National Meal Prep Day is observed worldwide every June 9. It was launched in 2021 by Phit Phuel, a Texas-based company specializing in gourmet meal preps. The day celebrates the practice of meal preparation, which involves planning and cooking meals in advance to save time and money. People engage in meal prepping to follow specific diets, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and reduce food waste. Typical customs include planning a weekly menu, grocery shopping, and cooking meals that can be stored in labeled containers in the refrigerator. Participants are encouraged to share their meal prep experiences on social media using the hashtag #NationalMealPrepDay.
