Hey /fit/ I need some advice with meal prep.
Iv seen a lot of people posting fridges full of Tupperware pre-made meals like pic related and I had a few questions.
How many of these meals do you prepare at one time?
Don't they go bad quickly after you cook them?
Do you eat them cold or warm them up?
How do you warm them up?

>How many of these meals do you prepare at one time?
Monday through Friday lunch
Sometimes a few dinners too, who knows
>Don't they go bad quickly after you cook them?
If you leave them on the counter like in your pic, then yes.
>Do you eat them cold or warm them up?
cold. Leftovers are meant to be cold
>How do you warm them up?
My stomach acid
bump. does it not just all go off?

Ok so it actually stays fresh for a whole week if you refrig. I was worried I would have a fridge full of rotting food come Friday.
Thanks anon
They also have these new things called "freezers" which can keep food fresh for longer periods of time.
And then there's also these things called "microwaves" which can be used to heat them back up again.
Meal general?
Meal general!
Anybody have a favorite marinade or anything for their chicken?
I've been eating tikka masala for far too long and I need something new.

Dinner -hot (pic related is my red curry)
Lunch - cold (job restraints)usually a salad that looks nothing like a salad Due to size/macro needs
Protein bar/protein bread- obviously doesn't matter,easily sandwiched with peanut butter. Super easy to make 70+ servings and lasts forever if frozen
5 servings/days for lunch +dinner . The extra two days almost always eating with a friend or something
Obviously hellacious Oats before bedtime but I found some five minute steelcut so it's been way easier than normal to do that

It depends on the ingredients, how long you can store in the fridge. Some spoil faster some slower.
Cream sauce for example shouldn't sit around too long.
Seafoods too.

Which makes 4
Add another 1/2 lb of chicken and 1/2 cup of rice to get to 5, not really a hard recipe and you can mix it up however you want without it tasting like a dumpster fire
Two or three days at most. I enjoy cooking and most of my shit is quick.

>favorite marinade
cook the chicken in sunflower oil (just use a little its strong stuff) then add soy sauce and garlic powder. Better then most Chinese restaurants.

You could literally make one year worth of food put it in freezer and it would be okay to eat after a year tho. It's incredible how long things stay edible in freezer.

Fats go ransid even if frozen. I wouldent keep anyhthing for more then half a year.

Some foods are dependent on aging. Like kimchi, or thousand year old eggs. I like to make kimchi and cabbage sallads that dont spoil by adding onions, garlic, chilli, lime etc. My current kimchi is two months old.
Does any one else make/eat beans a lot? I usually heat up a bag of Black or Northern beans and have some with lunch or dinner during the week, it's an extra 25-30 grams of protein and actually tastes pretty good with garlic.
