Here's one of my favorite meal preps I used for a bulking phase. I've provided a detailed breakdown below along with some Q & A to answer most related questions. About 2900 calories / macros at approx 225/350/65 P/C/F. Meal 1 - 140g minsley steel cut oats, golden raisins, 1 banana. Meal 2 - 6oz @FlavorGod garlic lovers 93/7 ground turkey, organic pasta sauce, 1/2 cup brown rice, Ezekiel bread. Meal 3 - 6oz lean steak, 7oz yams. Meal 4 - 8oz grilled chicken breast, 10 oz mixed bell peppers. Supplement - Post workout protein shake. Click read more for Q & A ---> Q & A: Q: How often do you eat? A: I start around 7:00 am and eat every 2-3 hours from there. I haven't seen any documented studies proving that eating every 2-3 hours impacts your metabolism. However, I like eating frequently, so this works well for me. Q: Do you freeze your meals? A: No, I only refrigerate them. I personally haven't ever had problems doing this. Everyone should refer to the USDA website on food safety & storage on how to properly store food. Q: Why don't you freeze your meals? A: For a few reasons: 1. I personally believe you don't need to, your call here. 2. I'll forget to thaw the meals one day, it's bound to happen, then what? 3. For a prepper the only space smaller than the space in the refrigerator is the space in the freezer. Q: How long does it take to prep these meals? A: Usually takes me about 2 hours, but it took me about 4-5 hours at first. Q: How does the food taste after a few days? A: I've personally found that food properly stored tastes the same on day 1 as it does on day 5. This is very subjective, so everyone will be different. Q: What kind of containers do you use? A: The containers pictured are high quality but discontinued. They are similar to the sistema containers you can find in most major retail stores like Target, Walmart or The Container Store. Q: Do you reheat your food? A: Yes, in the containers (BPA free) microwaved. Q: How can I figure out my calorie / macro requirements? A: I would check out IIFYM.com or Myfitnesspal.com. Q: What do you eat the other 2 days? A: Lean meats / sushi / brown rice / veggies. Just within the same macros. Q: Can I just copy your meal plan for myself? A: You should create your meal plan based on your goals and body type.
