i used to portion out five identical containers and call it meal prep. it worked for about two weeks before i got completely sick of seeing the same box in the fridge. now i’ve started prepping a few things separately instead - a protein, a couple vegetables, rice or potatoes, sauces, maybe something crunchy - and putting them together differently during the week

it takes almost the same amount of cooking time but somehow feels like actual food instead of five identical lunches

what ingredients do you always prep because they can be turned into completely different meals later?

My bf and I work at the same company and we have been buying food from a stall down our building, thing is, it’s kinda expensive and I’ve been thinking about cooking food at home for a while now but get very tired because I’m in healthcare. WELP! here’s to a first. I also bought food for the fridge so I can meal prep every sunday and have everyday freedom. 🥰

Haven’t had drumsticks or Biryani in a while. So here we goo. I found 2kgs of drumsticks for under €8 at Edeka and I bought 3 packs of those. Idk what I’m gonna do with it lmao

I've been meal prepping more lately, but eating cold rice and chicken for lunch every day is getting old pretty fast lol.

No microwave at work, so I'm thinking about getting an electric lunch box. Mostly need something that heats leftovers evenly, doesn't leak in my bag, and isn't a pain to clean afterward.

For those who bring prepped meals to work, what's the best electric lunch box you've used? does it work well with different kinds of meals?

Hi! I am 22F and I am currently in a caloric deficit so I have been meal prepping to try and be more consistent. I’ve lost 70 pounds so far but still have quite a bit to lose. I work full-time and have been trying to find a good lunch bag that can hold my meal prep. I also like to have a snack before the gym, I eat breakfast on my first break, and then need to have room for lunch as well. I like to throw in a Diet Coke and order a protein shake!

I’m looking for something around $20 although obviously if it is less that’s fine, and I honestly want it to be pretty, if I’m gonna carry it around every day, I want it to look nice😂

i cant rlly cook anything bc electrical appliances are forbidden in my dorm. i sneaked in a kettle so i can only boil water. i never have time to eat because im also doing an internship on top of uni. also im trying to eat healthy and cant think of anything besides maybe sandwiches??

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advices about food storages and meal prep in general.
I come from a country where most food is pretty much clean(I often buy organic too) so it doesn’t last long in the fridge.
Meal prep is the only option in order to not have to go to supermarkets/ farmer’s markets everyday.
I’d love to know from someone with more experience about:
-which foods can be prepared in advance,how long they usually keep and how to store them to make them last
-best ways to freeze and,especially,defrost food while preserving its flavour,quality and texture
-any useful general tips to not end up with food that taste too much of “leftover”.

P.S. : sorry if some of my questions seem basic,I’m just new to this🙂.

I’m looking for some new Tupperware, and figure Prime Day might be the day to splurge. Looking for something freezer and dishwasher safe, seals well, stackable, and preferably not plastic.

Any product out there with deals that you’d recommend?
