In today's Buzzword Mix, our Buzzword is Meal Prep.
Now this is a very simple phrase. “Meal” is just the three meals we have every day, “prep” is short for preparation.
This is a quite popular trend on social media in recent years, especially before the pandemic.
今天的Buzzword我们就来聊聊, 前几年在社交媒体上很火的Meal Prep备餐这个概念.
Meal prepping is the concept of preparing whole meals or dishes ahead of schedule.
So instead of cooking the food and eating it straight away, you would prepare the food or the meal beforehand to eat it later.
For example, you would spend some time on weekends to prepare for your meals for the following week.
备餐的概念其实很简单, 比如说你在周末花多一点时间, 把下面几天或者一周的饭食都准备好, 然后到每天要吃的时候, 只用简单的加热或者加工就可以吃了。
Now this is particularly popular amongst busy people because it can save a lot of time. And having pre-prepared meals on hand can also reduce portion size and help you reach your nutrition goals.
除了可以省时间, 很多提前备餐的人也觉得这样可以更好地控制自己的portion, 就每一顿吃的分量, 并且可以更好的做到营养的均衡, 因为可以提前计算.
This way when you're super busy or when you come home exhausted from work, you're less likely to order or eat junk food.
Meal prepping is actually not a new thing. There has long been a strong culture around meal prepping, with numerous online communities, like Instagram accounts, Facebook groups, dedicated to documenting the process by sharing recipes, hacks, and even the best food containers.
不管是国内还是国外, 在各种的社交媒体上, 你都可以看到很多关于meal preps的社群或者是账号, 他们会分享recipes 菜谱, hacks一些备餐的小窍门, 甚至包括the best food containers, 会去推荐一些保存食物的容器.
