I know that I need to do this as it is the only way that I can eat healthy during the busy work week

I try not to do more than a couple days at a time. I tend to get bored and not stick with things like I should if I do a whole week.
Rotisserie chicken is cheating and super easy. I will make a couple days worth of rice/potatoes/whatever strikes my fancy and a veggie of some kind.
Breakfast I will either cook some scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes or yogurt and some oatmeal and usually fruit with either option.

I was thinking of doing some egg cups for breakfast since those are easy to eat on the road

I was thinking of doing some egg cups for breakfast since those are easy to eat on the road I do this and it works out well! super easy to heat up and eat while I'm driving. There's a recipe on Kalyn's Kitchen that I use as a guideline and I typically put mushroom and green pepper in them.You can always switch up the veggies/meat/cheese to keep it interesting. |

I make a breakfast casserole on Sunday sometimes that has eggs, sausage, and shredded sweet potato. It is so savory and then I just have a piece in the morning. Bonus, it is a super easy breakfast for the kids too. When I prep lunches, I will make 4 lunches. I make rice, 4 pieces f chicken and roast a sheet of veggies. I usually separate them so I am having a different side each day. Like GhoatMonket, I get bored easily. The best way I have found to prep is to make sure I make too much supper so I can take leftovers for lunch. |

I always do my prep on Sundays (work M-F) and prep all my breakfasts, lunches and snacks for work. I use these compartment containers to put my food in for work. They stack nicely in the fridge and are dishwasher/microwave safe. For dinners I try to buy two-three kinds of meats for the week and get big packages and use one meat package for two dinners. Last week I bought a 6 pack of chicken and used half for buffalo chicken stuffed sweet potatoes and half for chicken tacos. I also pre chop all of my veggies for my dinners on Sunday if I can and store them in plastic baggies in the fridge labeled for what dinner they go with. I also always try to do at least one crockpot meal during the week and I just throw that meal into a plastic bag in the fridge so I can just dump it into the crock on the day I'll be fixing it. Weekends we usually do leftovers from dinners during the week. |

I got in the habit of meal planning/prepping when I did a round of Whole30. I didn't stick with that way of eating after 30 days but I did find that meal prep makes life so much easier. I just planned out my meals for next week & wrote out my shopping list for tomorrow. For lunches I'm going to alternate between tuna w/ salad & turkey wraps. For dinners:
Su: Skinny taste chicken parm
M: Teriyaki salmon
T: Leftover chicken parm
W: Buffalo turkey meatballs (I made them last week & froze them) w/ salad
Th: Balsamic chicken w/ roasted veggies (another skinny taste meal)
F: probably out for Mexican
For breakfasts I like veggie scrambles so I will usually chop veggies for them on Sundays.
What is everyone planning or prepping for next week?

I do all my prep Sundays. Usually buy tons of veggies at Costco then chop carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, bell peppers, cauliflower, etc. and put them in individual containers so I can throw together salads.
I do one baked breakfast item like banana bread or mini muffins and a huge batch of tofu scramble.
I roast sweet potatoes and cook quinoa or rice, make a couple of quick dressings.
