Reddit makes everything a trend. Prepping a meal is what you do when you're about to cook but for some reason the phrase has become synonymous with "batch cooking". Same goes for keto (you don't need to be on a keto diet to go into ketosis), which is low carb but "keto" is more hip and marketable.

Do people not understand that there's a difference between reheating leftovers and actually prepping meals?

Dicing your own veggies and meats, tossing them in a bag and freezing them allows you to cook an entire soup, stew, stirfry, etc, just by emptying a bag into a pan. You retain all the benefits of a fresh homecooked meal, but only have to deal with the associated hassles once.

Also, OP's pic is disgusting. Not the food, the plastic WM containers that end up in the microwave.

Leftovers are cooked as a single meal, and the excess that is 'left-over' is refridgerated until either being consumed as a midnight snack or taken to work in lieu of making a separate lunch. A prepped meal is a meal which has been prepared in advance, to be cooked and eaten as a separate meal.

Bone broth is a pretty good example of this. I couldn't imagine spending 24 hours cooking bone broth every time I want to have a stew, but by making a big batch and freezing it, I get the home-cooked taste every time but only have to process bones on occasion.

Are you stupid?
The 'prep' part of Meal Prep insinuates that there is some planned preparation of your meals ahead of time, in common Meal Prep convention that means doing so at the beginning of the week. Taking leftovers is different because it wasn't made with the intention of being eaten later, its existence is incidental. And it isn't made a week in advance, its just whatever you didn't eat the night before.

I'll never call it "soy," but meal preppers are constantly insufferable people.

When you're losing weight, you're tracking your calories. If you're doing it right, you're being very precise, using a food scale because a small mistake here or there can be the difference between eating 10% under your TDEE or 10% over, especially when it comes to calorie dense ingredients like oils. When you make a pre-made bento box, you know exactly how many calories are in it. By dividing your ingredients into portions (300cal rice, 200cal meat, 300cal veggies) and mixing and matching, its easy to make diverse meals for the week in a couple hours and then not have to worry about it for the rest of the week.

But you're ITT acting like you're superior or something and idk no one is impressed by you man

Yeah, I sure am acting superior with my non microwaved food and questioning how meal prepping will make you lose weight. What an asshole I am.

Dude, if you're measuring shit this precisely for every meal to "lose weight," maybe it's time to just skip lunch, breakfast, or both? Your fat ass is going to survive the pressures of your sedentary job with a cup of black coffee and a walk for lunch, compared to fiending for the next meal.

I'm not OP, but I'm not impressed with you for eating the same precisely measured microwaved bullshit because you need to stuff your maw every three hours you're awake either.

I don't need to lose weight, nor do I meal prep. Tracking your calories works, which is why every weight loss snake oil proudly crows about NOT having to do it. It's tedious (at first) but it works.
>>12481264
Some people swear by intermittent fasting / water fasting. You still gotta eat sometime, though, so I guess that just means you prep less meals.

[Anonymous No.12481288]

>>12481264
Wrong. Intermittent fasting is a great weight loss tool. Just needs to be done in the right time frame

[Anonymous No.12481293]

fasting (intermittent or otherwise) is literally the best thing you can do for weight loss, especially if you are super fat.

They don't. Most of the people on this board are literally retarded. Not to mention some of the worst cooking I've ever seen is when they post pictures of their food. I wouldn't worry about trying to correct them, they won't learn.

[Anonymous No.12481339]

It's calories in, calories out. You will lose weight if you don't take in the calories. The only reason that it's not suggested is that the people have gotten fat have gotten so used to "munching" or being taught that it's unhealthy to skip a meal, that they overeat on the next.

OMAD or fasting does actually work. It's a matter of discipline, though. Your metabolism might suffer if you starve yourself and don't provide it ANY nutrients (like eating 600 calories a day), but if you time it properly, and learn that being a little bit hungry isn't the end of the world, you'll lose weight.

>>12481287
Counting your calories is the most important thing in weight loss. If you can't do it without 3 perfectly portioned meals measured out in plastic containers, I don't know what the fuck you're doing. You're either autistic or are a fatass.

[Anonymous No.12481595]

>>12481339
you don't NEED to meal prep to count calories, but it can be easier, cheaper, and/or faster depending on circumstance. But I said all that already so fuck off

My girl does for me. I eat alot of chicken and greens. Sometimes shes lazy and justs gets a Costco chicken. Her chicken stays moist without being slimy for some days too. Greens... are greens. Pretty simple.

I work, do school and exercise 6/7 days a week and she bartends and cares for the living area. We get my daughter on the weekends.

It's not the most glamorous meals but we know we have nutritious meals ready so we dont have to make bad choices.

Someone give me some (low carb) suggestions other than pork and fish, my girl is a picky asshat.

It does by making a meal easier to make thereby reducing the impulse to make a bad decision and order pizza etc. If there is something easy to nuke it helps.

No, but i do plan my dinner schedule a weak in advance and typically make more than just 2 portions so I can eat the left overs for lunch or rehash them into a breakfast dish over the next day or two.

beef and broccoli made with oyster sauce, diced garlic, diced ginger and soy sauce.
Agua Chiles which is just shrimp, diced cucumber, salt, sliced seranno, diced avocado and chopped red onions soaked in like juice. Or you can get rid of the Serrano, lighten the lime juice and add clamato, clam juice, clams, cilantro and green onion and make Mexican shrimp cocktail, you can add in even more seafood like scallop, baby octopus, abalone and muscles and oysters and make a campechana
I could name like a million things with chicken thighs as well but I'm better at Mexican food since I come from a Hispanic/Native household.

I can't think of anything worse than eating days-old chicken. It tastes bad enough when it's reheated from the same day

[Anonymous No.12482488]

yes, i cook on sunday and here's what i eat
>lunch
rice, peppers, mushrooms, spinach and four eggs on top.
>dessert
5 bonbons that i make out of dates and crushed almonds and cover in cacao
>afternoon snack/dinner
salmon, cream cheese, pepper and cucumber sandwich that i prepare in the mornings

the amount i make lasts me from monday to thursday. it's pretty mediocre but it's cheap and it has all the nutrients i need i think

Fuck no and I used to work 7 days/week for 8 to 12 hours per day with no access to a fridge. I usually had those protein nature valley bars for breakfast, pbj for lunch or another granola bar, and cook a real meal for dinner when I got home from work.

I just don't understand this way of thinking. You can use one pan to saute green beans, asparagus, or something else that you barely need to prep and cut then use the same pan to cook a chicken breast, chicken thigh, pork chop, steak, etc. that you take straight from the packaging to the pan. If you're extra lazy then you can eat it off a disposable plate with disposable utensils.

Personally I subscribe to Instacart and have someone bring me whatever I want when I want it unlimitedly. But before I did that I would make a trip to the grocery store once a week as raw meat, produce, and whatever else as they will keep in the fridge just fine. Then I would think about what I had in the fridge, what I could make out if it, then make it.
