Anyone cook/prepare a week's worth of meals in advance? Give tips please!

[quest-x]

I find one of the things that I have trouble with is consistancy in preparing meals every day.

So why not prepare for the entire week?

Anyone do this? Feel free to share some tips please!! Like, should I freeze this or that, carry it in this or that, these foods work best, etc etc.

Thanks, and I will rep!

freeze everything, and let it defrost the night before.

I grill a weeks worth of chicken at a time usually, so like 12-14 breasts and throw them in plastic sealable containers in the fridge. I eat like 2-3 a day, they're never good and they're always improperly cooked as I only have access to a foreman, but it is better than nothing.

I tried cooking rice and steel cut oats in bulk and it didn't work out well for either. I'm going to try cooking and freezing egg whites next, but meats can be cooked and stored relatively easily. Whenever I go home my mom always grills me up a bunch and they're way better than mine, she marinates them and uses a legit grill.

i cook a roast on sunday and weigh it out then keep it in a plastic container. this lasts untill about tuesday when i proceed to cook 10-12 chicken breasts which last me until sunday.
just cut it into perfect portions after its cut and keep it in a plastic container and it will be fine I also do this with my pasta

Is the meat safe in the fridge or should I freeze it after cooking it?

Is the meat safe in the fridge or should I freeze it after cooking it?

For most meats after you fully cook it (350 degrees for at least 15 minutes), it is safe to store in the fridge for at least a week or two. The longer it stays in the fridge however, the more rubbery the texture gets.

Sometimes I make a copious amount of my normal protien shake (Banana, blueberries, yogurt, penut butter, oats, whey protien, egg) and freeze a few extra servings worth of the stuff. It is extremely easy to reblend the frozen **** into the blender with a little added water/yogurt to get it goin.

I wrap 12 chicken breast in silver foil individually with slice of tomatoe and onion in with them. Then i bake for 1 1/2 hours on a sunday night and keep them wrapped up in the fridge.
I then boil up 2 kilos of brown rice and have it in the fridge in a plastic container.
Then all i have to do the night before work is make sandwiches , load up a bowl of chicken and rice and im good.

Lucky sod!

[Black_Spit]

I do.

I cook all red meat out on the grill and hard boil a bunch of eggs and put everything in containers for the week. I do this usually Saturday or Sunday.

[skinnyboipgh]

Sunday's my rest day, no lifting, no cardio, so I go to the store in the morning & then cook stuff the rest of the day. Oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, egg salad, chicken, salmon, maybe a turkey-sweet potato meatloaf, a crustless pumpkin pie, portion it all out in Tupperware & I'm pretty well set 4 the week.

Yeah, they're pretty old-fashioned over there. I dated a Russian girl once. She REFUSED to ever pay for her own meals or movie tickets. Even though she was wealthy beyond compare and I was making minimum wage.
