Dont prepay your meals in the hotel. You will be missing out on what is probably the main attraction for me in Bali. Food. (yes I am a little overweight because I do love my tucker. I guess this makes me qualified to comment.)
The number and variety of restaurants is such that you could stay for a year and not eat in the same place twice. Get out and try the restaurants. If you are worried about hygiene most places are okay. Provided the food is cooked and served hot you will be fine.
You will also save money.
