I bought way too many deli containers.

THANKS!

I'm sorry people made comments about your weight. That's messed up. I also want to say that I really respect you bringing up how it made you feel. It takes courage to be that honest, but it is also very helpful to everyone around you to see and hear this. For what it's worth; I think you look very nice. I loved this video and I learned a lot from it. Eating the same every day was holding me back from mealprep. I will definitely give this a shot. Thank you!

I would put date on the label instead of name of ingredient if you are preparing so much. Or name and date if you plan freeze it

I felt the "it's the only way to mealprep if you have some self respect" in my soul. These mealprepping videos where you eat the same meal for one week drive me crazy! THIS i how you mealprep!

Stay strong man, I've been watching you for a while now and you've always been a considerate person. That empathy can hurt sometimes with the negativity of others but know that you've made so many more people (such as myself) smile and appreciative of your work.

"Hello everyone. I am kevin's video editor, Kevin." LMAO

I use glass.
I use the freezer.
I pickle.
Those plastic containers are hard to wash and reuse. Wide mouth pint jars are amazing.

Me who's not gonna make anything but still love to watch his meal prepping. Great work brother!!

Did something similar to this when I was trying to lose weight and had started a new job. Would come home from food shopping and immediately wash all the produce and start cutting and blanching. I also did the poached chicken or cooked down some ground beef. For me half the battle of losing weight is reducing the amount of decisions I need to make about what to eat. If I have all the components ready and I know calorie counts it’s simple and I can still be creative in the kitchen while throwing together a salad for lunch or making dinner in 15 min with minimal clean up. My similar meal prep would take me about 2 hours.
I’m terrified of my mandolin. Hope that heals well and quickly. ❤
Jumped on this video from the instachat thingy but originally found you here.

Been watching you for quite a while and whenever I feel depressed and about to fall back into eating massive amounts of expensive fast food (basically my addiction) I always watch one of your videos. They make me feel inspired and happy. Your videos always show me that you can always cook something and it can be easy and quick. It doesn't have to be some super fancy meal, just something nice and comforting. Thank you for making these amazing videos.

This is the only type of weekly meal prep that makes sense.

Hey Kwoowk, I hope you're feeling better man, it sucks that people feel the right to be so awful towards others through the anonymity of online interactions (or even without that tbh). I know it's hard to ignore them so try to keep in mind they don't have your best interests at heart and they'll never be satisfied because their comments are made to force their egos onto you. It doesn't matter what you do, they'll just comment on something else. It's nasty behavior but I feel recognizing this helps me move past the negativity sooner.

so sorry to hear people made you feel this way. you sound like an incredible human being, I wish you all the best in life ❤ haters are always gonna hate, their words aren’t worth anything

[synetraparker]

This is the best meal prep video I've seen!!!! I always wanted to do it to save time feeding 5 people, but if they have pre made meals in the fridge, they won't eat it. This is absolutely doable!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤. I can't thank you enough 😊

Having a pressure cooker is a game changer! Cooking mutton becomes easy for my mom and saves time.

A tip: Just use a wooden spoon to lift up the steam hole so you won't burn yourself.

[dochollowday]

A small comment on the pressure cooker - I love mine, which is actually the second I owned. Great things, especially for making your own stocks for soups, sauces, and the like. Highly recommended.

[TamekaMeans]

This guy is hilarious. I love his humor. I love how he is so down to earth.

Thanks! I'm 67 and working on my own healthy eating/activity program. It doesn't get easier as you get older, lol. I love your posts and the manner in which you approach your topics. I always feel encouraged in my move forward. I did the full meal prep and half went bad, which discouraged me for a bit. I dislike wasting food, but I prefer variety to same old all the time. After watching this video I hauled out all my storage containers and went through my crispers. Oh my goodness! After three hours I have everything prepped, relatively easy to see (I ordered some 16 oz deli containers.) It's great to know exactly how much fresh produce I have! Since I eat a lot of fish it will stay frozen or canned (in the fridge) until needed. Thank-you for your videos and the humorous and helpful posts. Your curiosity and honesty about recipes and cooking tips (Yes, I am also a victim of not using a mandolin guard. Lol) - well, keep it up!

I grew up with old school pressure cooker, basically just a thick saucepan with a thick lid, gasket, valve and lock system. Apparently you do lose some nutritious value and color, but you cook anything pretty much twice as fast, sometimes thrice. Quite a dealbreaker. My mum often put the bottom part on the stove almost max gas on like a normal pan, turn on the kettle to get some water boiling, cut the meat and veggies directly above the pan (no extra cutting board to clean after) and by the time she was done cutting: it started browning, the pan was hot, and water ready to be put in and the whole thing was under pressure in less than a minute. Then you lower the flame to low and forget about it for a while, and boom it's done. Total active cooking time of maybe 15min including the cleaning of a knife and the cooker, but you got a massive dish that would have otherwise taken 30min of active cooking + lots of dirty dishes and hours to cook. The power of pressure and smart cooking is strong.

For the chicken breasts (or any poultry for that matter) an alternative is to brine the meat in the fridge for a few hours. A fully grown turkey will take a day, but it'll always stay juicy. You can even flavor your brine based on the type of meal you wanna make. Cloves, dried orange peels and thyme is a classic.

We love you Kevin!! Listening to you while cooking just makes the whole video so much better. Keep being awesome
