Romeo is a nutrition coach known as the “food prep princess” who focuses on promoting her meal plans. This book is fairly straightforward, providing a five-step plan to get readers started with healthy meal prepping. People with allergies may appreciate the specialized-diet plans, including dairy-free and gluten-free options. Those who are meal prepping because they eat away from home, however, may find Romeo’s reheating instructions limiting when she calls for reheating on a stove or in an oven. The book includes a somewhat limited “approved foods” list that might be helpful for people just getting started, though people who struggle with disordered eating might find it triggering. While several of the meal plans are set up to support specific nutritional needs like low-carb or high-protein, no nutritional data has been provided to help readers understand how these plans meet their needs. Much of the content seems to have been previously published in Romeo’s 2019 The Visual Guide to Easy Meal Prep.
VERDICT There are better options available, as this book has hits and misses.
