Meal prepping the same lunch.
Been doing this for over a decade now. Minor variations in veggies, switched from chicken to beans and rice about a year ago. I love it. Very affordable and I never have to think about lunch.
I've had a co-worker call me a "bad man" when I told him I just eat the same thing everyday. I get it tho, people need to change things up. But for me as long as it has nutrients and doesn't taste bad I genuinely don't care that it's exactly the same.
What was his fucking business? no one forced him to do the same, fuck that guy!
Yeah, dinner is where I get variety, as are all weekend meals. On weekdays breakfast is the same quick and easy meal, and lunch is the same easy to throw together the night before meal. On rare occasions I'll switch it up for a time or change the meal, but it's been a few years of lunch being the same.
It's fine, sure I'd love more variety, and if I retire I'll probably never fall back to this meal again. But I appreciate the fact that I don't have to think or plan or anything.
Right?! I love a good time-intensive meal now again, but other things can be nice too. If I can make 7 days of food in the time it takes to make 1 day of unique meals, that frees a dozen hours to do something else. I can wait until Christmas to try that 5 hour lasagne recipie. Meanwhile I can focus on what's important... like shitpost comments
What do you make that lasts 7 days? Or do you freeze it?
What is your lunch? Rice and beans with a veggie side? Anything else?
1 bag frozen corn, 2 green/red/yellow peppers, refried black beans from a can, rice with a packet of taco seasoning thrown in for flavor, and a grilled sweet onion. Split across 5 glass Tupperware containers.
Used to do broccoli, brussel sprouts, mushrooms for a little while, but the corn, peppers and onion keep really well. Its that last meal on Friday that could sometimes get questionable lol
I wish I was like this. I grew up on a lot of the same meals over and over because my mom worked her ass off and didn't have time to cook fresh all the time. Now I can't stand having to eat the same meal even twice in a week. It wasn't so bad when I was less busy but now I am busy and feel exhausted when I have to think of new meals to make.
