I want to get this chicken but obviously i’m not going to eat it all in one sitting. How do i store this? Should i just take out the amount i want then freeze the rest? i know i can refrigerate it if i cook all and then portion it out but i dont plan on having it every single day. what should i do?

Any tips for meal prepping fish or seafood for work lunches?

4 Upvotes

I meal prep five lunches for the workweek, and my doctor has recommended cutting back on red meat and eating more chicken and fish.

Chicken is easy enough, but I'd like to have fish or seafood a couple of days a week for some variety. My main concern is the smell. I don't want to bring something to the office that smells strongly of fish and bothers my coworkers.

I'm happy to eat it cold, so I wouldn't need to microwave it at work. Are there any types of fish or seafood that work particularly well for meal prep and don't have much of a smell? Any recipes or cooking tips would be appreciated!

meal prep advice for a 19 yr old

I'm starting off very simple. My goal is for the next month, prep and make my own breakfast everyday (or atleast on the weekdays). I live with my mom who cooks dinner and we don't have much storage for me to meal prep breakfast lunch and dinner, plus im very ADHD so I doubt id be able to do all that by myself at the moment anyway. I decided that since im not very good at cooking and i struggle alot with feeding myself and cleaning up after myself this could be like me doing a free trial to living on my own.

Cooking my own meal everyday and not wasting money on fast food anymore is my main goal. Rn I'm starting off extremely simple, breakfast sandwich with bagels, eggs and probably spinach because i desperately need more fiber lol. We also keep potatos pretty regularly at the house so ill use those for hashbrowns on the days i have time to or feel like it.

How does this sound though? I went over the meal prep beginner post thats pinned in the sub and i think this is pretty solid, does this feel like its missing something?

And most importantly if you have any breakfast food suggestions id love to hear them. My budget is 15 dollars for each grocery run. I get a small 6 pack of eggs that are about 88¢ to 1$, bagels are about 3-4$ and spinach is 2-3$. That leaves me about 5-7ish$ dollars left to spend. I'm trying to stay away from deli meats and heavy meats like sausage and bacon because they aren't really the best for you and im also dealing with stomach issues so light, easy to digest foods are best for my breakfast.

I love how a simple homemade meal can feel filling, colourful and satisfying. You don’t always need an expensive takeaway to enjoy a nice dinner!
