Between work and gym I’m struggling to stay consistent I meal prep on Sundays but run out by Wednesday Any simple meal prep tricks or foods that hold up better through the week

I usually cook twice a week Sunday and Wednesday night That way the food stays fresh and I never run out midweek

Overnight oats rice bowls and chicken with veggies hold up great for 4–5 days Just keep everything in airtight containers

I use a slow cooker for chicken or beef makes a big batch and stays good for a few days Saves a ton of time

I prep my carbs for the whole week rice potatoes but cook protein fresh every 2–3 days Keeps it from tasting old

Try freezing half your meals I do that sometimes when I know the week will be crazy Just reheat and go

Tuna packets Greek yogurt and protein shakes are my go to when I don’t have time for full meals

If you’ve got access to a microwave at work bring your meals in separate containers Makes it easy to stay consistent without relying on takeout

I plan simple meals I actually enjoy eating That way I don’t skip them even when I’m busy
