>>36085652
Yeh, you make it in advance then eat it later
>>36085652

>>36085652
Eat your meals later, after making them in advance.

don't store in plastic, all plastic has BPA and WILL lead to estrogen spikes and give you lower test and bigger tits
>>36085652
Fuck preparation, eat your food in advance for maximum gains.
Only way you're going to make it.

very little protein in that diet looks like a bitchs diet
>>36087741
Middle row is 100% protein.
>>36085652
Wow. If you scroll down when zoomed in on pic related it will look like your just zooming into the food at the top. What a time to be alive
I can give you 2 easy steps:
1. Buy a slow cooker.
2. Use it.
>>36087741
Just eyeballing that shit, looks like on the left there's a half cup dry rice, leg of chicken, green beans. Sounds fine. Granola bars of unknown protein content, sweet potato, more chicken and broccoli, random hodge-podge of rice pepper probably beans and other shit. Random veggies up top. Looks balanced. Also, doesn't take into account that protein shakes shouldn't be meal-prepped.
8/10 diet right thur.
Got a deep fryer. Next I'm buying a slowcooker.
>>36085652
how would i get started into this?
I don't get meal prep at all. I'm quite a decent cook, but I'm clueless when it comes to how long shit will keep.
Like, I buy frozen chicken. When I defrost and cook it, is it safe to then refrigerate and re-heat?
And rice. People say not to keep cooked rice for more than a day, or it'll give you the shits. But I see plenty of guys like in OP's post preparing rice several days in advance. Again, which is it?
>>36088827
Chickens fine if it's cooked and your rice wknt give you the shits
>>36085652
Reporting in. I cook a whole chicken every Sunday and split it into my lunches for the week.
>>36088984
>no rice
>ripped the fuck up- chicken
what is wrong with you
>>36088984
This week was chicken w/ onion, celery, and carrot, and some nice garlic rosemary roasted potatoes.
>>36089003
>not ripping your chicken the fuck up
>>36089003
Rice has shit macros and micros. It's good for feeding 1 billion chongs and 1 billion poo-in-loos, but is really just a meme.
As for the chicken, I just pull it straight off the carcass with my fingers when it's nice and tender, deboning as I go.
>>36085652
prepare the meal and after you eat it
What kind of containers are these that you're buying? Are they reusable?
>>36089066
Yes they're reusable you autist
dont cook vegetables like broccolio before hand it looses its nutrition value when kept in the fridge for a couple of days, it ok though if you have a freezebox
>>36089222
freezer not freeze box sorry english not 1st language
>>36085652
just bought 16 containers and gonna prep for the week for the first time. How far ahead should i prep, 5 days, 7days? when do the meals start to taste funky?(chicken, rice and vegies)
>>36089620
I find most food will last a good week or so if it's fresh when you prepare it
Say that I was gonna store chicken with some curry sauce/spices. How would I reheat this? Microwave?
Any advice is appreciated, I'm retarded when it comes to meal prep.
>>36088984
>>36089009
>Cook a whole chicken
>Eating the same meal 5 days in a row
Bitch buy some fucking chicken breasts, marinate them with different juices/sauces and you instantly have different meals.
A chicken marinated in orange juice tastes completely different than one in lemon juice.
>>36089946
I'm not a whiny faggot that gets upset if he has the same tendies two days in a row.
>>36089969
Not gonna make it.
>>36085652
>on Saturday
>not Sunday
Fuckingnunacceptable
>>36090026
being disciplined enough to treat food as a source of energy instead of something to enjoy means he isnt gunna make it?
>>36089620
If you freeze, it can last several months without any noticeable change in taste
do you guys go for fresh veggies or the frozen vege mixes? does it matter that much id prefer to just go with the frozen stuff, and how should i cook it? it says to boil it but as we all know you shouldn't boil veggies
>>36090046
Being a stuck up bitch that literally only thinks about gym time means he isn't going to make it. Nigger will be hanging by his shoelaces in the shower room in a year.
>>36090101
I usually cook frozen veggies in a pan on like medium temp.
>>36090280
any oils? or seasoning? my vegan sister puts it in a pan with coconut oil, water and some sugary garlic crap.
>>36085652
BPA plastic only.
>>36090311
Take some raw garlic, wait till it browns and then put your vegetables in. As they're cooking, sprinkle some seasoning (mortons seasoning salt is god tier) over it.
>there are people out there who meal prep and count calories
ever since i stopped giving a fuck about food and ate whatever i've gotten stronger and more muscular. ask any big guy at your gym and theyll tell you they dont do any of this shit either.
>>36090453

>>36087177
Tabule salads?
>>36090999
nice get
How do you make them not soggy after a couple of days?
>>36091011
maybe try letting it cool to room temp then put it in the fridge. my mom cooks for the week on sunday and has always done this and i have never noticed food getting soggy
>>36089222
It's alright to keep Broccoli raw in the fridge though right? I put raw Brocc in with my chicken and it cooks a little when I reheat the chicken. Still pretty raw though, I like it crunchy.
>>36087099
Why would glass Jews want you to buy plastic...?
>>36085652
I might as well just make a bunch of chicken breast/eggs/vegetables trays
that's basically 95% of my diet seems like
fuck cutting btw
>>36090453
I don't do it either anymore because I learnt how actually cook by working in a couple of kitchens.
I only "prep" grocery shopping trips now but cook every day. I just cook a huge dinner and have leftovers for lunch the next day. It's better that way because I hate non fresh food.
meal prep really takes the fun out of eating because food sit in the fridge for too long. Having fresh food everyday is good
>>36091045
No it will turn into a dog turd if you keep broccoli in the fridge.
>>36088087
I don't know why, but I chuckled
Meal prepping is a good idea for beginners IMO. When I first started out it wasn't really eating the right foods, but more like having to cook it every single day. Most of my meals would only take 15 minutes tops to cook too.
I found personally (due to work schedule) that prepping for 3/4 days at a time worked for me. If you have the room I'd say go for it. Though for my mental wellbeing I had 2/3 different types of foods every other day
As an example day ones breakfast would be an egg salad with mushrooms, capsicum, tomato and avocado. The next would be salmon with spinach and avocado. I like avocado. Both of these kept well for the 3 days.
I'd keep the same basic set up each batch but would cycle between say rice, lentils and black beans for my carb source at dinner. Chicken, venison and steak for my protein and just portion it correctly to fit my macros.
So yeah for beginners I'd say go for it, once you've done it for long enough it's not necessary. It's just like weight training in general, it eventually becomes natural.
>>36088307
gimme some recipes nigga

>I just cook a huge dinner and have leftovers for lunch the next day.
