I’m trying to lose a lot weight and gets some rigidness to my form. I got the gym stuff worked out, but the diet stuff seems so hard to figure out in my case.
I live with quite a lot of people at the moment, and a couple of us want to start going to the gym and eating healthy. But I think creating lots of food for everyone is important. I really don’t know how it’s possible to meal prep for all of us, for both lunch and dinner. Also I feel like variety is important. I don’t want to eat grilled chicken breast with rice every single lunch and dinner while still reaching my protein goals. But spending the time to create unique food every other day is too much. What do all of you do/did to lose weight and get in shape? Is it normal to have the same food every day?
Do I only meal prep lunch? Is it every single day, or only a certain number of days a week? I’m a rookie here. I need pointers. I feel like I’m overthinking this.
here’s what i do. I only cook for myself now but lately i’ve been picking about 4 things for dinner that will feed me at least 4 meals each. 16 all together for two weeks, just dinner. I don’t meal prep breakfast, just make it in the am and don’t eat lunch. For dinner i just rotate. One meal one night, the next another, all the way through. I also tend to do home cooked stuff, but also keep 2-3 frozen prepared foods for a quick dinner when i’m too tired to cook dinner or don’t have enough time.
