The other problem with meal prep is that even if you cook something different for each day of the week the food looses it's freshness and tastes less good. Some ingredients simply don't last more than 2 days.
@loryndabenson5840 3 жыл бұрын
That's true. I've put some of my preprpared meals in the freezer. This does help when you're on on a super strict diet (like fasting or body building competitions) don't have time to cook multiple times a week but wanna stay on track. The downside again woukd be not having access to a steamer or oven to reheat so that it taste good and textures are still nice. You'll have to opt for the microwave if you're on the go but atleast the food won't go bad before you can eat it if you put some of your meals in the freezer.

@specsa.1426 3 жыл бұрын
I agree. It also helps to just prep ingredients if you don’t have a huge variety. Then, you can cook any meal you want to with pre-prepped ingredients. Still saves a lot of time and money, and you can keep your variety. I use the same veggies and meats to make omelets, fajitas, and salads, and I could make more if I needed more variety. Meal prep is NOT “making the same meal to eat for 4-6 days in a row” unless you WANT it to be.

Also, for me I can't get through that much food in the few days before it goes bad so I need focus on eating the few things I bought, which means I can't have a wide variety of perishable foods on hand unless I want to end up throwing it all out.

Personally when I meal prepped I made 3 portions of two different meals and take Saturday off to eat what I REALLY wanted for dinner. So Sunday I'd prep & eat fresh, Eat meal A for 1/2 the days and meal B for the other ones! I ate the same thing for lunch & breakfast every day tho. I found it a lot more accessible than cooking 7 sperate dishes. I'd also mix & match by using beans as my grain/starch with one portion of meal A and rice a next portion for a bit of variety plus different sauces. Meal prepping as a highschool student was wild lol

Actually, the first version works for me for the very important reason that I put it in the freezer, not the fridge. I have enough containers to have 10 dinners and 6 decently sized lunches in storage at the same time. I decide in the morning what I want to eat, or if I want a meal-prep meal at all that day. It makes me cook more, and means I meal prep 1-2 times a month and cook the rest of the food on the days I want to. But always having food readily available, knowing I don't have to eat it today, tomorrow, or this week if I don't want to, has been super helpful. I haven't had take-out in three years because of this ...By myself ofc, I do eat take-out with friends :)

Additional tip I learned from my MIL: the cauliflower leaves make for a nice flash pickled side dish, if they are still fresh. Wash well, strip away any severely fibrous bits, and cut into thin slices. Sprinkle with salt and set aside. After 10 minutes, give a taste. Pour out the liquid that was drawn out by the salt, rinse if too salty. Then add sesame oil, a little rice or apple vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Stir around for a delicious and crunchy side ❤️

Eat one, put one in the fridge and two in the freezer! Then if I go through a week where I’m super motivated to cook I keep cooking multiple things each day and have a variety of meals in the freezer, so when I have a less motivated week or have less time to cook I have loads of different meals “prepped” in the freezer already, and I just have to cook the rice or pasta or whatever to go with them! 😊

Preach! My personal problem with meal prep is that it does not correspond with what I actually wanna eat - my tastes change every single day and although I might create many different meals, I simply do not feel like eating it a day after. So I might cook one day based on what I'm craving, but tomorrow I don't want it anymore.

Food distribution was not as advanced as today and did not allow for the same variety. Food distribution is also most advanced here in the US. Eating the same thing repeatedly does increase the risk of nutritional deficiencies. Risks elevate when the repeated dishes have limited variety of meats and vegetables combined with a heavy starch component (rice).

I loved being able to mix and match and have variety, and will be doing this in the future. Just amazing! Also, I found I didn't quite go through the cooked food fast enough, so I froze it, and thawed it out in a pot with some broth, blended it up and had soup!! So many options!! 🙂

I understand why this doesn't appeal to everyone but it works, can be delicious, and can be very helpful.

Or instead of having a mother sauce for the week, have various types of sauces prepped and refrigerated/frozen to go on a few base meals for the week. Maybe you've decided that this week is broccoli week so you put gochujang on your broccoli/carrot/tempeh/rice bowl on Monday, while reaching for your lemon tahini on Tuesday and your thai peanut on Wednesday. Even perishable sauces that need to be frozen are helpful, as sauces freeze well while also not taking up much space. You might need to invest in teeny tiny containers to freeze your single portions on sauce (if you don't like using plastic bags for them), but it's so helpful.

Vegan meat/cheese alternatives have way more fat than the real thing oftentimes and nuts (nut butters!), too. So it makes total sense, for me at least, to skip or reduce cooking oils. But I get that it makes recipes worse sometimes.

@@Shirumoon Yes, I sort of got disenchanted seeing a video where a woman said "if you want nonstick but you don't use oil, just use water in the pan!", And being raised Italian where we use tons of olive oil in everything, to sautee and roast etc, I almost got whiplash from my double take. Also yes, some recipes really just need oils. And from the vegans I've seen who skip out on oil for cooking, they totally avoid the fatty cheese replacements and stuff. It's like an irrational fear of fat, assumably some of them grew up when everyone was afraid of fat.

@@kaateeh that's understandable, I just sometimes see the person looks sickly, and they don't use any oil and they live on fruits and carbs. I think some people skip things like oil out of fear of being unhealthy but they also skip a lot of other things to a point where they're not properly nourished. And for me I prefer the recipe to have oil, so it's a personal opinion that I appreciate when chefs use oil in their cooking. But there's much conversation to be had about vegans who don't consume enough vitamins through their diet. That's not any new information :p
@Wwetitanfan27 3 жыл бұрын
No1 should be shaming but I like the channels that provide the options for both oil and oil-free, catering to as many people as possible. I have been using less oil, not because fat is bad but because health-wise, I'd prefer to get the fat from whole food sources like nuts, seeds, coconut, avocado, etc than oil. But of course, nothing wrong with some oil here and there especially if your diet is not too fatty already. and if oil is what it takes for people to enjoy healthier options than they'd otherwise be having, then it's surely worth it.

I'm so confused about the idea that meal-prep apparently is seen as eating the same meal every day? I kind of meal prep, which means that when I cook I cook 4 or 6 portions instead of 1 or 2 (for just me, or me and my partner), let everything cool off, chuck it in a container in 1 or 2 portion-sizes and put it in the freezer. It works wonders for all kinds of pasta sauces, stews, or soups. And I have a bunch of pre-packaged naan, pita bread, and other stuff with an okay shelf life that I can just pull open the freezer, turn on the oven for the naan/pita/french bread, boil some rice/pasta/noodles and be done. I thik at the moment I have 6 different kinds of dinners in my freezer? I thought mealprep was supposed to be something like that, but then without the freezer part, that you just made two or three different things, ate it fresh one day and put it in the fridge for the other two days. Eating the same thing all week sounds horrible to me...

I try to pack on the protein, but it doesn't work. Like I would have to eat a lot of protein which isn't sustainable money wise. Same with snacking on fruit and nuts. I do this already. But I can't eat a bag of grapes a day. I can't eat a container of strawberries and blueberries a day. I can't eat a container of nuts a day. That is what it would take. I try all that, but at the end of the day I end up stuffing my face with potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta. And these things are easier on the wallet. That's my issue with eating healthy.
