The proposed meal prep method is supported by very solid scientific and behavioral data. A cross-sectional observational study from the University of Washington shows that planning and cooking meals at home is directly associated with better overall diet quality. Regarding skipping the first meal of the day, a meta-analysis of observational studies published in the journal *Nutrients* associates this habit with an increased risk of metabolic imbalances and fatigue. However, another meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in *The BMJ* adds nuance to this point by showing that breakfast is not an absolute requirement for everyone, particularly for weight loss, as mandating it can increase daily caloric intake for some profiles. The primary value of Kylie Sakaida's tip therefore lies in the sheet-pan cooking method, a technique validated by nutrition expert opinions for reducing the mental load and friction associated with preparing healthy meals. It is a pragmatic organizational tool, ideal for establishing a stable, low-pressure routine.
