How does Katie Lolas keep her meals fresh? 

* Protein must be cooked well done

* Ensure food is covered in the refrigerator

* Place a small square of paper towel inside your salad container to keep greens fresh all week

* Add water to your carrot and celery stick containers to keep them hydrated and crunchy

* Lightly spray avocado with cooking oil before refrigerating 

* Hot food must be cool before refrigeration and all food must stay refrigerated until you are ready to eat (as it is only safe to reheat food once) 

Meal prep queen Katie Lolas recently posed alongside her bag and said it was her go-to for carrying her elaborate meal preps to and from the office in style. 

‘This is what I use to carry my prep to and from work. It looks like an average handbag from the outside, but the front compartment opens outwards so I can stack my containers and they don’t spill,’ she wrote. 

‘I have both sizes that it comes in and have been using their bags for around 6 months now. I probably use the larger size most because I’m forever lugging around marking and my MacBook.’  

The 32-year-old Sydney-based teacher preps all of her breakfasts, lunches and snacks on Sundays to ensure she stays healthy and in shape no matter the season and regularly shares her tips on social media.
