The incredibly organised 'meal prep queens' who spend Sundays making a week's worth of healthy food (4)

Perfectly packed: If you're going to start meal prepping, an investment in good quality food containers is a must

Egg-cellent: Instagrammers like The Healthy Chef show that meal prep doesn't have to be just chicken and rice based

Some fitness foodies are hardcore about their meal prepping. Health and wellness blogger Sophie Benbow recently posted about how she meal preps for a 12 hour road trip.

Whilst most people would resign themselves to the fact that they'd be forced to eat at fast food stops on the highway and service stations, Ms Benbow takes meal prepping to the next level and prepares her very healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks in advance.

The downside of meal prepping is it requires quite a lot of planning and Tupperware. Plus if you have a sudden craving for a particular food in the middle of the week that isn't part of your plan, you're either going to waste a prepared meal or go without what your body wants.

Ultimately though, even if you're not into meal prepping yourself, the photos of others efforts on Instagram are so perfect looking that it might inspire you to be a little healthier.
