So I recently started meal prepping because there’s no food places near my new workplace.

On Sunday I cooked fried rice, stored it in glass containers, put tomorrow’s one in the fridge, and put the rest in the freezer.

In the morning I take the day’s container out and move one from the freezer to the fridge for tomorrow. I microwave it in the morning, keep it in a bag, then eat it in the afternoon for lunch. My workplace microwave hasn’t been cleaned in a while so I don’t use it.

After I eat it my stomach feels a little upset? Kinda feels like I’m gonna vomit but I can keep it down.

I have had some stomach issues in the past so maybe I just need to get used to it? If anyone has any advice it’d be appreciated, thanks!

(Apologies in advance if I’m just being dumb)

Edit: I was in fact being dumb, but I’m glad to hear all the advice being given! This is my first time meal prepping so it’s definitely a learning experience, so thanks!

Looking to up the portions next time

My meal preps from the last few days:
1.-Chicken thigh with a sauce made of red bell pepper, pimiento choricero paste, and a red wine and beef broth reduction; leftover chickpeas from cocido stew with tomato sauce; a fresh iceberg lettuce and tomato salad made on the spot.
2.-Chicken breast with soy sauce, honey, and lemon; served with air-fried sweet potatoes seasoned with paprika and parsley.
3.-Deconstructed burritos? Ground beef with paprika; pico de gallo; white basmati rice.

I’m gonna be flying to Switzerland in a couple weeks and I’m planning on making a sort of trailmix to pack in attempt to save on food while I’m in the country. I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for high protein, fat, potassium, carbs trailmix/ granola bars? Or even just recommendations for some packable water free, macro dense foods I can buy beforehand?

I was going to add homemade roasted red pepper, tomato, onion ,spinach salsa but will it be too wet and soak through?????

Kept burning out making 5 different meals a week. Switched to one base protein, one grain, and 2-3 veggie/sauce combos on rotation — variety without cooking five separate recipes. Down to 90 minutes instead of a 3-hour marathon, and I'm actually eating it before it goes bad. Anyone else find "boring but sustainable" beats trying to be a different meal prep influencer every week?

Hi all,

I'm somewhat new to the gym and new to trying to actually find the foods that benefit muscle growth the most. After doing a bit of research online i am more confused than when i started. A lot of fitness influencers and websites contradict eachother and i dont know which is right or wrong!

So, i thought i'd turn to you guys. How do i actually build a routine of what to eat to build muscle in the gym. I dont know where to look!

Thank you

Maybe it's just because it's summer where I am but lately I've been craving whole foods a lot and my tummy has been happiest eating things like Sargento balanced breaks instead of heavier casseroles or one-pan meals. I work in an office where we have people bring us lunch or snacks in hopes of us doing business with them on a regular basis and yesterday someone dropped off a charcuterie -- a GOOD one, not the super basic thing you get from Wal mart - and my tummy was so happy picking off that.

Would something like this be reasonably cost effective for a couple meals, in your opinion?
