Hey guys, can we get a meal prep thread going?
I work in a sedentary job 5 days a week (ITfag), 8:30am-5:00PM Mon-Fri. I only like cooking once or twice a week for training purposes. Getting a bit sick of eggs every morning and chicken breast. Need some ideas.
What do you guys usually eat? Any good recipes that are quick and easy? What about food that you can cook Sunday, and then put in fridge/freezer and heat up?
I usually train in the evening straight after work around 5:30pm.
What do my other fit bros eat?
Hot Pockets
>Microwave for 3 minutes each pair
Wtf man you only work 40hr/week why in the world do you need quick and easy meals? Make time to cook good and fancy shit, you homo.

This. Lazy fuck, could understand if yoy worked 60 hours a week but 40 is standard.

To be clear, I only need quick and easy meals for training purposes. I guess what I mean by that is breakfast/lunch that I can take to work.
I enjoy cooking, and I make myself good macro matching dinners. :)

Has nothing to do with laziness. Don't judge just because you are a common fuckin' prole. My time is worth a lot to me, so i'd rather be efficient in my meal prep and dedicate my regained time to higher priorities in my life. I.e. Lifting, reading, studying etc.

Get yourself a slow cooker if you dont have one. you can make all kiiiinds of food with one
lately I've been on a mix and match
breakfast
>premade protein shake
>greek yogurt with berries and chia seeds
>clif bar with banana berry protein muffins
lunch
>bbq chicken breast, broccoli, green beans, mashed sweet potatoes
>teriyaki salmon, asparagus, brussels sprouts, mashed garlic potatoes
dinner
>turkey meatballs with whole wheat pita and hummus
>tilapia with steamed vegetables
>egg beater omelete with turkey sausage and English muffin
>turkey, black bean, and corn chili
>etc
just find stuff that fits your macros and calories (I'm on a cut so I'm looking at 1600 kcal/day, 140 protein, 40 fat, 160 carbs). may take some practice and research but it's worth it
also go train in the morning, get a shower, then go to work. you'll have more time to do productive stuff/dick around on 4chan in the evenings.

I make lunches for the week. This is a batch from a few months ago. This week is 3 lbs of chicken, 36 oz of veggies, and 2 cups of rice with teriyaki sauce.
You'll probably find better answers on Pinterest tbqh
