I've been meal prepping for 5+ years and lifting for most of that time. It's majorly contributed to my ability to be consistent and to match my efforts in the gym with my efforts outside of it.
Here's what my diet ends up consisting of. Other than breakfast (a pb&j), I make all of this ahead of time within 2 hours on my day off:
Meal 1:
Pb & J with Dave's bread + coffee + vitamins + greek yogurt/fruit/spinach smoothie
Meal 2:
Jedra (rice and lentils) + broccoli, asparagus, or green beans + grilled chicken with hot sauce + protein/creatine/glutamine shake with 2 eggs and almond milk
Meal 3:
Quinoa salad with brocolli, chickpeas, parsley, lemon, oil, roasted red peppers + grilled chicken with hot sauce
Meal 4:
chili con carne with beans OR buffalo chicken wrap OR chicken soup OR roasted ham OR oatmeal with pumpkin + sweet potatoes OR butternut squash
+ casein protein shake with banana
I do this five days a week. On my days off I wing it, usually having more time, and tend to make steak or duck, tilapia, spinach salad or something else that is better fresh. Or I go out to eat and keep it healthy/quality.
What kind of meal prep do you all do? Any go-to recipes? Any deficiencies you see in my plan?
