I want this to become a series. ❤

I feel like the taste test should be after a few days in the fridge and the meal’s been reheated. It’s definitely going to be appetizing when it’s freshly made. Might be a good topic: “how to reheat food so it doesn’t suck” 😂. I’d be interested in that, fwiw

This would take me at least a full day to accomplish!! Because it would include getting groceries, and figuring out work-arounds for not having any equipment besides pots and pans. However, you inspire me to try it. 😊

Thanks! The moisture advice seems like a game changer. Although we must all always had felt for and loved moist in our food, still I could never make a concrete sense of why I prefer certain meals. Wow, appreciate your aid in the realization.

A series on 1 hour weekly healthy meal prep is the actual hero 2023 needs

If anyone plans on doing this, for the sandwiches I would prep the eggs and sausage ahead of time and make the actual sandwich on the day of. That way the bread won't get too soggy. For the Green goddess salad, I would store your salad dressing in a little container to the side so the lettuce stays crisp.

I came here for the ideas and I am grateful for the salad dressings and sauces as well as the turkey egg sandwich. Though I don’t meal prep I found these ideas useful to add to my repertoire. Thanks Josh.

Wow, I'm impressed by your commitment to getting shredded with meal prep! It's not always easy to find healthy meals that taste good and are budget-friendly, but it looks like you've got it down. Your one-hour meal prep for the week is a game-changer, and I'm sure your body will thank you for it. Thanks for sharing your tips and recipes for cheap and healthy meals, and for inspiring us all to take charge of our health and wellness. Keep up the amazing work!

Ooooooooh, perfect opportunity to do a "But Healthier" series Josh. New year chance for us all to take some learnings and make delicious yet healthy food for 2023!

PLEASE DO THIS EVERY WEEK SO WE CAN FOLLOW ALONG!!!

In pretty sure this would take me 8 hours

Thank you for this fantastic video on preparing cheap and healthy meals for the week in just one hour! It's incredibly helpful for those looking to eat healthily on a budget and with limited time. Your tips and recipes are a great inspiration for maintaining a balanced diet. Keep up the great work!

Would love it if Josh tackles not just this method of meal prep but the component style of meal prep - the kind where you make a few veggies, a few proteins, and can mix and match to make different style bowls or wraps. This video definitely is the most interesting meal prep video for the "multiple containers" method (if I have to see another taco salad I swear-) but for those of us who can't stand eating the same meal seven times in a row (or even more than once!) I'd love to see variety!

Was waiting for this a long time

Gimley and Legolas as always is a brilliant duo either they sharing their meal prep secrets or destroying orc hordes. Thank you guys for saving the middle earth and this video

​I have done meal prep before, and my lesson is to avoid leafy greens, because they won't stay fresh in fridge, especially if you dress the salad in advance it wilts super fast, like immediately. Also, you can't heat lettuce in microwave. Better veggie options for meal prep are broccoli or green beans. :)

Might be a silly question, but if you do more stuff like this, could you also include some info on how you reheat prepped meals without drying/ruining them? I really can't stomach cold meals, especially in winter, and I always wonder how people reheat these dishes (especially sandwiches). Thank you! And good luck on your fitness journey! :)

Love this! Im not interested in eating food that sits for days but for quick, healthy and tasty meals, these cant be beat! ♥

LOVED The turkey patties, the peppers, and for sure the salad dressing!

Josh, for the love of whatever you find holly, please make more meal prep content like this one. I always found my self working 3 hours in a kitchen doing this, and I'm feeling incredibly stupid for never thinking on using a Sous Vide to make my life easy. Also I'm awaiting on you next book, I'm almost done making all the recipes in the first one

I really want to see an actual hour-long video where you do this in real time, no cuts, no voiceover. I feel like for the average person, this would be several hours. I want to see how fast you're really going to judge how long it will really take me. And, was chopping/prep included in that hour? Because planning, shopping, and prep need to be factored in!

the delivery of this video was spot on. this is by far one of the best videos ive come across. Im glad I found your channel. Great job!

PLEASE do more meal prep stuff like this. I made everything you did here and it's outstanding!!

Loooove this! As someone who is constantly trying to make my favorite meals healthier, I'd love to see a "but healthier" series 🙏 if anyone can make food delicious and healthy, it's Josh.

This is my favorite video of yours to date. This is so helpful and insightful, not to mention the editing makes it hysterical to watch lol. Great job! Would love more content around this. Not to pressure you in any way, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on meal prep for those that are trying to reduce waste and plastic usage overall. I've been trying to balance being good to my body while trying to be kind to the planet. And it's hard to walk that tight rope when I'm not used to it.

Please make a series of this!! Each week and we all can follow the journey together 🙏❤️

You should definitely do a re-heat guide/taste test. I know by Thursday whatever meal had rice included would not be edible unless you heat it up a certain way.

I watch your stuff through discovering you from TMG and also my obsession with cooking shows etc. but this content also appeals to my fitness and nutrition obsession so I would LOVE more meal planning content like this

2:15 Yes, because everyone that is one a budget have a sous vide setup just hanging around

I really hope josh does a series on this . I would watch and make all of them.

i do mealprep since 8 years and let me tell you - this is impossible to do in 1hour for a beginner. AND don't forget the whole mess which you need to clean up in between! I Love this video since it gives excellent inspiration - but you should include some realistic advice like: - start with two simple different meals from which one needs no cooking at all and a simple not prepped breakfast. - those two meals are not calculated in any way - it's just food you like and meant to get you into it, start easy. You can calcualte everything through next time you do it - cook 6-10meals and DO NOT eat anything else or let anybody else eat it :D - always take taste as a priority. ALWAYS. You won't keep on doing it if it's "just healhy" Advice for later on: - keep a small book in which you note down your calculated meals so you wont need to do it over and over... - rice cooker is nice - but if you don't have one look up how to properly cook rice (tastes better and is easier) - in tough times (examphase, stress on workplace...) prioritise on "soul-food" but calculated meals - you wont get fat no worries and this is way better than just throwing the "too healthy" ones away and go for fastfood. - always plan where you'r going to eat the meals, some places have no microwaves so better prep something you enjoy to eat cold, too. :) - don't believe that those hollywood-bodybuilders gain all the mass through food&dedication. Yes - they put hard work into workout&food, but most of them are "big" due to drugs. You will not get as big as them. Advice for later later on: - keep a list in which you note down how much of something you need to be satisfied. For exmaple thats 70g rice or 95g Spaghetti or 100g chicken for me. It's way easier to calculate your meals through if you know a few numbers already. - prep some "smal meals" and some "bigger meals" for workout days. This way you wont starve on workout days (which ultimately leads to you eating stuff you didn't wanted to). - leave a small amount of calories for a chocolate bar or something similar - you'll love it I hope you enjoy mealprep as much as i do, it's easy and convenient. :)

Do this easy meal prep anyone can do. All you need is : fancy water cooking thingy. A rice cooker and a vacuum pack thingy.

I would have liked to see how you would be storing these and heating them up still expecting them to be nice after even a few days in the fridge. Videos like these helps me with making meals for 12 hour shifts but also still having a good healthy meal at home before or after. A series on this would be great!

As a man struggling through his own weight loss journey, thank you Joshua.

The reason is why its simple is because some of us dont have a sauté machine or a machine that sucks the air out of a bag and we also sometimes dont have a functional blender

This would take me at least a full day to accomplish!! Because it would include getting groceries, and figuring out work-arounds for not having any equipment besides pots and pans. However, you inspire me to try it.

For a budget friendly option, instead of tossing the salad all at once on prep day, you can get those small plastic ramekins at your grocery store for like $2 for 30 or so. Nothing worse than a limp salad and still budget friendly to store your dressing. Just equal portion your dressing you've made over the amount of days you were going to have the salad and your macros should remain consisten.

For those of us without a sous vide setup, my tried-and-true method for baking and storing chicken breast so it stays juicy all week: -preheat oven to 450 -give chicken breasts a light brush with oil -COMPLETELY coat in a spice rub of your choice. 100% coverage! -TIP: paprika can help extend a potent spice blend to get that coverage -cooking times vary by chicken weight & your oven, use a thermometer. but generally we're talking 15-20min -flip halfway through -cover immediately after removing from the oven, for 10-15min If you're eating right away, slice across the grain and serve. Otherwise, transfer the whole breasts to a ziploc freezer bag, and toss in the fridge once they've cooled.

a fairly easy meal prep i recommend for those going into meal prep for the first time especially for people newer to working out, is stuffed bell peppers, fairly cheap keeps well, decent carbs with the rice and bell peppers are good sources of potassium so helps prevent cramping.

From now on i love your recipe, thank you for tutorials

I am not nearly as organized in the kitchen to get this done in an hour, but this definitely seems doable for a Saturday afternoon! Looking forward to seeing more of these!

This is extremely helpful, would love to do this once I leave college. However, I think a good idea would be to make a version of this for those with a minimal kitchen setup, by minimal I mean barebones. In my case all I have is an air fryer and an Instant pot 😅.

This is AWESOME and I’m so ready for part 2! Also substituted the chicken and pork for pan fried tofu. Would love to see how you use tofu in a future meal prep video!

There is no way you did this in an hour.

Oooh, just what I needed. Please make this a series for the year.

Looks good Josh - the only thing I would not do is dress the salad so early in the week. By the 5th day, I really don't like the texture. But everything else can be ready so it takes 30 seconds to complete a meal. Sounds good to me. Looking forwards to more healthy prep as my health meals are boring.

so so helpful! Thank you for this!

Love this! Im not interested in eating food that sits for days but for quick, healthy and tasty meals, these cant be beat!

This would make an awesome series, my only concern is that for something like this I would include a grocery list. Cheaper alternatives for certain ingredients, or alternatives for people who don't have kitchen gadgets like a sous vide would also be nice

$400 per month for one person is insanely high!!! My husband and I eat very well on only $300/month for a family of 4. It’s only cheap compared to going out to eat every day. “Cheap” is a relative term based on your income and how driven you are to make sacrifices and to be creative. We’ve never been able to afford salmon. I loved the video. Looks delicious and well made.

💪🍴🌿 Wow, I'm impressed by your commitment to getting shredded with meal prep! It's not always easy to find healthy meals that taste good and are budget-friendly, but it looks like you've got it down.

Thanks for sharing your tips and recipes for cheap and healthy meals, and for inspiring us all to take charge of our health and wellness. Keep up the amazing work! 👍

I think this would be a great series to add, especially if you are trying to get shredded. It would be a good way to stay motivated and to keep you on track of eating well! So if youre looking for another series to create, for sure add this

Take us with you on this journey! A Josh and Nour series sounds fun.

I love how he does the *whispers* I’ve never seen a cooking channel so fun to watch ! ❤ new subscriber ! 😊

Appreciate the effort put into this video, thank you!

YES! We LOVE your "But Healthier" series! My husband and I are inspired, have typed everything up, and we are joining you on your journey. Thank you!

Absolutely love this. More please! To note: I made this yesterday, skipped the skewers and just did the breaky. But with prep/cooking and clean up it took me a good 3 hours to get this all done. Everything is delicious though! Now that I’ve done it once, maybe I’ll be faster next time… but there are a LOT of dishes and appliances needed for this.

Some fabulous tips! Thanks for sharing 😊

Really love the thought behind this.

I made the breakfast meal and it's so freaking good. I did a deconstructed meal prep where I keep the different parts of the meal in separate containers for max freshness and build it the morning of. The turkey sausage is the best part. I did sub rice for the bread for certain days and did fried eggs on other for variety.

Can we just appreciate the rice heart at 3:02 ? I can’t tell for sure if it’s intentional, but at this moment, Josh had become a master of youtube and he just makes food videos at another level

This is extremely helpful. My dad is trying to lose weight and the only food. I really know how to cook is fat food so learning from you and watching you make healthy meal preps is really helpful thank you.😊

I’ve made these breakfast sandos all WEEK and my WORD!! I really hope this becomes a series because I can’t believe ground turkey tastes this good.

as a broke college student i really appreciate this type of content. i’ve been enjoying learning how to cook too! also personally, i don’t really like to meal prep full meals because i find they just aren’t as good by the end of the week. i also share a fridge so there’s not much room for all of that lol. but i like to prep things like veggies and rice ahead of time if i can.

That food looks amazing. It's out of my price bracket for now, but 1 day that'll change and I'll be back to follow these recipes. 🤠 Thank you for sharing.

I really appreciate this and relate hardcore. Due to health issues combined with moving from my hometown and having social anxiety, by the time I was 12 I was 280 Ibs. It was rough and cyclical. The more I ate, the more I felt social anxious which made me eat more. But I put my mind to it and lost weight. I was 175lbs at 16. I know that guides like these would have really helped me and I’m sure it’s helped others in similar situations. Sir Papa, you are a saint! 💋

I have high hopes on this becoming a serie!! I will humbly give you my tip for meal prepping, i bake (until i get lots of dark spots) most of my veggies, so, if i will prepare rice for example, the base will be baked onions and peppers instead of fried, and trust me is waaaaay more tasty!! Same with the "one pot" sort of meals, most of my veggies would be baked before hand, including the garlic.. thats good stuff 🤤 Oh!! And i replace mayo with spiced yogurt, i swear its soooo goooood!!!! Whenever i would use mayo i use yogurt with different spices and that makes a great replacement and every time it can be different.. hope you like them and we get to see more of this videos! 🐽

This came just in time actually. Last year I made it my resolution to lose a good amount of weight which accumulated to 40 lbs (not much but made me proud) so this year I'm going motivated to go for WAY more!!

Thank you for sharing!

I was going to pass this up for some different content, but your videos are so fun! I laugh AND learn something new every time.

This is the most legitament video i seen on cooking on a budget from you because this includes ALL of the ingredients used and not in serving sizes. Please, do more of this. This is a great series :) and content.

Awesome job Josh for prioritizing your health and helping others on the way 🔥

Managed to do this in 1.5 hours without the sous vide, and for about $100, even a year after the video. Everything adds up to just about the perfect macros! This was the first time I have ever meal prepped, and it was a lot of work but if everything is still edible by the end of the week then worth it.

Some more of these quick meal prep ideas would be awesome

the sous vide is actually... pure genius. wow. the NOW IS IT BRUV?! caught me off guard 😂😂 but here's the big question: how do you keep all this food fresh/not spoiling before the end of the week? and how do you reheat it in a way to not ruin it?

Yeah!!! I've been wanting to see Josh's take on HEALTHY meals.

Josh can you do an update on how this went? And any current meal prep tips or favorite recipes you have gained in these few months?

Wow, your videos are so good it's difficult to stop watching them 😅

I love the quick summary best the end that breaks down the time, calories and dollars per meal/week. That's the info people care about!

Josh, You got me started on Sourdough, and I subscribed. Saw this one today and love it, but have 2 comments. 1) brown rice in the rice cooker comes out light and fluffy for me! And no glucose spikes! Also, most excellent tip I've ever received in my life: either put your eggs in a steamer, or do them in the pressure cooker, and you'll have the most delightful peel ever! The shells fall off the egg without all that annoying picking at it. :-) Oh, I'll throw in another one of my favorite kitchen hacks that has nothing to do with this vides, but just because it's so awesome: keep a huge knob of ginger in your freezer--it lasts forever. And whenever a recipe calls for a few slices or chopped or whatever kind of ginger, just use a microplaner and shave a little pile of the frozen ginger. Takes 8 seconds. Life is good. 🙂

Loved this meal prep video!

I love this thanks for sharing

Yesss we need more meal prep vids!!! I’ve been needing things like this to help me with my meal prep

OMGGG!! Thank you so so much for making this video!! I wanna get back into healthy eating but I freaking love food and want eat still bomb food but knowing I’m treating my body well. So thank you for this

Omg thank you I am allergic to avocados, but I have been wanting to try green goddess dressing!!

This is my first time watching you on KZfaq and I’m so glad I watched this video! I need to start doing some meal prep but you’re so right that it’s usually soooooo boring and hard to enjoy. This was great inspiration for that, great recipes, great ideas, and thanks for being realistic about time, price, and flavor.

I just made these! Breakfast sandwich is SOO good and filling. I LOVE that these videos helped me focus on a few dishes (instead of too many which I tend to do) made extra tasty and healthy. I messed up the eggs since I put 10 straight from fridge to pot. They were barely softboiled. Was able to save them with a light cook in a pan, but will try again with fewer eggs next time.

From now on i like your recipe, thank you for tutorials

Very beautifully presented and inspiring

i would love to see this done as a full hour show! I don't think I could do all of this in an hour without using a food processor/other appliences

Thank you for this Josh. Cooking healthier meals to hit a macro/caloric goal can be some of the most fun I have in the kitchen as it forces me to get creative, but it's easy to run out of ideas and hit a rut. Would love more ideas in the future and good luck hitting your goals!

Thank you Joshua I cant be leave someone on youtube does actually know about food. I laugh at so many youtubers and there take on what they think is good. You nailed it big time, if people had this in there diet they would be so much healthier. Thank you

Holy Hannah! First time viewer, and was super impressed with the detailed information and the format of your videos. You are hilarious!

If you see this Joshua, get some thai style wild rice blend (its usually a mix of jasmine, long grain red rice, short grain black rice. It cooks super easy (10 mins pressure cook from cold with 1.8x water by volume.) it changed my whole mealprep game coz i have an extra variety of starch :)

Hey Josh, really like this new format, hope you do it a few times! It convinced me to get a thermocirculator shenanigans. I love doing your advanced recipe that take hours to do (especially the breads) but these will be great for week nights. Keep it up man!

perfect video, only 11 minutes, tons of affordable meal ideals. best of yt right here broh!

Love it man! I’m the head chef at home and I needed a way to spend less time in the kitchen and spend more time with my fam and on the things I need to get done. Good luck on your journey! 6 months 💪💪

Make this a series, this is amazing, this could legit be another cook book for you

Great ideas will include them in my diet.

THEY LOOK GREAT I AM TRYING THEM THIS WEEK HOPE THEY COME OUT LIKE YOURS
