I work in a restaurant business. We have to take a test on food handling. You shouldn't leave cook food out more than 2hrs. You should never leave cook food or leftovers in the fridge for more than 4 days. Anything after 4 days should be thrown away. Because bacteria grows. The food might make you sick.

You are very sweet to keep clarifying the same things over and over, lots of patience. May I suggest a weekly question and answer LIVE that may really bump up views. You may have to repeat things yet again, but there is something about followers being recognized in a live exchange that many of the most popular Youtube channels have started doing.

Thanks for the video Jeff I agree prepped meals should never be frozen.

Thanks for yet another informative video. It does make sense that every now and then there will either be a cheat meal or another meal that is not a prep meal since you might go out with friends and wouldn't be taking a prep meal with you but instead would eat it on your 6th day or 7th day. It's good to see you go through so much effort showing what meals you are having and how you prepare them as well as what other food or snacks you eat during the day. Looking forward to new videos.

yeah... never freeze cooked food. refrigerate... but never freeze coz the chicken will be freaking tough jack even after thaw. We tried that once. Nasty. Thanks for the clarification vid, Jeff. Thumbs up

Of course refrigerating is better but freezing is good in case you dont eat the food. For example sometimes I forget we are getting catered lunch meetings at work or a friend invites out to eat. A frozen meal with be equal to a meal 3rd day in the fridge but at least it wont spoil.

Right to the point. That's what I like about your videos

[andrewcarranza]

the reason your food taste bad when you freeze it. is because your freezer isn't cold enough and therefore causes the fibers to separate in the meat this causes the juices of the food to be pushed out (bad taste). if you used dry ice or like liquid nitrogen in an ice bath it would be preserved the same day you made it. or just buy like a blast chiller.

You know what? I have no idea what freezing the meals does to the food, but it's never good once heated back up. It's so much better to heat it up from the fridge.

How does the food last 7 days in the refrigerator?

[alecallcock]

making a fashion statement with all the beads on your wrist? I like the teal color haha

[keruanne]

How do you keep cooked food stay fresh for a long period of time? It would be good if you could do a video on how you store your cooked food.

Hey, I am really wondering if I could get away with prepping for 7 days, so a full week, refrigerating, without the food going bad, is that a thing? Thank you!

[Unknown-grrg]

How long do you wait to refrigerate after cooking?

[shepshape]

There are three meals a day, times 7 days a week. That's 21 containers. Not everyone is going to have an entire refridgerator solely for prepped meals. There's no way to put 21 containers in a fridge and have room left over for all sorts of other food for other people in the house.

Thanks bro. Im preapin since 5 month. And your vids helped me alot 🙏🏼

[heryfauzan]

[studymusic]

Can i ask you something? It might sound stupid. But I'd rather ask and know about it. So, here it is. Do you need a special type of freezer from meal prepping and storing food items? Or literally any freezer can work out. And what about the people who meal prep for 30 days. Is it okay? It it healthy? What about the bacteria that grows? Sorry, i have no one else to ask these questions. And Internet isn't always valid.

[robrichmond]

Well orchestrated and to the point!
Nicely done bro!

How that song go? "Same old thing... just a different day."

On a positive note that means you are getting newer viewers if you keep getting the repeat questions. 🎉
