diet goals. If the health benefits alone have not convinced you to consider meal preparation, consider the financial gains. Having food prepared at home will help you save money as it prevents you from eating out. Along with this, meal preparation gives you complete control over ingredients, giving you the ability to selectively shop for groceries. With proper planning, you can prevent making unnecessary food purchases, saving you money and reducing food waste.

Strategies for successful meal preparation

Meal preparation requires, well, preparation! Plan ahead. Consider your budget, favorite foods and- most importantly - consider your personal goals. Gather recipes that include ingredients from each food group to ensure balanced meals (including protein, starch and vegetables). From there, make a grocery list, map out portions and start cooking!

Tips to try today:

Cook in large batches-particularly grains as they take a long time to cook- to save time and energy Freeze any food that you won’t be able to eat within five days

Make sure you have plenty of single meal-sized containers for storage

Whether it’s planning for a week of meals or just the day before, meal preparation can ease your stress and help you stay on track with your health and wellness goals. With a healthy meal plan that you create, you are sure to enjoy each meal and advance your culinary skills in the process!

Does PrEP work after 1 hour?

There is not a reason to be concerned because of the type of sex, however how you took PrEP, it would be unlikely to work. This is because the body needs time to absorb the HIV medication. 1 hour is not long enough to do this, which is why there is a minimum of 2 hours required.

Q and A

Question

I took PrEP one hour before sex.

I had oral sex but didn’t swallow. I took 2 PrEP only an hour before instead of 2 hours before. I’m missing 2 teeth that have not been filled in yet causing my gums to bleed.

Should I be worried about this because I didn’t take it 2 hours before?

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

No you should not be worried. Oral sex carries a very low risk of transmission. Saliva contains antiviral properties making transmission via oral sex very difficult as the virus is often killed in the saliva. There is not a reason to be concerned because of the type of sex, however how you took PrEP, it would be unlikely to work. This is because the body needs time to absorb the HIV medication. 1 hour is not long enough to do this, which is why there is a minimum of 2 hours required. It needs this time to build up the level of PrEP within your body to a level that can afford protection.
