Mediterranean Meal Prep
Mediterranean meal prep leans on olive oil, fish, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, with red meat used sparingly. It's one of the easier ways to eat well without counting anything — though the macros are published on every dish if you want them.

Dietary filters
- Olive oil rather than butter, fish and legumes rather than red meat, whole grains rather than refined.
- Nothing is banned, so it's the easiest of these diets to stay on without tracking anything.
- Macros are still published on every dish for the weeks you do want to count.
- Depends on fresh produce and good oil, which is what independent chefs cooking weekly are best placed to do.
Mediterranean eating is a pattern rather than a rulebook: olive oil as the main fat, fish and seafood several times a week, legumes and vegetables in volume, whole grains over refined ones, nuts, herbs and citrus doing the seasoning, and red meat as an occasional thing rather than a default.
A week from a Prepared chef reads like actual cooking — grilled fish with lemon and herbs, chicken with olives and tomato, white bean stews, roasted vegetable and farro bowls, lentil soups, salads with feta. The chefs cooking it are independent and local, working fresh each week, which suits this style: it depends on good vegetables and decent olive oil far more than on technique.
It's one of the easier ways to eat well without tracking anything, because nothing is forbidden and portions look normal. That said, every dish still publishes protein, carbs, fat and calories, so if you are counting — for training, for a deficit, for anything else — the numbers are there. Portions can be adjusted if you tell the chef before their weekly cutoff.

Mediterranean meal prep — common questions
- What makes a meal Mediterranean?
- Olive oil instead of butter, fish and legumes as the main proteins, vegetables in volume, and whole grains rather than refined ones.
- Is there meat on a Mediterranean menu?
- Some. Chicken and lamb turn up, just not every night — fish, seafood and legumes carry most of the week, with red meat used sparingly rather than banned.
- Do I have to count anything?
- No, and that's part of the appeal. The macros are published on every dish if you want them, but Mediterranean eating is a pattern rather than a set of numbers.
