You came to the wrong fucking board, meal prep is for faggots. Just make and eat your goddamned food, or go to /fit/ for health shit.

All I see is them talking about eating protein powder.

My main advise would be to stop using tupperware, but I don't know what else to use instead of it. There's no way you're gonna carryyour food wrapped in plantain leaves like tamales from South America
I don't like doing big batches of food and saving them for days, even less if I have to reheat them at a microwave. You should try doing sandwiches: quick to make and you could try different types of meat through the days, like smoked turkey or roast beef.

As far as having a wide variety of meals throughout the week, I've been reliant on freezing freezer-friendly meal leftovers for later (Whether that be in a day or in a week or in a month). By building up a "stockpile" of frozen foods, you can get some options for those nights where you can't be assed to cook.

Consider taking up stews and curries. There are a wide variety of slow simmered recipes out there that you can put all sorts of meats and veggies into. Freeze your leftover stew/curry for later, they typically keep well. I've made one-off chilis with leftover chicken or stew beef to great results.

I've found that smoked BBQ foods (i.e. pulled pork, brisket, etc) keep almost perfectly in the freezer (ofc it's not as good as the day you smoked it, but it's pretty close) and are easy to stockpile because of how large the cuts are. You can use the meat to make BBQ sandwiches or omelets or even rice bowls with beans.

I usually think sous vide is a retarded meme, but I've found to be very useful for cooking meats from frozen. Does a good job on frozen chicken breasts that I've pre-seasoned before freezing. Frozen steaks too. Some sous vides have a delayed-start so you can set everything up before you go to work and have your steak ready the moment you get home.

As far as using ingredient leftovers, I enjoy stir fries quite a bit too. Similar to how you cook veggies and protein for fried rice, just without the rice. You can be creative with using sauces and spices.

You can also make tacos and burrito filling too. You toss most leftover ingredients into a pan or griddle (chicken, beef, onions, etc.) and quickly saute them in mexican spices and get easy filling that you can warm up and eat at work with tortillas.

Protein can keep longer in the fridge than carbs which keep longer than fresh vegetables in a container
The most time efficient meal prep is chicken breast made with a pressure cooker (cook it in stock, with more added salt and seasoning than you think you need), rice and vegetables.
Portion out the chicken/rice in advance and add fresh vegetables in the morning. I suppose you could rotate meats too if you wanted to, and you could use bread/potatoes as a carb source.

Steel or glass containers (with glas or plastic lid if you dont eat from that lid)

Beef rice curry. Spaghetti. Sweet potatoes with chicken or steak. Fish with brown rice and broccoli.

I cook enough food for dinner that I always have leftovers to eat for lunch the next day or two.
Means I only ever have to cook at dinner time.
Breakfast AND lunch is for faggots, 2 meal per day master race.

>meal prepping? Also it should not be like pic related
Pick one. You can add more variety but that's the point of meal prep; to PLAN YOUR MEAL.
