Today I was up at 7am. I ate my breakfast, showered up, drove to work and began my busy personal training schedule. I took on 3 hours of office work and broke through a list of clients that needed to be phoned so that they can pencil in their personal training session. Finally I needed to fit in 5 meals. This is often a difficult task as cooking takes time but I got it all covered on Sunday. I spent under an hour over the stove and racked up 9 meals. Take full advantage of this convenient habit. Here are my to 5 tips for batch cooking.

Vegetables can lose micronutrients when they are cooked so get your salads on the go.
