Just a little thread to post up your meal prep photos and recipes for the guys/gals that are always asking for ideas.
Maybe include prices for grocery purposes if you're so inclined?



Recipe

10 Chicken Legs : $.79/lb.
Asparagus : $1.00
1pk Bacon : $4

Coat thawed chicken legs in olive oil, apply seasoning of choice (I used garlic powder, rosemary, onion powder, salt, and pepper), bake at 425F for 25-35 minutes.
Cut bottom stalks off asparagus, wrap 2-3 pieces per 1 piece of bacon. Bake on a cookie sheet at 425F for 12-18 minutes (depending on how tender you like your asparagus.

That's it!

Nothing fancy, nothing difficult. Just a quick, easy, and cheap meal prep.

Your turn!

I'm pretty boring with my meal preps. It's usually just chicken breast, rice, and some frozen vegetables.

I generally bake all my veggies in the oven. Partly because I prefer the flavor, and partly because I don't own a microwave. I've always eaten leftovers cold, ever since I was younger. So I saw no reason to go ever go buy one.

I usually boil 1kg chicken filet, cut it up in parts and put portions of 200gr in small containers, pour some sweet chili sauce over it.

On the day I bake it, put some flour on it to keep the chicken moist and tasty and cook some pasta or rice with it.

Mostly beans with it. Or some salad.

meal prep is for bums

So every meal prep is eaten cold??

I don't have a microwave either. I usually just bring meals to work and use the one there. If I have one at home and heat it up in the oven the meat is all dry

Yep!

Chicken is 7 dollars a pound here. Seeing that price makes me sad.

Chicken thighs and legs are .69c to .79c a pound year round where I'm located. There's a little farmers market down the road that always has cheap chicken, eggs, and veggies.
