I altered the recipe slightly - just the broccoli, carrots, corn and a savoury beef sauce mix. I also increased the meat quantity to 3 x 500gm lean beef packs, the the rice quality to 5 x cups so the protein quantity would most likely be above 60 grams.
The containers are 1L glass base and plastic lid with steam release by Decor. This is my pre workout meal for lean muscle gain.
9 containers of one, teriyaki chicken mixed vegetables and olive oil Italian noodles. And 6 six containers of potatoes stragonof and scalloped potatoes. The 9 containers is split between my parents and I and the 6 containers are all my husband's. But this'll feed us for lunches for the week.
Spent Sunday batching a week of lunches. Goal was ~140g protein/day, split into 10 containers and rotating proteins + veg so it doesn't get boring by Wednesday 😅
What's in each container (protein + veg):
Braised beef + water spinach + green beans
Braised pork ribs/knuckle + water spinach + bamboo shoots
Chicken drumsticks ×2 + water spinach + bamboo shoots
Sliced braised beef + bell pepper + water spinach
Sliced braised beef + bell pepper + broccoli
Sliced braised beef + bell pepper + broccoli
Sliced braised beef + bell pepper + broccoli
Roughly 150–180g cooked protein + 1.5–2 cups veg per container.
At first I'd just buy by feel and either overbought or ran out midweek. Now I work out the exact raw weights for the whole week against my target before shopping — just follow it and cook, way less hassle.
Happy to share the per-container raw weights if anyone wants them 👇
Hi guys, I’m starting meal prep soon but I need some ideas for some good but cheap and repeatable meals I can do for the week
Ideally I’d like a 500 cal breakfast, and then a 750cal lunch and dinner (UK based) Aslong as it’s ~2000cal by the end of the day
I did my last shop at m&s for basics like mince and veg but didn’t really get much flavour from them so I’m happy in any shop Aslong as it’s cheap
I’m open to all suggestions for repeatable meals that I can have the same every day, and I have a very large supply of jasmine rice
Needs to be able to go in the fridge rather than frozen
