Hi /fit/ do you food prep?

I want to start lifting / dieting properly, I'm in a good place in life and I'm motivated as fuck to make it. The problem in the past, especially with the food, was that I lacked a routine I could realistically follow.

I love making food, but the reality of the situation is that often after I come home from a long day - hungry as fuck - I really don't feel like taking out all the pans, knives, bits and bobs necessary so I just eat some quick mostly unhealthy garbage.

Food prepping is the obivous solution here, having 1 or 2 days a week where I make food so it's ready when I need it, so here I am looking for advice. What are some good meals to prep? do you mostly microwave when reheating? do you eat some of it cold? what is a realistic amount of food to prep? does it actually help?

I guess it would be useful to you to know what kind of diet I intend to follow, but I haven't made up my mind yet, so I suppose I can take some advice on that aswell. Or I can read the fucking sticky again for the 7th time.

1.91cm - 6'3
75kg - 165lbs
Probably 17-20% bodyfat, most people say I'm skinny, but I got a bit of belly fat I can grab on to.

My plan was to stay at my current weight eating 2200 calories or so, see what my noobie gains get me and then go from there.
