No. Fuck off.

I can't imagine the level of disconnect you'd need from mainstream existence to think this is a new phenomena or only got popular in the last 6 months

>>12441265
Very cutting-edge stuff there zoomie

>>12441271
Ok.
>>12441272

>>12441300
>Its meal prep
No shit faggot. I'd blow my brains out before eating the same shit food that many times in a row. None of that is even food that takes a long time to make.

>>12441300

Imagine the smell.

>>12441317
Actually he is correct as long as he is referring to multiple instances of a phenomenon
I.e. phenomena
>>12441324

>>12441324
I want to tuch it.

>>12441480
In what way could "meal prep" be multiple phenomena? It's a phenomenon. Which, by the way, is just another word for "thing."

>>12441324
Please tell me this big assed slut does porn.

>>12441480

Wrong. The post said "a new phenomena." The presence of the indefinite article "a" indicates that the noun to follow is singular, i.e. not plural. "Phenomenon" is singular. "Phenomena" is plural. It would be correct to write "some new phenomena" if one were writing of more than one phenomenon.

In other words, git gud fagit

It was first popular among bodybuilders so they could force themselves to stick to a certain diet for nutritional reasons, but it became popular among normies because it's also an "epic lifehack" to save time (only have to cook once a week) and money (force yourself to eat a cheap meal instead of being tempted to just go out for lunch).

>>12441265
if you arnt bodybuilding then yea its a meme and even then i just prep the protein source and make whatever else i need with each meal

>>12441265
no
soup cylinders

>>12442496
People have been making meals ahead of time since fucking refrigerators became popular.
It ramped up in the '70s in southern california because of Price Club, the proto-Costco, and because of how ubiquitous Tupperware was. Homeschoolers were super into it back in the '80s.

All these "Meal Prep is a Meme" threads are started by the same guy (hello, guy, who hurt you?)
Meal prep/crockpots/vegetables/"leftovers" are equated with emasculation.
Guy, write a manifesto already so we can read it pls.

>>12441265
My sister is doing it, and my mom started talking to me about it after she read about it on facebook (offered to get me a meal prep cookbook), so yes, it does seem to be a big fad (i.e. what normies call their memes).

It makes me happy that its become cool to cook for yourself. I want everyone to grow up happy and healthy.

>>12445898
I agree it's not new, people have been doing this for decades. And it has always sucked, I'm sure it's good for your macros but it's torture to know what you'll be eating for the next 3 weeks, believe me I've done it. There's nothing more disheartening than losing control over your dinner

I always see people using egg or rice. Does the egg not get soggy and the rice not get dry? I usually just make a big pot of something rather than segmented meals

>>12441265
No, people have done it for years, idiot.

>>12445992
People were also using pumpkin spice for various purposes, AND THEN it became a fad.

Becoming a meme this year doesn't mean it was only just now invented, anon.

>>12445998
But it's been a trend and a joke for awhile now. It's not the meme of 2019. Also, this is a shit thread so why am I even replying?

>>12445898
This man gets it, who fucken cooks a batch of left overs?Whats for dinner tonight?A nice fresh left over.

>>12441294
>>12441306
I wish I could eat leftovers but it's just so bad. I can only do it if I'm making something new, like a next day meatloaf sandwich.

>>12446068
>meatloaf sandwich
Based but imagine the smell of your shits.

>>12441265
I don't meal prep, but where are you buying quarter pound portions of meat so you don't end up with leftovers anyway?

Guys, but wow, I cannot even barf if I look at a Left-Over it is God's punishment upon the good
What even kind of person looks upon a 5-hour old broccoli at full mold?
Believe me, guys I am sitting in my chair laughing at how people can want this even.

Damm, I have tried so hard to Left-Over, but you know? I just I can't do it. Wow.

>>12446091
this might surprise you but if you go to the counter you can get any portion size you want!

>>12441265
I don't get it. Is that breakfast lunch and dinner for 2-3 days? Or dinner for 5? You shouldn't be eating food sitting in the fridge for more than 3 days.

Cooking chicken breast and making rice-a-roni takes 20 minutes, what the fuck is wrong with these meal prepping retards

>>12446109
Right? It's a well-known science that food deteriorates rapidly once it enters a fridge. An egg at the grocery is fine and will last for weeks, but once it gets in your fridge mold will start to happen within minutes.

Anybody with a brain knows this

>>12446129
It's clearly the meme of 2019

>>12446133
based illiterate poster

>>12446102
Word. Just know if it is my counter your getting the taint finger touch for such piddly shit.

>>12446129
How does it take you 20 fucking minutes to make chicken and rice-a-roni? If you wait any longer than 7 minutes to eat it the chicken will have bacteria. You're obviously a meal prepper false flagging trying to make me look bad. Stop it.

>>12446129
If you have an actual job 20+ minutes of personal time is a lot to give up.

>>12441265
>those 2 sad pieces of onion on each burger
For what purpose

>>12446157
You need a better job

>>12446165
>For what purpose
Instagram likes

>>12446165
>2019
>not recognizing the Quake symbol
Yikes

>>12441265
I do meal prep because I'm used to getting sloppy seconds (like my ex girlfriends). She's seeing other people now, but I'm on the market for ladies who are looking for a dependable bf to come home to! I don't judge.

>>12446102

And if for whatever reason this isnt an option, just freeze the meat you dont use and use it later for a stew/soup/chilli

>>12446157
Are you not salaried?

>>12441265
Just cook your normal dinner for 2-4 servings and freeze the leftovers.
Jesus fuck how is this so hard or controversial

>>12441265
Well you've certainly been trying to force it

>>12446243
You think exempt employees work less than non-exempt?

Meal prep is so 2018. 2019 is all about anorexia disguised as healthy "fasting".

>>12446218
Low E.Q post

>>12441265
no meal prep is a meme from like 2012

flyovers are so fucking far behind sometimes its really embarrassing

>>12446048
It's called a microwave.

>>12446157
Not really. I've been employed full time for 12 years and have plenty of free time. You just need to git gud

How does someone not know what a leftover is

>>12449111
>111
this is 4chan

>>12441265
yep, you don't prep meals, you prep ingredients that can but used multiple ways
