She said she also packs the food into their containers and uses 'some kind of Tetris magic' to stack them all into the fridge.
In their most recent effort to make food for themselves, their children and Krystal's parents the family fridge looked like it would burst in a moment.
'I usually prep three or four meals for three days but sometimes I have extra,' she said.

The Howard family chose oatmeal, berries and almonds for their breakfast this time - and meal prepped three different meals.
These included a meal of cowboy caviar, flour tortillas and chicken and lime drumstick.
Anther featuring a ground bison egg roll bowl, boiled egg and broccoli and the final meal, usually served as dinner consisted of a pork tenderloin, shrimp, nann bread, Roman lettuce and chicken pesto salad.
Krystal revealed they meal-prep twice a week, making breakfasts, lunches and dinners for six
And her efforts were definitely notice by people on the foodie Facebook group where she posted her latest meal ideas.
'I am not sure how I stumbled across this greatness but I love it,' one woman said.
Another admitted she would be stalking the woman's Facebook for meal ideas in the future.
'Mouth watering, honestly those are some lucky family members,' said another who also commended the fact everyone 'pitches in' to get the meal prepping done.
Chicken wings were on the menu for lunch this week, she revealed
The family have a 'free' dinner night on Saturdays where they order takeaway and eat 'off menu'.
Krystal previously snapped photos of her perfectly portioned meals and shared them to Facebook on Wednesday, inspiring others to give food planning a try to save on money and time.
'So I'm trying to get my family of four to eat healthier,' she captioned her post.
'My parents wanted to join my efforts so I meal prepped grab and go meals for them too.'

For lunch her family were treating themselves to even fancier options, with salmon, roasted potatoes, and broccoli with parmesan sprinkled on top
Her two breakfast options included a meal of grapefruit, almonds, and grapes, or a DIY 'banana boat' with keto granola, vanilla yogurt and blueberries.

On a separate day they could indulge in sausage, butternut squash, bacon and brussels sprouts, with a lean bison taco salad to round out the list.
'I added some leftover rotisserie chicken for my husband because he doesn't eat fish,' she added.

It didn't take long for other parents to congratulate Krystal on her ingenious forethought, calling the dishes 'amazing' and 'envy-inducing'.
'Omg can I come join your family. I hate meal prep but need to start doing it,' one woman responded to the thread of comments.
'Wow you could charge for a service like this,' said another.

A third added: 'How do you even mentally prepare to prep food?? I've been trying for a long time and I just can't bring myself to it. I'm a first time mother of a 17-month-old boy and I'm pregnant with my second child and it's hard to even process this'.
Each of the meals were divided in black plastic storage containers so that wet and dry products were separated and would therefore last longer in the freezer.
While it doesn't cover a full week of eating it certainly helps to organise each of the family members to a certain extent, making each day easier to manage.
