    Another trick I heard about is eat pretty much the same thing everyday.

    This. Have a repertoire of 6 or so selections for each meal of the day, prep them for the week, then just eat that. If you were to ask most successful weight loss people they will say they mostly ate the same stuff all the time.

    Also when I dogsit and have to take my own food, I'll make a casserole or something to serve 6+ people and eat off of it for days. That should work for just 2 people too.

    I suggest he learn. You're supposed to be a team.

    This. No girls get back in the kitchen!

    Looks like it's you and your hand for life with that stank attitude.

    Alright everyone, let's not bicker!

    Thanks for the brand name-- are they available at a store like Container Store? Or should I buy them online?

    I also like the ideas about ziplock bags, never considered that before. I just realized the gallon size ones would be great for storing prepared meals in the freezer, flat! The tupperware gets clunky in there with all the space it takes up.

    Maybe an idea? You can buy Rubbermaid or Walmart's brand Mainstays food containers. These are plastic with lids and they freeze and microwaveable. You can get plenty of uses out the these.

    I am 48, a wife, mother and grandmother. I work full time, go to school full time (working on my MBA), find time to work out and run a household. I plan out my meals for the week on Friday evening and make a shopping list, then my husband and I go shopping together on Saturday. I cut the vegetables and trim meat on Sunday so that meals come together easier during the week. I prefer using zip lock bags in the fridge and Foodsaver bags for the freezer. They are flatter and take less space.

    My husband doesn't like to eat the same thing more than once, so I need to cook more than one thing.
