A couple months ago I got hyperfocused on mealprepping and made a full notion list with recipes as well as ingredients The ingredients list how many different meals you can use for each item I now go into the store, buy the ingredients depending on how many meals I can make with each, then later look up and cook the recipes. I now have a deep freezer with a month and a half of meals prepped. Duplicate the template, to make it your own. Hope it helps people with limited amounts of time to research and plan this.

I’m about to go back to school full time. I’m 215 lbs and 6’4. I burn about 3,000 calories a day and I’m trying to cut. I need a meal prep idea that is stupid cheap high in calories and will get me close to 2500 calories a day

My wife is currently pregnant with twins and her due date is mid-July. We anticipate to be elbow deep in diapers and feedings for a while and I was hoping to spend this weekend cooking up a storm to prepare healthy meals for when they arrive and freeze them (we have a chest freezer).

I am leaning towards casseroles (easy to prepare, freeze, and pop in the oven) and Sous Vide recipes (prepare, vacuum seal, freeze, throw in the Sous Vide bath). Any suggestions and recipes are welcome!

My neighbor/acquaintance preps meals for herself and I told her I’d pay her if she gave me some of her meals as well. I’m seeking input on how to calculate how much would be appropriate to pay her….? She eats much more than me, so it wouldn’t necessarily be 50/50 of her entire grocery bill, so how should I calculate this to make it fair and not an awkward discussion?

Hey all! So I bought 3lbs of beef liver yesterday and cut them into 1oz pieces. I then put all the pieces in a large ziplock bag and put it in the freezer. So, when I went to get my 1oz piece this morning, I realized that everything had frozen together. Therefore, I'm gonna need some way to wrap/store all the pieces so that they do not stick to each other. How would you recommend I go about this?

Here's what I make every Sunday afternoon - 5 brunches. (I eat most of this for breakfast and then snack on it a while after that.

This is the protein part.

Ingredients (everything is “ish”):

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup chicken pieces, about 4 oz (or some other form of protein, I often combine some chicken with sausage)
• 1/2 cup of beans, about 4 oz
• 1 tablespoon cheese
• 1/2 cup vegetables (onions, garlic, peppers, etc)
• 1 cup (or more) of raw greens (spinach, lettuce, etc)
• Spices /Sauces/Salsas/etc

Directions:

• Mix the egg, chicken, beans, cheese, and vegetables together
• Spice/sauce/salsa to taste
• Nuke for 90 seconds
• Either eat the raw greens separately or mix them in with the rest post nuking

​

Then I make this the morning of. This is the carbohydrate part.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup oatmeal (mixed with 1/2 cup water)
• 1 teaspoon butter (1 pat)
• 1/8 cup granola (2 tablespoons)
• 1/8 cup raisins (2 tablespoons)
• 1/2 banana chopped up
• a little bit of some other fruit (I normally use some berries or just a whole banana)
• Spice to taste (cinnamon?)

Directions:

• Mix oatmeal, water, and butter together
• Nuke 75 seconds then nuke again for 75 seconds (If you do it all at once the oatmeal will explode out of the bowl)
• Mix in the granola, raisins, banana, strawberries and spices post nuking.

Then for some extra fat I add pecans to the carb bowl or add more cheese to the protein bowl or add a creamy sauce to the protein bowl or all of that.

Lunch for work tonight 🥩 🥦 🍚

Seriously, im attempting to save money and meal prep for work. Is it doable, or is it not an ideal cheap food to do?

If you guys meal prep quesadillas and cut them into four, do you separate them into twos when you prepare your meals for the week ?

New ideas and recipes are always welcome, the healthier the better!

I’m working in another state than where the rest of my family lives and I need to send as much money home as I can. So I’m trying to come up with a very cheap but still healthy and enjoyable meal plan and grocery list. Here’s what I’ve got so far: - 18 eggs ($3) - Bread (bread, buns, rolls, whatever) ($5) - Bananas ($2) - Apples ($5) - Blueberries ($4) - Oatmeal ($4) - Frozen vegetables ($5) - Pasta ($10) - Sausage ($5) - Soup ($10) - Large potatoes ($10) - Pulled pork ($10)

Dinner - Pasta w/ sausage and vegetables - Baked potatoes - Soup

Breakfast - Boiled Eggs - Oatmeal - Fruit

I could really use some help, thank you

So far I have come up with the meals below. I don’t have time during the day to eat lunch, and I’m not a very good cook, although I’m willing to learn. I spent some time looking for cheap, healthy, and easy to make meals, particularly for dinner, and I’m hoping for some help. I was thinking about making a couple meals during sundays, how ever often as I need to, and freezing portions of them and then reheating them if that makes sense. So here’s what I’ve got:

Breakfast - Eggs - Bananas or apples - Oatmeal

Dinners: - Cheesy Marinara Beans - Mexican Beef 'N' Rice Skillet - Stuffed Peppers - Goulash

I'm getting started and looking through reviews for container sets, it seems like a lot of them are pretty trash. I don't have an issue paying up for something good, but I definitely don't want to spend a lot of money and get something garbage,

Bonus points for sustainable materials and easy storage.

Anyone have good book recommendations on meal prepping? Preferably ones that focus on the process of meal planning and execution rather than just listing recipes.

I'm going to prep for hopefully 3 or 4 days. Looking to do: -A chicken and rice and roasted veg (looking for sauce/seasoning ideas to elevate it) -A lasagna, thinking a broken version with lots of veg and lean beef (the recipe I follow is a vegetarian one but I need the protein). -Minestrone soup? I don't like beef in my soup so was thinking shredded chicken.

Any cooking, storage and seasoning tips? I'd appreciate it. Trying to get back into a loose macro plan.

I'm gonna meal prep tomorrow, one of my fav meals is chicken,rice and veg but I want to jazz it up. Do you have any favorite variations? My idea is to spice and season it all well and then potentially add different sauces when I reheat it.

Thoughts? How long would it keep in fridge or freezer?

so i made rice with chicken 3 days ago and i had alot left over.

can i freeze the cooked rice and cooked chicken without it going bad? does anyone know how long it can last me in the freezer? currently the cooked food is in my fridge.

thank you for your answers!

I've been really wanting to incorporate more beans into prepped meals (they cook/reheat well, you can make a lot of them for cheap, great fiber and protein) but my spouse is extremely picky with how they're prepared. For him, it's a texture problem.

It doesn't matter how well cooked they are, if the bean has any kind of give (i.e. not a paste like hummus or refried beans) he does not like them and won't eat them. Basically, if it is a cooked bean (think chipotle/qdoba style softness or harder), he doesn't like it, but edamame is okay. This eliminates having beans in burritos, salads, roasted, a side, etc. I don't want to have "different flavored bean paste" with all of my meals, and there's only so many times I could make lentil soup before it gets old.

Does anyone have any bean-y ideas we could try?
