As someone with ADHD who procrastinates on getting food until I forget, having meals pre-prepped in advance is a great way to ensure I’m eating consistently

Been using your recipes for about 3-4 months now. I used to only do broccoli, rice, chicken because it was easy. Your recipes make it much better for only putting in a little bit more money, time, but with easy directions and simple cooking, it pays off. It's no longer boring food! Thanks so much!

I've done meal prepping for years. Everything here is spot on.

For meals involving rice, I don't package them like you do. Instead I put the protein and veggies on the bottom of the container, then spread the rice on top. It helps when reheating to not just have a block of condensed rice.

Also when reheating the rice, I will place a damp paper towel (soak a paper towel then wring out the excess water) on top of the rice. It will revive the rice to like-new 100% of the time! Total game changer for me!

Thank you. My big take away. It is so refreshing to have a young adult that is articulate, well prepared, and organized in his presentation. Not to mention on point about meal prepping.

To anyone on the fence: this site has made meal prep for me a breeze.

A big reason I always had trouble was that my meals always tasted like ass and I didn’t look forward to them. Now they all taste good and I genuinely look forward to them, boosting my adherence.

16 minute video and not a single wasted word

If you absolutely hate having the same thing everyday you could make a meal with a carb you like, veggies you like, and a protein you like with basic salt and pepper. Then use different sauces or toppings to change the meal. Like Chicken and rice would easily be bbq chicken, spicy chicken, honey mustard, etc.

Also a way to freeze your food, is to vacuum seal it in a bag. Especially soups work perfect.
Once the bag is sealed, lay it flat into your freezer and then you get a frozen plate.
I store my soups in the freezer this way, like in a record shelf.

So when people come over you just pull out a pumpkin soup like a DJ

For reheating rice or noodles I spritz with water and cover the plate/bowl with a damp cloth to create steam.

@Josh I’ve been using your meal prep recipes for about 5 months and I’ve lost 15 lbs. I just bought your gold annual subscription and looking forward to more meal prepping. I’m now training for a marathon and the nutritional benefits from your recipes has been a game changer for me. Keep up the good work and Happy 2023!

[SamPriorClarke]

This guy knows. All these tips are things I've picked up from working in professional kitchen environments. Keep up the good work!

Dude you're a lifesaver. I've been trying to change my eating habits and exercising for the last ten years and always ended up back in the obese range. This year I just decided to do ONE THING (lose weight) and STICK TO IT until I reached my goal (110 lbs). I've always known about you and your website but decided to bite the bullet and purchase a monthly sub to get your recipes. It's been three weeks (started with Buffalo Chicken bowl one week. Last week was Beef Stew. This week is your Hamburger helper) and I lost 10 lbs. I did practice fasting this week (Mon-Wed) so that contributed to the weight loss but I started seeing real results, and I'm finally sticking to it! It's great!

Not me sitting here eating your PB&J baked oatmeal prep recipe for breakfast... Thanks to you and some other chef YT channels, I'm down 35 lbs from this time last year. Exercise has certainly been a factor, but these meal preps have been the ace in my sleeve. When people say "how did you do it?", they are bewildered when I tell them that it was mostly just a change in diet :)

[mikeb.]

Been a member of the site for a few months. You’ve taken out the headache of endless scouring the internet for meal ideas. I log on the website, choose a random recipe and go with that for the week!

Plus, I love how you’re just down to earth and straight to the point. None of that extra fluff.

Thank you!

[angelamendez]

Hello from Houston, TX! I signed up for TMPM in June 2022, meal prep and working out have helped me loose 45 lbs since June. I'm truly happy for I came across your channel! I really appreciate thoroughness of each recipe and the nutrition information. I'm on a calorie deficit and it's hard for me to find recipes that break down the macros of the meal. Thank you do much, I look forward to more recipes!

[Hollenross]

I’m a vegetarian so your recipes usually aren’t for me, but your channel has been GREAT as a single mom cooking for my kid. This was equally as helpful. I don’t always have time to cook, sometimes I work past dinner and bedtime. I still want her to eat more than just pizza rolls. So thank you.

[jasonadams]

Legit found your channel by chance a year ago and used your meal prep site to help me drop some weight. Even after my dieting, I found myself still attracted to using your methods and recipes because you made food easy and healthy. Thank you bro! Can’t wait to see what tasty recipes you put out next!

[XNAdam]

Biting the bullet and really making an effort to meal prep this year. Don't even want to talk about how much I spend on food a month eating out. Just picked up a TMPM sub and am looking forward to getting into it. Thanks for all the content man, here's to 2023!

The Rubbermaid brilliance sets are incredible quality for air tight containers, they have high quality glass and also come in plastic to save some money

[tybkc]

I freeze a lot of my meals and cook in really big batches. So I've got stacks off different meals so I have a decent amount of variety. So for anybody that needs to mix it up, I recommend cooking 2 meals per week and spreading them out over the month.

Hope that helps!
