It\u2019s not unusual to browse social media and see someone preparing an at-home meal for their beloved pets. For me, the fascination with these posts isn\u2019t the meal in question, but rather how I almost always see comments that allude to the time commitment it would take to prepare such a meal for their pet every day.<\/p>\n

Having recently been on a meal plan for myself (prepared by a licensed doctor and nutritionist, of course), I often find myself doing a great deal of meal prep on the weekend. This makes the task of figuring out what to eat daily very easy for me. In turn, this makes it more likely that I\u2019ll stick to my meal plan.<\/p>\n

While cooking up my weekly meals over the weekend, I coincidentally had a request from my client to offer her a very low-carbohydrate recipe that would work for her cat from Monday to Friday, without her having to prepare meals every evening. This was understandable, as we all know how loud our pet cats can become when they aren\u2019t fed on time! Her cat, Ivy, prefers chicken. Therefore, I whipped up a recipe for Ivy that would last her an entire week!<\/p>\n
