I'm Asian, I love my ricccceeeeee!! Hence, when it comes to my meal prep, of course, I'm going to add some Asian flavours to it! Here are some of my favourite and easy recipes. This is for 3 days!

p/s of course, I don't eat like this every single day depending on my schedule and if I do travel. But as much as I can, I love to cook for myself because that means I'm in control of what I eat and that's the easiest way to stay healthy and fit.

The total calories for all the meals are just above 1200cals. This does not include a pre or post workout snack. So I’d give myself another 300 - 400 calorie allowance. And I may even add another meal on my workout days.

This is just a guideline. Your calorie intake will be differ based on your body composition & fitness goal. Increase the portion accordingly.
