Quinoa and pickled onions. It's just two ingredients and it's good.
Make chicken sandwiches, get bread with good macros, chicken, lettuce tomato, salt/pepper, mayo or ranch or no dressing if you're autistic about calories. Anything
I do that sometimes, usually with some cajun seasoning and cheese with good macros.
I buy a Costco rotisserie chicken every week. It's great for eating alone or shredding it and using as sandwich meat or as protein in a stew.
One of my old roommates who was a competitive cycler did that. He'd buy them from the local grocery then devour them in a single sitting.
tips for making chicken last longer than 3 days in the fridge
Plug in the fridge
teriyaki chicken thighs, rice, cabbage is my new favorite meal
bbq chicken breast, microwaved sweet potato
taco seasoning on chicken breast, green peppers, and onions for a fajita
even raw chicken lasts much longer than 3 days in a fridge. what makes you think it's going bad? get a thermometer and make sure your fridge is below 40 degrees F.
Im trying to figure out why some people freeze their meals when it completely ruins the texture of everything when you reheat it in the microwave.
I am a free thinker who does not toss out leftovers after 2 days.

it's just a necessary evil of the time savings/laziness of mass meal prep
Then heat in oven
Eating moldy leftovers doesn't make you a " free thinker." It just makes you lazy with low standards.
Vacuum sealing comes to mind
Chicken is fine for at least 5
gonna try this, thanks for the tip. Always been tempted by those chickens. I'll see how long I can make it last and how creative I can get with it.
broccoli rice chicken
12 eggs, raw
>chilli with a few different types of beans in
>chole
>lamb korai
>pork stir fry
Just dial the recipes in to match your needs, all can be kept in the fridge for a few days or frozen and don’t suffer for it
Sounds like some good recs, I'll have to try them out
I'm lazy and cheap but this works for me
>lean ground beef, porkchops, or chicken
>rice
>sauce of my choosing, usually teriyaki
>sometimes scramble an egg and add it to the slop
I really need to start adding more veggies
Breakfast is
>kodiac oats with milk
>tukery bacon
>eggs
Snacks include oikos yogurt, cottage cheese.
I love those kodiak oats. Their pancakes are pretty good too.
u can get thin sliced beef, or maybe ask your butcher. do some bulgogi beef or broccoli with beef. whatever.
I do meatloaf sometimes too. super easy to throw everything in a bowl and have it for leftovers through the week.
often i do what you do and roast some a chicken breast with olive oil and have a side of mac'n'cheese. the chicken is bland enough, so i cant do rice with it.
If your chicken is bland you need to learn how to cook.
I've grown tired of regular chicken rice and broccoli so I make fried rice instead.
Looks good broheim
Got tired of fried rice so I went with chicken rice and broccoli kek
Steak/Chicken:
nachos
quesadillas
rice
pasta
Beef:
burgers
pasta
Sliced turkey:
sandwiches
wraps
salads
That's my usual rotation. I usually get one or two proteins for the month and cycle between those meals. Lost 50lbs in a year, down from 310lbs.
This is my current dinners. All i did to prep is cook 4 days worth of chicken, 2 days worth of rice snd broccoli ill boil up fresh each night. Sceptical of how long rice will last in fridge so cook it every second night. Works well for me
How do you usually do the chicken? Do you freeze the rice or just keep it since it's just 2 days worth? Do you mind telling me the portions you use?
Chicken tenders, seasoned with some generic all purpose seasoning cooked in pan. Usually about 500g of chicken cooked at once, 125g a serve.. Rice keeps fine in bowl in fridge covered with some aluminium foil. Only cook half a cup at a time, so 1/4 per serve. Its a pretty small meal, but it does the job. Boil up a whole head of broccoli, sometimes some carrots too if i have them. I microwave the rice to reheat, and air fry the tenders to warm them up while the veg is cooking. I guess it doesnt really sound like meal prep but it works for me.
I used to not be a picky eater, as in I would eat pizza left uncovered over a weekend with no issue. Then one day I got food poisoning, like hospital time food poisoning. I learned my lesson and I'm really cautious with leftovers and potentially spoiled food. I might miss out on a spare meal or two, but going through food poisoning hell was not worth it.
I've learned to make just the right amount with at most a couple of days of leftovers and that's it, and it really depends on the food. Also I take no chances, if there's even the slightest hint of turning, I throw it out.
>chuck some meat in the slow cooker
>add some frozen vegetables
>fill it with water
>chuck it on and forget about it
how do I improve on this?
try using some different sauces. For fun I once used a bottle of salad dressing for flavor and it stunk up the house for a few days.
Usually some flavor of BBQ sauce will suffice for some extra kick, but you can also get fancy with herbs and seasoning and all that jazz.
nothing wrong with the chicken rice template, you get to travel the world with it if you want with east asian, central asian, south asian, middle eastern, mexican, african versions, etc. but have you ever yearned to go to such exotic places as Ohio, Quebec, Wisconsin, or Saskatchewan? I present to you, the white north american popular standard: Meat and potatoes! In the summer you can have skewers or steak with potato salad, and in the winter it's stew and mash! You can even go regional in the fall with the northeastern beloved classic: boiled dinner! It's like a southern seafood boil without the seafood, spices, or the taste!
