Why’s this man talking like I’m watching adult blues clues

How to get everyone to hate you at the office - microwave fish

FYI: if you store washed lettuce in a paper bag wrapped in a plastic bag, it will stay fresh and crisp for over a week.

Production value on these vids is through the roof. You can tell they took a lot of time to make this look like a big budget show. Props to them.

Hold on. That packet drawer has given me new perspective on life. 🤯

Wash your rice. World of difference.

If I could afford a subscription service, I wouldn't be watching Struggle Meals.

As a teacher going back to work, this is gold. Thanks Frankie!

I love this guy and his energy. I’ve been watching him on snap for a while now.

I'm always triggered by people who don't rinse their rice first😂 goray de kam

This is exactly what I need. I spend buttloads of money on $12 salads at work. Edit: Wait what happened to the Tuesday through Friday?

My only complaint is similar to the meal prep for the week video, you didn't finish the week. I would have loved to see the ideas you had for lunch Tuesday through Friday since you suggested you could do it different ways. Or at least did a chicken meal as well for people to have a better idea how to do both meats.

I cook a little extra for dinner so my husband can bring leftovers for lunch most days of the week. Does not affect the price of dinner very much, making lunch cost very little in the whole monthly food budget. I package up the leftovers immediately after dinner.

In New Zealand the chicken and salmon from the first meal alone would cost close to $30. Food prices here have skyrocketed over the past 5 years.

I save all my condiments, my sisters tease me about it. Who’s laughing now! 🤓😊 I love your channel! You’re awesome 👏

This channel is the only reason I learned how to cook anything other than ramen and chef boyardee ravioli lmaoo

I love this series, this is mostly the reason as to why I follow Tastemade 💫💫💫 More fun shows like this!!!!

This was so fun to watch, plus all the tips! Thank you for this hassle-free prep video, just the layout of the food makes me wanna go prep!

Please create a playlist of this series and put in on your home page. It's a struggle to find all the videos .

I can’t believe your channel hasn’t blown up yet! Good job on your videos! Very concise and to the point!

This man has so much chaotic energy I can’t handle it

I really appreciate this video. Thanks for making an inspiring meal prep video that isn’t dull and repetitive like most I’ve seen! subscribing!

Yo what about that other unfinished series about prepping for the week? What happened to consistency on this channel?

why do i hate how energetic he is? i think im too british for this ...

My strategy to save on lunches was to stop eating lunch. I save so much!

I don't like meal prep like this. It's too much of a hassle in the morning. You spend maybe 5-10 mins putting together and packing your lunch, then another solid 10 mins to clean up afterwards. That's time I can't afford tbh. I'll cook a bunch of food on Sunday and prepare full meals that freeze well. Take them out the night before, pack some fresh vegetables, the next morning is just grab a container and go to work.

I love how you put the cents or dollars for everything!!

Here comes Frankie, back at it again with great recipes!

I was literally thinking how my work lunches have to get better and now I'm gonna go through all your videos!

I love this guy! He makes me wanna cook and just live in general 🤗

Just discovered your channel and l just had to subscribe. I love to cook and enjoy your videos. Cheers from the French Alpes

That’s the neatest most organized condiment drawer I’ve ever seen.

Literally the best cooking show. It's real.

3 chicken thighs and 2 salmon fillets.. I haven’t even seen the rest of the ingredients but this alone is more than 20 bucks.

Okay immediately you have 3 chicken thighs and salmon which is definitely like AT LEAST $12-$15. Did you actually keep track of $20 at all...??

Ohhhh noooo! I never found the completion of the last thing you told us we would see at a later date! 7 day meal prep for the family only went to Wednesday. I was loving it and poof, it was done.

Love your energy and your style Frankie! Been hoping you get a new season on Taste made....following here tho! I think your AWESOME 😎 Sending props from Cali

I felt that in my soul when he wasn't willing to make two trips. Yas.

I just picked up some takeout and the server included 18 packets of salt,pepper and ketchup 😍😍

This would be great with more options for cold lunches for those of us who don't work someplace with a break room and microwave!

Yup..its cheaper to eat at home, now that they gotta pay $15.00 hr. The foods prices went up..almist $9.00 for double big Mac at McDonald's..Frankies struggle meals are good & affordable!

I love your struggle meals!! You’re awesome!!

I finally figured it out, I love this show because I love Hey Arnold! Frankie gives off those vibes.

Your videos are amazing. Well done!

I love how easy you make it look! Inspiring! One thing, tho, never put tomatoes in the refrigerator. They get tough and lose their sweetness.

Love your videos and food. I love chef John, but I need HEALTHY and tasty food. I can’t wait to try your recipes

amazing tips👏👏 looks so fresh!

😂 I love that spice drawer! Looks delish!😋

I love the tip about paper towel in the bag tip

I just tried this recipe and it turned out sooooo good! 😋

I love this dude so much! Save you lots of money 💰

Love your videos so glad to be back here thanks 😊

This stuff is great, wish I had this when I was struggling. Probably still try to cook this and save that money while eating good.

Dad has returned 😩🙌🏼

this is really cool and i'm really glad these videos exist

I need that recipe!! Love ya Frankie! Love your recipes!

frankies energy is 💯

how about exploring other kinds of fish as a source of protein? salmon is really expensive versus tilapia

I prep my salad in 3 gallon container.. Put tomatoes & cukes are in separate bowls for keep from sogging out things, add at time of salad eating

Maybe it’s where I live but the chicken and salmon alone would cost me $20? Maybe if I bought it frozen but the chicken is never that big when I buy frozen

Good video idea! I will try, it’s just so hard 😂😫

Hi, I’m loving your meal prep ideas like here. Essentially, you’ve pre-prepped Ingredients to make “poke bowls”. Re: the rice once you’ve combined it with other stuff; I assume you’ll refrigerate this lunch container at work. Isn’t the rice dry and hard since the meal is eaten cold or do you warm this up in the microwave and for how long? Whenever I warm up Leftover rice from chinese takeout, usu. it’s still grainy and dry. What’s your tip to moisten up that type of rice?

Loving that free packet drawer

you speak like im a toddler and thats exactly why i love your videos

The packet draw is starting to feel a little bit cheating. It has honey and chilli now? It just needs garlic and paprika and its like a magic spice vortex ;-)

That packet drawer blew my mind

Thai salmon bow,l, salmon wrap, jar of noodles, chopped salad and buritto bowl

$20 for 5 workday lunches averages $4 per meal. That is not cheap. If breakfast was $2 per meal and lunch and dineer $4 dollars each, he would be spending $10 a day on food and $300 dollars per month. That is way more than the average SNAP recipient gets per month.

Hey Frank-love this episode! Where’s part 3? Looks like a chickpea/rice bowl & a chef salad??

Haha, packet drawer! At least it's organized and he uses it.

Yes!!! More struggle meals

Curious, in order to stock up this packet drawer, how often do you have to eat out in order to get all this stuff, or do you just go to places that have sauces and stuff in portion packs and help yourself to them without buying anything? If you are eating out this much, perhaps you need to cook at home more and just buy your condiments in full sized jars and bottles....

5:20 was like Gus with those corn kernels in Cinderella 😂

I don't think a good idea to keep a lot of rice in the fridge because white rice would get yellowish and smell get bad in 2-3 days.I basically keep white rice in freezer and defrost by microwave. It keeps rice fresh when you eat.

“This is why I always keep a spoon in my pocket 😂😂😂

Definitely need this advice now. Groceries are expensive

Okay! So I can finally use ALL the little boxes that came in the Rubbermaid set from Walmart. 😊

How is the cooked meat going to be fresh at the end of the week?

No salt or oil in the rice?

I don't understand why these don't have more views, this guy is great! keep up the awesome content!

Frankie. You are a riot! Food may get boring. But NOT YOU!

this was great! does the meat stay good that long? i thought meats were only good for 3-4 days?

I just found this guy by watching him in my Samsung TV service so I had to look him up here... I love his energy and cooking tips, tricks, and techniques. A note for anyone wanting to avoid the excess carbs in this meal... the carrots are minimal and pack a bunch of health benefits so keep them. The rice, on the other hand, is high carb. If you are a diabetic or are eating a low carb diet (such as Atkins or KETO) you can substitute riced cauliflower for the real rice... BUT if you plan on reheating this dish with the cauliflower sub... you need to NOT cook your cauliflower all the way (or at all) because it will turn to mush... raw riced cauliflower (simple to prep just cut your cauliflower into chunks and then shred like he did the carrot) cooks pretty quickly in the microwave. PRO TIP: If you don’t want to become the office pariah DON’T HEAT FISH AT WORK ... notice I said don’t heat... not don’t eat. You don’t want to reheat fish in a microwave anyway because it ends up overcooked and rubbery. Instead keep a larger glass (real glass) or supersized coffee cup (both of which are available at your nearest dollar store) and heat water for 1.5-2 mins in it in the microwave. Then empty water into a different container (for hot tea, instant soup, instant coffee etc) or simply dump it. Place fish into cup and cover with a plate (if using a paper plate or the lid to your lunch container invert to better trap heat) while you heat the rest of your meal. By the time you are ready to eat, your fish should be nicely warmed with little to no odor to torture your fellow workplace family. If you store your lunch in a fridge, remove it about an hour before you plan to eat to make heating easier all around. Remember, this could also be eaten cold as a “salad” by adding more oil or water to the dressing to thin it out a bit and/or heating just the sauce.

Have you ever made your rice in chicken broth instead of just water? Its yummy!

Thank you for this wonderful video!

Keep up the good stuff!

Saw a commercial for him while waiting for Transformers Beast Wars movie. Pizza rolls DIY? Yes please 😂❤

Love your channel Frankie. I wanna ask where is the video with the rest of the meals?

I personally can't eat ready meals that have been in the fridge for five days. 2 days yep. thas why i prefer two meal prep days a week if the food isn't gonna be frozen

Great video… but where is the rest of the week? I can’t find any additional videos? Thanks!

you've just saved my life!

I Love this guy 🙌

i love this show so kuch

i loveee this guyyy

So, he must go to restaurants a LOT! to have that many packets in his drawer.

When he said ZERO TO HERO I laughed so hard

Did you cool the rice, chicken and salmon before you put them in the fridge? Looks deliicous.

I love this

I was in desperate need of this

Love this show
