The real cost of not meal prepping
I tracked my food spending for 3 months before I started FuelPrep.
The numbers were brutal:
$14.50 average lunch (eating out near the office)
$18+ for dinner delivery 4 nights a week
$40/week on groceries that went bad because I never had time to cook
That's roughly $650/month on food that was mostly processed, inconsistent, and made me feel sluggish by 2pm.
Now I spend $79/week on prepped meals — clean protein, real vegetables, actual flavor. That's $316/month. I'm saving $300+ AND eating better than I ever did.
The math isn't even close. The time savings are the real unlock though — I got back 5-7 hours a week I used to spend ordering, waiting, cooking, and cleaning.
If you're a busy professional still winging your nutrition, you're leaving money and energy on the table.
