Meal prep a week in two hours

  1. 1

    Pick one protein, one grain, two vegetables.

    Variety is the enemy of actually doing it. Sauces create the variety later.

  2. 2

    Start the grain and the oven together.

    Rice on the hob, a tray of vegetables and the protein in the oven. Parallel, not serial.

  3. 3

    Cool everything fully before boxing.

    Warm food in sealed boxes grows things you do not want. Thirty minutes on the counter.

  4. 4

    Box by meal, not by ingredient.

    Grab-one-box beats assembling from five containers every lunchtime.

  5. 5

    Sauce on the day, not in the box.

    Dressings and sauces stored separately keep everything from going soggy.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
