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.
