I'm still going to say 'meh'. Agree with the general wisdom of "abs being made in the kitchen". But I'd get bored awfully quickly eating the same thing day after day after day.
It's not for everyone, but if you have strong fitness goals, I find all my clients don't mind eating the same thing for a few days. You can always use different seasonings and condiments to change the flavors as well, but again-- meal prepping isn't for everyone.
I have strong fitness goals
But once I've hit my protein and fat macro I like a helluva lot more variety and fresh vegetables0 -

Sorry you must be lying. According to OP that's not possible.0 -
To each their own. I definitely admire the dedication and can see how this would be a smart plan for someone without the wherewithal to create a variety of meals daily. I would go insane though.0
-
I would lose my mind by eating the exact same thing every day. These are the types of things I eat, but I gotta have variety.0

Me too. And there's kind of way too much bread and too many eggs there for me! I guess the actual meals probably aren't meant to be indicative of how we should eat though-- just the planning. (Not that we all need this kind of plan...)ceoverturf wrote: »Ummmm...OK?

You mean, the turtle is part of the food. Turtle soup, yo. Probably the most interesting food item on that table. lol
Look, I get the whole meal prep and everything, I do. But that looks suuuuuuuper boring. Where's the color? Where's the variety? Variety is the spice of life! Everything in that picture, except the green beans is white/brown. That's boring. I want my food to be a plethora of colors and flavors.0 -
Pre-made sandwiches?
Can anyone say soggyyyyyyy?0 -

I never said it wasn't possible. You do what works for you. Everyone's different. This is just what works for this particular client and his preferences.

Ohhh..ok...so then it's NOT the key to success for everyone?
I'm confused now.0 -
I think that I could easily eat the same thing each day for a week. Then the next week I'd change it some. Every time I feed my dogs I wish there was some sort of human kibble that I could just eat a cup of twice a day so that I could just scoop it out and go sometimes.0
-
The turtle was the best bit. Food is one of the pleasures of life I cant imagine wanting to regiment it out of existence. If he was a bit more adventurous then he could cook something a bit more exciting and still meet his goals. Wont the bread go a bit meh or does he freeze them?0
-
I believe sandwiches can be frozen but I'd have to say bleurgh to that
My meal prep involves big stews like chicken cacciatore
Served with rice
40g protein, 8g fat for around 415 calories
Wouldn't swap you, even if you threw in the turtle0 -
But seriously, OP, what's up with the turtle?0

The turtle is the client with the mad abs. The dude holding him is the mascot.0 -
I had to come back and check this thread. Unfortunaltly I knew there would be some strong opinions! Thanks for the effort, I meal prep on Sundays, cook a bunch of chicken and chop veggies/ fruits. Makes the week go smoother. If anyone cares I plan dinners for the week and if there's a bunch of prepping to do for a meal I'll do it then too, that way I get dinner on the table faster after work and school
