Meal prep is the hardest thing for me, I will usually cook several chicken breasts and have them throughout the week. The problem is when the guys at work suggest a nice double cheese burger it sounds so much better then cold chicken.

As far as food prep for the work week,I tend to grill 4-6 bone in chicken quarters and also take the no drain packaged tuna for a snack.I buy packet mayo that I keep in my desk when I feel like adding it to the tuna. Also usually have lots of veggies on hand too.

I normally do my meal prep for me lunches on the weekend which normally consists of chicken breast, jasmine rice, and some steamed vegetable pack like broccoli or something. I need to start also prepping my dinners as well due to being so tired after work I don't wanna do anything and no one in the house seems to wanna cook dinner.
Iv got hogs an can show you a good time.

if you are looking for some pretty good recipes that are pretty tasty and healthy with a lot of odd twists on using things as alternates to common high fat or carb ... Sandy's Kitchen and if you check out the Medifast recipe box, even lower carb & fat recipes.

I either work out and eat what I want or don't work out and watch what I eat.
When working out I can eat whatever I want and not worry about it.

Lots of steamed veggies, green beans, carrots, brocoli, and cauliflower IF it's with something else; Hardest part for me is cutting back on cheese, bread, and of course beer.
Deer meat and chicken is a staple, so that part is not bad.
We're doing lots of crock pot meals, soups, etc that can be either prepped over the weekend or completed and eat leftovers

On the advice of friends, my wife and I subscribed to Cooking Light magazine. Lots of decent recipes in there. Some have been good, some have been great. The big picture is that from those recipes, I've really expanded my spice cabinet & learned different ways to cook. The term "lean proteins and healthy vegetables" used to make me cringe, but using different herbs & spices, different oils, and different techniques can make fish, chicken, and venison go so many different ways that I had never tried.
I'll try to post some of the better ones in the days ahead.

I kept it in Tupperware in my cooler then I'd go in a convenience store and warm it up in their microwave. Almost all stations these days have microwaves you can use.

Buddy has a soft sided cooler that he takes with him. In it he stuffs cheese, fruits, yogurt, OJ, cold deli meats, crackers, all kinds of stuff. Carrots, lots of carrots. There's plenty of stuff.

Sriracha Honey Chicken 3 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce 1 Tablespoon honey 1 Tablespoon Melted butter 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper 2 skinless chicken breast
Says oven @450 15-20 min( I use the grill)

Pretty much stick to high protein meat dishes, chicken, beef and allot of venison. After my morning workout I have 4 raw eggs, lunch usually involves last nights meal and dinner will be beef, chicken or venison usually done in a skillet with rice, veggies or pasta. We keep it pretty simple.

How do you prepare your raw eggs? I like an egg milk shake in the blender. Add a little milk, sugar and vanilla. Good stuff.

My meal prep is pretty simple. We buy a combination of organic and conventional produce. Since we make a lot of juices and smoothies, I buy organic apples. The big reason being is because of the wax they put on the apples. We buy organic beets and corn because just about all conventional corn and beets are gmo. I also buy organic carrots because they are usually .99 a pound.
Conventional produce that I can catch on sale like bananas, blackberrys, onions, peppers, sweet potatoes, Greens, etc.
We soak in a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 10 cups of water for 10 to 20 minutes and then rinse well.
Then comes the bagging and storage. At night, I prepare everything for the following day by bagging all my juicing and smoothie ingredients, so all I have to do is dump in the blender and go.
Supper meals are all over the board. I never know what in going to fix until I start cooking.
We are doing 1 to 2 meals a day raw and then have a cooked supper with meat.
back when we used to eat housecats we marinated them in louisiana hot sauce and soy sauce then season them with lemon pepper........then onto the grill slow cooking them 3 hours........excellent folded in tortillas and pico de gallo----Newgulf

I keep it simple.......Chicken breast / lean beef / eggs / salmon for protein. For carbs not alot to choose from sweet potato / oatmeal / or brown rice/quinoa. Weekends usually blow the diet out and have a few beers with what ever I gorge on.
