Intro: Meal prep doesn’t have to be overwhelming or boring. When done right, it’s one of the most effective tools for maintaining consistent energy, fuelling performance, and avoiding decision fatigue.

This RB100 challenge asks you to prep 100 healthy meals in 30 days — that’s just 3–4 meals per day. With the right strategy, it becomes an achievable and powerful nutritional reset.


Why Meal Prep?

  • Saves time, money, and energy throughout the week
  • Reduces reliance on ultra-processed or takeaway food
  • Increases control over macros and ingredients
  • Builds structure around your nutrition habits

The Numbers

  • 3 meals/day × 30 days = 90 meals → Add 10 snacks or batch meals to hit 100
  • Batch-cooking = 1 meal × 4 portions = 4 meals prepped
  • You don’t have to prep everything in advance — just plan and track

What Counts as a “Healthy Meal”?

  • Balanced macros: lean protein, fibre-rich carbs, healthy fats
  • Minimal ultra-processed ingredients
  • Whole foods as the base (veg, grains, legumes, protein sources)
  • Hydration-supporting, not sugar-laden

5 Tips for Success

  1. Start simple: pick 3 go-to meals you enjoy
  2. Batch cook: roast veg, cook grains, portion proteins
  3. Use containers: portion out 2–3 days ahead
  4. Log it: use a whiteboard, tracker app, or printed log
  5. Stay flexible: you’re aiming for 100 — not perfection
