Who here preps meals for the week? I'm looking for other meal ideas. For this week I'm cycling between salmon and chicken. All the containers have brown rice, squash, brussels sprouts and onion.
It's a solid meal but I know I'll get tired of the same thing. I have some chicken left over and thin cut steaks for next week.
I just microwave some bacon in the morning, throw eggs and whey together, and eat an endive. 5 mins tops.

Do you you have recipes? I want to start meal preping cause going out everyday for lunch at work is expensive and im starting to feel it in my pocket. Also majority of the food isnt healthy. Anyone have any tips?

Rice is pretty course and fibrous. Never had issues with it. I steam the veggies but not for too long so they still have crunch but aren't impossible to chew. The only thing that gets soggy is the squash

I don't stress too much about recipes. I just find out the cooking times for each meat and season appropriately. I also am a poorfag and loon for deals at the grocery. I got a salmon filet at the grocery for 6 dollars and was able to get three good sized pieces out of it. I would look up stir fry recipes for beef and chicken.

Buy a slow cooker.
I can dump some recipes that I use if anyone's interested.
Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks when there's one hour left.
Serve w/ rice or a tortilla.

Just to be sure... This is for a slow cooker?

>Just to be sure... This is for a slow cooker? Yes I have more but that should keep you fed for a bit.
There's tons of slow cooker recipes out there and some youtube channels that focus solely on fit recipes that have some good slow cooker stuff.
Also be aware that you need a pretty big slow cooker to fit all this stuff. I have a 10 quart one but if yours is smaller you're gonna need to dial back the recipes or buy a bigger one.

is there a benefit of slow cooking? I'm pretty new to all of this stuff
Jason Barnes
It's easy. Literally set it and forget it. Can cook anywhere from 5-10 meals with a few minutes of prep time. Tastes good. Really hard to fuck up a recipe. Potentially cheaper. You can use shittier cuts of meat and they'll still taste good and be tender. Can be autistic and count macros if you want to, or you can just throw a bunch of shit in there and eat it later.
If you cook in bulk and meal prep without a slow cooker you're doing it wrong.
Bentley Miller
Alright thanks, I appreciate it!

how do you cook your brown rice

All this was very insightful for my college future. Take a (You), good sir.

I usually make two cups at a time. pre wash it in the sink, bring a pot of water to a boil (1.5 cups of water per 1 cup of rice) once it's boiling, put the rinsed rice in and lower the burner to about medium high (6) heat. I cover the pot with a clear lid so I can see how the progress is going. I eyeball for doneness. if you used the right amount of water, you shouldn't have to strain the rice once it's done. But in case it's runny, strain and serve.
Jeremiah Brooks
I prep every 4 days. Food just tastes significantly bland after that.
Joshua Wright
One of these days I will get cooking and meal prep right.
Joshua Rogers
Thank you friend.

How do you reheat it without everything getting gross?
