My Name is Anthony Locast and I’m the CFO and co-owner of LI Meal Prep.  Eating with variety, nutrition and moderation were all core values I grew up with.  I, too, was lucky to grow up in a household where good food was a must.  

As a professional trainer who ran strength and weight-loss programs, I quickly learned that proper consumption of our 3  macronutrients along with creating a significant calorie-deficit were the most challenging factors of my clients’ fitness journeys.  Whether their goal was to gain muscle mass or lose weight or both, a proper diet was essential.  However, the most important aspect of the process was actually liking the food enough to maintain their habits

My clients were struggling to eat low calorie foods because of the taste, finding it difficult to eat proper portions and avoid overeating, or just didn't have the time to cook for themselves so they ate an easier, more convenient dinner even though it was unhealthy.  It was at this point that I realized that most food service companies do not offer a tailor-fit meal prep designed for each individual’s needs in terms of calories and macros.  I founded Long Island Meal Prep to solve these very issues while offering better tasting food at a very affordable price!
