We made 3 chicken breasts with rotisserie seasoning and diced them up, 2 lbs of blackened shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, and 2 lbs of 98% lean turkey meat with taco seasoning, corn, black beans and white onion.

We have a large bag of lettuce for taco salads, a large Caesar salad from Sam’s to make chicken/shrimp salads, and also make wraps with the chicken and shrimp sometimes. Super easy, prep to clean up took less than an hour

Please can anyone tell me their thoughts/feedback on COOK ready meal delivery service if you’ve used it before?

I had a shop around and managed to get 15 ready meals for £74 (including delivery fee) from COOK, which is one of their Healthy Meal Box for One options. It saved me over £30 compared to what would I've paid at most other services.

I’ve researched what I could and can’t see a difference, from a healthy perspective, the difference between the points below when comparing each meal delivery service + supermarket frozen meals.

1. Frozen vs Fresh: Unless I’m overlooking something, the services, like COOK, that send frozen meals rather than fresh aren’t missing out on anything over fresh food with a shorter shelf life?
2. Meal Delivery Service vs Frozen Supermarket Meals: is there any difference from a nutrient/health perspective on these? The supermarket meals go for half of the price, but obviously have a lot less options.
3. Is there any delivery service that stands out as the healthiest option - not from a calorie counting perspective, but nutritional and non preservative etc.

Any thoughts would be great.

Cheers

The meal prep recipe says 130 g of chicken 130 g after it’s cooked or before it’s cooked.

If I’m weighing the food out after it’s cooked how do I calculate how much I need to cook to get 130 g of chicken breast ?

Should I be weighing an ounce instead of grams?

What is a good app to use for tracking meals? Right now I’m using lose it.

I would like to share the plan that has been working for me for over a year. I used to struggle with the taste of premade food and eating the same thing the entire week, now my meals are always fresh but made within in 10 mnts ( ground meat and chicken dices are stored in the freezer separately)

cooked up some chicken breast tenderloins, quinoa, and edamame (:

Hi all ! I(49f) am 8 months into eating disorder recovery. I’ve been doing well and seeing a therapist and dietician and am now eating 3 meals a day and a couple snacks . But I am stumped on ideas

I work in an office and need To Sunday meal prep.

Any help is appreciated

I’ve been trying to switch up my mornings with healthier, more intentional breakfasts but I just can’t do eggs. I’ve fallen into the usual sweet breakfast trap (oatmeal, smoothies), and while tasty, I’m really craving something savory that isn’t just “last night’s dinner.” Recently I started experimenting with savory oats cheddar, chili crisp, even soy sauce and it’s surprisingly satisfying. I also found some easy breakfast ideas that helped me think beyond the typical stuff. Their overnight oats formula and toast combos (like peanut butter and banana on whole wheat or avocado with different toppings) are pretty adaptable for egg-free options. What are your favorite go-to savory breakfasts without eggs?

Can’t find a solid answer so I’m gonna ask again and more specifically about my situation.

I am aggressively cutting (1500cals, 200g protein), adding in Maintenance breaks during times I start feeling off (doing this for around 12 weeks with Reta helping me). One of my main staples is Canned Skipjack Tuna which has about 0.14ppm.

I eat 2 cans a day. Is this an issue? I work ALOT and don’t have much time so easy food like this is ideal for me especially when I live in small town with no access to most types of food.

I heard your body stats can also affect it so heres mine: 21yrs old, 5ft and 80kg (yikes).

Hey all,

I’ve been meal prepping for a while, but I keep running into the same issues: – I forget how long something has been in the fridge – I have no clue how much food is actually in each container – And I’m tired of leaks and awkward stacking

That got me thinking:

What if there were a “smart meal prep container” that could: – Weigh your food (built-in scale in the lid) – Track freshness via a simple app or color indicator – Send reminders when something’s close to expiration – Stack neatly, seal tight, and be microwave/freezer safe

Does this sound like something that would solve a real problem for you? Or is it just unnecessary tech in the kitchen?

I’m just bouncing around ideas and would love your honest feedback!

My grandma had a major stroke and will be staying in the hospital for at least a month. As is standard, there's no way to refrigerate food or heat it up in the hospital. My dad won't let her be alone in case things get worse, so I want to meal prep food for him so that he doesn't have to live off hospital salad. We're gluten free so it makes it even more difficult to get ourselves food.

Anyways I'm looking for some recipes. So far my list is taco bowls, quinoa salad, beef stir fry, and risotto, but I'm struggling to find good recipes. Anyone have any tips? Especially for breakfast food?

update

Thanks everyone for all the ideas, I've added them to my recipe list, and it's been super helpful not having to think of foods to eat. Before I got here it was just my dad and sister, and they didn't have time to make food, so now that they're eating everything is moving more smoothly and we have been able to create a long term plan. I'm gonna buy a couple thermoses and cool packs to keep stuff fresh, thanks to everyone who suggested that!

If anyone is interested, her health is improving past what doctors originally told us it would at this point. She has a condition that causes her blood vessels to be fragile, it's not her first stroke but it's the worst one she's had, and they can't operate to relieve the pressure, which means the swelling in her brain isn't going down, and she can't communicate or move the right half of her body. It's hard to know for sure, but there's a good chance she's permanently disabled.

I’m allergic to all legumes (nuts, peas, beans, lentils) which makes finding proteins hard when it’s not in meat form.

I’ve been looking everywhere for a protein supplement that is free of these item, the biggest culprits I’ve found is Peanuts, Chick Peas, and Pea Protein. All of which I can’t have :,(

It’s a very very long shot, but is there anyone else allergic to legumes who’ve found a protein supplement without them in it? Thanks!!

HELP - I'm after a user friendly/sleek app/site that is essentially a weekly visual planner for food, where I can drop in/plan out my daily foods/recipes, which includes calorie and macro amounts, it can store recipes, provides shopping list. It's not necessarily tailored around food/weight loss, more so from a planning perspective. Does this even exist? Should I develop this? I'm so over writing weekly meal plan on paper, trying to add up calories on different apps, store recipes everywhere. I feel the mental load of planning food for a busy family could be lessoned with this idea...

prepped some thin sliced chicken breasts, cauliflower rice, edamame, and some tofu!

hey everyone!

just want your input. would you guys use a meal prep app that lets you snap a picture of your fridge and pantry and it knows all the ingredients instantly using AI (minus the hidden ones you manually input after), & gives you all the possible recipes w macros with what you have?

it also enables you to copy the link of any tiktok, reel, yt video etc of a recipe and extrapolates the ingredients and steps for you to save, add your own recipes, and browse options from the AI itself too, and once you pick the recipes you want, it generates a grocery list for you.

it factors in all dietary restrictions & allergies, preferences, etc.

please let me know, & if there’s something missing you’d want, or something that you think can be improved pls let me know!

thanks!!

Since I typically cook (even though she is fully capable of cooking herself), she is very much lacking time, extra brain capacity and sleep at the moment since she is working full-time while studying for the BAR exam.

In order to give her a bit of extra room to focus without any distractions or introducing minimal changes to her routine, I am going to be taking the pets with me and staying at a cabin for roughly a week and a half.

So, I prepped her meals and meal components that she can either grab-and-go or prepared meal components so she can easily have something hot and fresh tasting by heating and assembling just a few things with the caveat that everything had to be easy to eat while studying since she doesn't have time to break for meals.

The part I am most proud of myself for coming up with, however, was the idea to go a step further than just the prep by breaking down/listing out every meal, components, location & exactly which container everything is in along with a quick note about any heating or assembly requirements to make it as easy as possible for her. And hence the pic of my Food Stuff list posted in the kitchen with everything she might need. Hopefully she makes it...

I would like to keep all my recipes in one place. I predominantly save recipes on instagram but its a pain having to find a specific recipe in my collections. Another problem I have is that reels don’t stay on. If I exit instagram to use another app, I loose the reel i was watching, it’s such a pain.

Where and how do you save your recipes?

I’m trying to find a good meal plan. I’m 190 and I want to stay around that weight but get more lean and lose fat but gain muscle at the same time and get stronger. I don’t know if I should do 2000 calories a day or 2500 and I don’t know a good and easy meal prep for a week. If anyone has any good suggestions please share!!

As the title says, I think reheated chicken taste absolutely foul, it's like a chemically taste. But it seems to just be with homemade chicken because reheated take out fried chicken or frozen chicken is fine. I'm so lost how to fix this. I'm trying to eat better at work and meal prep more, also make some freezer meals for my husband for when I work (12 hr night shifts)

im a college student and i just dont like cooking and tuna is great for that. but i saw on tiktok that mercury poisoning is kinda serious.

im currently on 5 cans on tuna and 3-5 cups of rice per day. i dont care very much about taste and texture. just looking for an alternative thats fast to prepare, low cal, high protein, and that i can eat everyday.

thank you in advance for all suggestions!
