Looking for high protein options that I don’t have to microwave and no hassle if possible.

I need your advice! I need meal prep options that are -

• meatless, fish is OK (not tuna because TTC)
• avoid fava beans, chili, aubergine, white flour, dairy
• are suitable for couples trying to conceive (I read that loads of soy products aren't good, so tofu is limited to like one meal a week) m

I'm struggling here, every meal is taking up so much anxiety.

Any meal suggestions? I'd love to hear them. Bonus if they're quick and easy to prep (I'm crap in the kitchen, lol!)

Thanks!

1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp garlic paste, 1 tbsp curry paste of choice, 1 bell pepper, 1 jalapeno, 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garam masala, 3 c water or veggie broth, 15 oz can crushed tomatoes, 1.5 c dried green lentils

I used an insta pot. Sautee peppers in olive oil, add curry paste and garlic and sautee a few more mins. Then add everything else and pressure cook for 25 mins on high. Veg is just frozen. Rice is mixed with cauliflower rice.

I like to meal prep around ten meals at a time, that are the same base. Like vegetables with chicken and rice. But I'm getting bored of eating the same flavor for a week.

I'm wondering what the best method for changing the flavors is. I know it taste better when I marinate the chicken with specific spices. But then if I wanted to have a different sauce with it every day it would end up tasting weird. And I don't want to take the time to marinate and cook the different kinds separately.

Any suggestions or tips on how to change up the flavors day to day without making seperate meal preps?

So all i have ever cooked was Pizza with premade dough, convenience food and sandwich-maker sandwiches.

I want to get in the habit of cooking and meal prepping since i dont want to buy takeout at work anymore and to improve myself as a person. (I think cooking is the most important hobby to have). But i feel overwhelmed. I dont know how to get into it. I live with my family and i would therefore also have to cook for them (or i only cook dinner and meal prep for myself?) and yea.

So basically i dont know how to start. I also dont like grocery shopping since i dont know which products are good and once i tried cooking a dish, i bought something and used it one time just to be thrown in the trash after :(

How did you guys start this journey and which dishes do you recommend. How would you go about it if you were me. Thank you

Ground beef bulgogi, broccoli and rice and it is amazing!!

Hey s me and a friend is doing a small 30 day Carnivore Diet challenge, Was curious if anyone eats or done it and have any advice on being able to do it but vastly cheaper? I tried before and it became pretty expensive

I don't mind paying once, but not one of those perpetual subscription ones, please.

I mean one where: step 1, you can pick its pre selected recipes or you can add your own. Step 2. populate the meals for the days of the week with what you are having, then step 3. it generates a grocery list.

I know other people can do it without an app but I need one. I have one which is £3 per month, but I'm sure there must be a better way.

I need one where I can add my own too, as some of what I eat is 'ethnic' and is never on regular apps.

Hey, so my job is very demanding. I have reached out previously and of all the options burritos are the easiest for me to make. I need something high in protein and doesn't taste like cardboard (👀).

I work an extremely demanding job so I need it to be filling and packed with stuff.

Getting back into the prep life, wanted to share what I thought was an awesome prep.

Hey, i'm keen to give it a shot but from multiple people at my work has mentioned, its really expensive, So i was curious if anyone has competed or is doing a prep has been able to vastly cut down the cost and recommendations for it

I'm in need of some breakfast ideas/recipes that are in the neighborhood of 400 calories. I am tired of eating oatmeal everyday and every website seems to act like I have a full kitchen at work (We have a microwave, toaster oven and an air-fryer, so not bad actually).

I made a rice bowl with brown rice, tomatoes, onions, black beans, corn, jalapeños, and chicken.

I made way too much and accidentally food prepped.

Will it stay good in the freezer? If not I’m going to have to give some away.

Hi friends,

My husband is working a job where he is on the clock for 12-16 hours a day with no access to a fridge or a way to heat up food. Yes it's not ideal I know. I need some meal ideas I can prep for him that aren't just PBJ sandwiches and chips.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Huge thank you to you all! I have so much to read and consider. You are fantastic thank you!

EDIT 2.0: I'm still getting alot of good suggestions and I want to add he doesn't have access to an outlet so no travel crackpots or electric lunch bags, and he has to empty out his lunchbox to go through security so the thermos would most likely have to be emptied too if the scanners can't see through it. I don't know the logistics, he just said thermos probably wouldn't work.
