Pasta cooked in homemade salsa with the addition of canned peas, mini ground turkey patties and Skyr with garlic powder.

- I cook the pasta halfway, then I drain half the water and add salsa - that's how I always cook my pasta.

- I add peas from a can at the same time, sometimes corn...

- I make the patty mixture from pure ground turkey, add a ton of parsley, a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic and onion powder, salt, mixed pepper, chilli flakes and curry.

- I make balls and flatten them because they cook easier and faster that way.

- I bake/fry them without oil in a pan. Approx 5 min on each side.

- I mix the skyr with a little garlic powder and salt

And that's it! Very creamy and tasty and very healthy.

My portion:

- 40g 1% skyr: ∼24 kcal

- 180g cooked pasta: ∼284 kcal

- 60g turkey patties: ∼90 kcal

- 1 tsp olive oil:∼40 kcal

Total: ∼438 kcal

So i work in corporate marketing and thought i need to stop spending all my money in the city on above average food at super high prices 🙃

So I have taken myself to M&S this morning and see the marinated chicken bags ive seen over social media.

I promise they are cooked I did them in the oven but next time I will definitely grill them

So i went for Mexican rice, stem broccoli and Peri Preri chicken breast flats.

I am not someone who goes to the gym so im not trying to bulk but any recommendations on how I can make it better or add anything to it

Might be the wrong subject, but since I’m asking for container suggestions… I am thinking about picking up food in the big city where I work at transporting home during my commute to treat my housebound father to a good dinner. The commute takes over 45 minutes split between 30 minutes on a subway and 15 minutes driving any recommendations for perhaps an insulated box or carrying case that’s not to Boki to bring on a commute but which can accommodate a restaurant meal?

I'm trying to get into meal prepping, but how does the food stay hood all week? Are you freezing portions and eating some fresh? How long do they last in the fridge?

Also, what containers do you recommend? Are there any true and tried ones?

Any help or guidance would be great. I'd love to amp up my prepping.

Hi there fellow preppers! Loving this sub and thank you all for the tips and ideas!

I have a huge sweet tooth and I'm a sugar addict my whole life, but I decided to stop eating processed garbage all together and keep my fridge stocked with ready to eat healthy and delicious desserts.

I'm not on any kind of a special diet, nor am I trying to lose or gain weight just fyi - I usually have 2 per day (as you can see some are missing already from the pic) one after lunch and one after dinner.

My regular diet is about 1800 kcal per day so 2 of these fit in without a problem, no guilt and keeping my body healthy and junk free which is my only goal.

So I bought these cute tiny liquor glasses (much better than the plastic catering ones because they are dishwasher friendly and reusable) and started experimenting! If you want I will put some more recipes with other combinations when I make them, but so far I have a brownie and cheesecake combos which I mix and match depending on my mood.

So here's my contribution -

They are mini cheesecake cups around 130g (or 4.6 ounces) and just about 200 calories per cup!

Recipe for 10 cups:

600g zero fat greek yoghurt

120g low fat cream cheese

40g raw honey

200g blueberries

100g homemade blackberry jam

200g Buillon no sugar digestive cookies

If you're not worried about calories you can substitute or mix the digestive cookies with the blended nuts and dried fruit mix!

Just put a handful of dry cranberries,raisins,prunes with a handful of your favorite nut and you can add raw cocoa powder or cacao nibs and make that the base for delicious raw brownies!

Both can last up to 5 days in the fridge!

(Maybe longer I don't know since they never last longer than that in my fridge)

Hope you like it 🩷

The gnocchi was store bought. The sauce was made at home with a lot of homegrown ingredients.

Simple, clean eating. Taco seasoning was homemade and low sodium. Add a little taco sauce and cheese…a quick, easy meal prep.

Chicken fajitas with sweet potato rice (bottom)

I’ve only eaten the Fajitas so far and they were delicious. I think sweet potato rice might be my new favorite rice alternative.

Hi all! Purchased a few pounds of ground chicken at Sam’s. Looking for recipe suggestions. Will likely be my meal prep for the week. Thanks!

ETA: other than meatballs, burgers, and tacos

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of people, I got tired of the nightly "what do we even eat tonight" scramble — and then still having to write a grocery list from scratch, guess what it'd cost, and hope nothing conflicted with an allergy in the house.

So I spent the last while building MealMate AI — a free-to-start meal planning app that:

Generates a full week of meals based on your preferences, budget, and dietary needs

Builds a grocery list automatically, grouped by store aisle

Shows estimated cost in your local currency (it auto-detects your region)

Has a "cook with what I have" tool — type in what's in your fridge/pantry, get a recipe

Strictly filters out allergens and dietary restrictions (not just a soft preference — a hard filter)

Tracks your weekly grocery budget vs. what you actually spent

Flags pantry items before they expire so less food goes to waste

It's live here if you want to try it: https://mealmate-ai-8842.lovable.app

I'm still actively improving it, so genuinely — if you try it and something's clunky, confusing, or missing, I'd really appreciate the feedback. Building this solo, so real user input is gold right now.

Thanks for reading 🙏

The food is genuinely terrible. Also the nutrition facts seem like the calories are super low for what you are eating - and the food label listed one calorie amount meanwhile the exact same meal listed a different calorie amount on their website. Has anyone else experience this? Any food prep service recommendations for dieting?

What is the best way to not get my egg souffles to not stick to the pyrex? They are a pain in the butt to clean.

Made two pans of lasagna to keep my husband and me fed this work week (pictured here, already cooled and started portioning). I always put good, fresh parm around the edges and broil for a bit for that crunchy cheese edge. Pretty standard recipe, but I like to add lemon zest to the ricotta with parsley. Recipe. Why fix something that's not broken?

Not pictured is the chorizo and cheese egg frittata I prepped as well. It's also a 9x13. Just forgot to picture before I disassembled. The frittata is just really easy.

1. Cook chorizo and drain.
2. Whip 15 eggs with a bit of milk, garlic, and onion powder.
3. Pour into a greased (butter/pam/whatever) 9x13, sprinkle cheese and chorizo on top. Volume is to your desire.
4. Bake at 325 til done. For timing, I start checking it at about 20 minutes. There should be a gentle wiggle in the middle, but not sloshy.
5. If you want, add some extra cheese and broil for 30 seconds at the end.

Then we had mac and cheese, baked beans, and hot dogs rolled in crescent rolls for dinner, like true paycheck-by-paycheck Midwesterners surviving this new world. I call it kid dinner. My husband calls it his favorite.

I’m new to meal prepping and would like to know what are the best containers to get and what are the pros and cons of them?

Kimchi cauliflower rice with fried tofu, raspberry ice tea, carrot cake sandwich cookies, jammy eggs with kimchi salad, breakfast sausage stuffed protein pancakes

We have a household of two. How many meals should I start prepping for the week as a person that just started to meal prep?

Breakfast: Strawberry Matcha Boba Chia seed Pudding
Lunch: Pasta and ground beef with corn and homemade sauce

I’m only working 3 days this week so lots of leftovers. 🥳
