Me too. Is it all the same everyday or do you do something different each day? If it's the same, do you ever get tired of the repetitiveness?

I have been trying to talk 2 of my family members into a meal prep trade. We each make a meal that makes 6 servings and trade. That way we each get 2 servings of 3 different meals. They haven't agreed yet.
I did see someone use foil to divide a sheet pan into three segments so they could make three different flavors of the same protein at once. You can get variety that way. fitmencook.com/time-saving-chicken-meal-prep/ fitmencook.com/protein-in-bulk/
Saw this in my news feed this morning. Great way to prep snacks. forkly.com/recipes/one-pan-roasted-chickpeas-4-ways/0 -
Threads like this are like p0rn for me! I'll try to do better taking pictures of my prep, too. Not quite sure I have the game as some of y'all, but I can hold my own.3

HoldTheDoor13, those meals are definitely inspiring. They look awesome! I didn't see a recipe for the first photo with the beans. What's in them?
I'm making chipotle chicken tomorrow I think I will make extra and make a prep for the weekend. I will post.0 -
I love this idea! I've been doing it for a few months now. Makes life so much easier. I don't have to think about dinner when I get home from work or worry about having enough time to fix something to take to work for lunch in the mornings!
I got my containers from Groupon. Not quite as good a deal as what are available at Costco.
@spikedmax - do you have a picture of the containers from Costco?

I normally have a decent rotation going. Over the course of a fortnight I'll normally do two breakfast options- so for example I'll have breakfast burritos and home made muffins. I'll do burritos for 3-4 days, and then muffins for a couple days and swap back.
I normally make two lunch dishes and two dinner dishes every 3-4 days and they will also be rotated. So while I might eat the same dish 3-4 times it normally isn't consecutive and you never really eat the same thing every day.
Fortnightly I do a whole new menu, I might bring a couple of old favourites back now and again but I like to keep it fresh5 -

I save the containers from Chinese take out, they look like these. They are great for leftovers, and microwavable. Great portion size for a serving of chicken breast and veggies, or whatever.

I prep Mason jar lunches and breakfasts but I haven't really done dinners. I would like to though. Since there is just me, I've had a bit of trouble though.
As far as food lasting, my salads are still crisp on Friday.1 -

the government standards are if you oppen a can it's 7 days. if you make it from scratch it's 4 days. the first day being the day iot's made so it's today plus 3. cheese is longer
i get worried about bottled dressing.1 -

i make those at work all the time. really good and easy. they work well in muffin top pans as well. just whirls the filling in a food processor for a sec to make it finer.0 -
