Shouldn't you be washing your chicken in the kitchen sink Shaniqua?

>meal prep
what is the deal with this meme, do people actually cook their meals days in advance and just eat them cold / reheated?
sounds pretty depressing tbqh.

>refrigerated
Yeah, it's pretty bad plan when the power grid goes out in the false flag.

The DHS said to be prepared for 6 months without power. That's 6 months of food plus 180 gallons of water per person (1 gallon per day). Your food storage should be non-refrigerated. Having a generator isn't really a good backup either (solar is unreliable), because you'll likely be the only one in the neighborhood with it, you'd have to constantly refill it with gas, and it'd make you a target for burglary.

No, it's like packing your lunch for the week/month. You still cook supper fresh and enjoy the leftovers for a couple of days, but the excess is stored and frozen to take with you to work/school whatever.

not even.
>cook curry for dinner
>instead of making 1 serving, make enough for 4 people.
>eat my portion for dinner
>box up and freeze the other 3 portions.
>repeat 6 more times thru the rest of the week with different meals
>by the end of a week I have 21 portions of assorted frozen meals ready to go.
then you have the choice of either not having to cook dinner the rest of the month, or having meals ready-to-eat for lunch the rest of the month.

There's nothing wrong with the concept, but plastic waste >>14303802 is what stops me from doing it on that level.
I usually just make bigger portions of dinner and use the leftover for lunch >>14304929

Tons of that meat isn't even cooked. How is freezing 30 steaks meal prep? You still have to cook that shit.

This guy has it right.
It's a good practice, especially for those living alone!

But, yeah, the picture from OP shows someone who went off the deep end.

[Anonymous No.14306296]

Saves money buying on sale and freezing individually Saves time being organized and some items prepped. Saves space having them flat-packed and vacuum sealed.

Is this so bad?

[Anonymous No.14306419]

Pre made sandwiches is a bit grim. What's the bread like when it defrosts? What about the fillings? Surely not everything is freezable.

Sounds like you're projecting. Less time eating means more time to do other shit. Why cook 21 times a week when I can cook 2 or 3 times a week and maybe once on the weekend if I'm entertaining or want somethign special?

[Anonymous No.14307032]

It’s not all glum as you make it. Working effectively and eating healthy food with less worries of making lunch in the morning seems like the way to go if you are busy.

Becaus cooking is fun and brings joy and no matter how hard I try, I really struggle to have an appetite for leftover food that simply needs to be reheated

[Anonymous No.14307431]

>>14304929
This, cooking for one is a pain in the ass.
I pretty much did that for 1 year (not autistically either, I often cook one portion meals as well).
There's a few disadvantages though:
- need some room in the freezer
- some things just don't freeze and reheat well
- plastic waste, though you can use tupperwares instead of freezer bags
- no fresh vegetables

meal prep doesn't require pre-cooked food. packaging up the ingredients and then cooking the day of is still valid meal prep.

>buying groceries is meal prep
gee thanks

[Anonymous No.14308520]

>>14308493
Picture related, it's you. There is a big difference between buying groceries and just throwing it in your fridge and actually preparing out all the ingredients for each meal. It doesn't take a genius to realize this. The whole point of meal PREP is to save time on the PREP.

[Anonymous No.14308611]

>>14303845
I meal prep, but I don't prep every fucking meal. Like I recently cooked a red wine stew and the beef was on special if you bought a whole 4kg cut so I made like 20 servings and froze them all. I'll have it for dinner and lunch every now and then when I don't feel like cooking. "prepping" bread by vacuum sealing a slice is intensely retarded. I probably have 50 meals frozen in a chest freezer at any given time btu I only eat a day usually.

[Anonymous No.14308854]

>>14304929
I just don't get it. Do you like dried out foods?Why can’t you make a 1 meal and use the leftovers the next day? It takes literally the same amount of effort as cooking 100 meals and it will definitely be fresher.

this guy spends so much money on food. you surely don't cook every lunch and every dinner? how much do you eat out?

[Anonymous No.14310450]

>>14308854
it's no more effort to make 4 meals than 1, or 6 meals than 2 in my case.

do this a few days in a row and you'll have plenty in the freezer in rotation for evenings where you just can't be assed to cook.

i've never experienced anything drying out because i don't overcook my proteins and i don't freeze shit for too long.

Not really. They could practically make money off of this by doing this for other people's fridges. Especially for those people that have big families and little time to organize their meals/fridges for the week/month.

Does it count as mealprep if I work 1-9pm everyday so I just cook my food at 11am, put it in a container and heat it up at 6pm during my job?

It depends if this person’s habit is affecting his productivity and relationships

[Anonymous No.14310905]

The MPDF (meal prep defense force) is active in here — heads up you once-a-week meal preppers are a bunch of losers, and you’re deluding yourself thinking your Sunday curry is still delicious the sixth time you’ve microwaved a frozen portion of it that week. Cook three/four-person portions three/four times a week and pack leftovers the day after to get the best of both worlds in convenience, freshness, variety. Nobody not even you wants your week old curry/chili/pasta salad

If you can't even fathom an extrapolation like that in our current day and age you have your fucking head in the sand. Realistically if any kind of real shit went down 90% of us debt slave and apartment dwellers would be baking out in the sun eating out of dumpsters while we target the few who had the time and forethought to protect their families. I have a .22 long rifle to my name and 12k in credit and medical debt thats about fuckin it.
