    Go to Costco, in the back by the TP and cling wrap they have meal containers, 32 count, for $10 bucks. Can't beat it!

    These are the best!!!

    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/

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    How long do prepped meals last in fridge? Im always a bit concerned if food sits in my fridge for more than 3 days.

    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.

    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.
