meal prep is a psyop to raise your histamine levels and to take the soul out of cooking
>just Uber Eats for every meal like a REAL MAN
>>22144377What does meal prepping have to do with histamine levels? Just because you're eating old food for days at a time?
>>22144387Raising histamine/cortisol is zoomerspeak for "getting stressed"
I don't know why people meal prep when you can just make a huge pot of slop and throw some in a container before workinb4 spergs that don't eat leftovers
>>22144392Getting stressed is millenialspeak 4 "being down in the dumps"
>noooo don't make your own meals ahead of time! go to McDonald's!
>>22144393You just described meal prep
It's so much easier in the colder months. Just make soups and stews. Boom done
>>22144393This board is so fucking retarded. Just kill yourself.
mmm microplastics
>>22144397“being down in the dumps” is Gen X speak for “singin the blues”
>>22144420Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you can separate one instance of an activity from the activity as a whole. Does this image make you feel better?
>>22144427Dis nigga eats like rabbit 1 day then a lion the next>1 entire day of just eating tomatoes
>>22144427I don’t the approach to the green onion here
Every so often I make a bunch of ham, cheese, tomato sandwiches and put them in the freezer to have at lunch if I don't have anything leftover.
I ran into a bodybuilder friend at the supermarket yesterday and he was talking at me about meal prepping and how I should go back to the gym. He can still gym. He's a single faggot with no kids. I'm a dad.That's everything I know about meal prepping: that some gay 5'4 muscle manlet who probably wants my cock does it do I would guess everyone who meal preps wants my cock.
>>22144455You sound like the kind of married faggot who believes that cooked meals just magically show up every day and your wife's just sitting around eating bonbons.
>>22144455serious bodybuilders kinda have to meal prep unless they wanna eat out all the time, it’s just a pain in the ass to be constantly cooking. I remember a video of ronnie coleman going home on his lunch break, pulling a plate of chicken out his fridge that would feed a whole family and just dumping barbecue sauce on it. that’s what making it looks like.
>>22144459No, she has a job. So do I. And we swap cooking days between us. So I'm intimately familiar with how much effort goes into cooking a substantive meal. >>22144472Yeah. Bro was stocking up on cheap chicken breast, 99¢/lb one day only sale, and broccoli. Hey, if you can do that, more power to you. I run in the mornings. That's enough for me to not get superfat, though I'm not jacked like I was ten years ago anymore. Still trim, just no longer with clearly visible abs.
>>22144407no I just described eating leftovers. meal prep is when people do shit like the OP image and make 5 different things and put them in Chinese restaurant Tupperware.
>>22144377no, it's just psychopath behavior.everybody has 15 mins. per day to chop up some fucking vegetables and throw them in a pan with butter.
>>22144423"singin' the blues" is boomer speak for "i'm horny".
>>22144377Do you psychos just make up things?>holding the pan with your left hand decreases your polysorbate reflex inhibitor malfeasance
>>22144387>>22144392Was gonna say, is histamine the new cortisol which was the new dopamine? Why are """journalists""" and xitterfags reinventing body chemicals nowadays?
>>22144484Lol, intentionally making leftovers to eat later is still leftovers, dingleberry.
Imagine shitting and pissing yourself over people eating leftovers.
>>22144393>I don't know why people meal prep when you can just [describes meal prepping]Bruh
>>22144377meal prep is for psychos, maniacs, and miserable people that have no control over their lives. what kind of masochist devotes a small sum of money and hours of what little leisure time they have to make sure they can eat the same OLD food for every meal for the week just so they can save 15-30 minutes and a few bucks each day. no sane, wealthy person with a high quality of life meal preps. I know pets and farm animals that have a fresher and more diverse diet than meal preppers.
>>22144731>miserable people that have no control over their livesif preparing things in advance is "having no control over their lives", i dont think you understand what the word "control" means
>>22144407When talking about slop he was most likely talking about things like soups and stews, the kind of stuff that unironically gets better after being reheated. Compared to OP's microwaved chicken breasts which is always a dreadful experience. It's not the same.
>>22144377I work from home an cook every day I hate heating meals especially things in your picture
>>22144387histamine levels rise significantly each day after a meal is cooked before eating.
>>22144377Then why does that look delicious?
>>22144415I don't understand how it is so bad. I used to frequent here a lot years ago and it is seemingly worse. It's because the 4chan hobby boards even cooking bring the most autistic screeching "um ackshually" faggots of all time
>>22144479>So I'm intimately familiar with how much effort goes into cooking a substantive meal.not much at all.
>>22144747Nah it's the same type of people that refuse to drink at all because they go on a bender every time, meanwhile the average person can have multiple beers a day without becoming an alcoholic.
>>22145225Because it hasn't been frozen and destroyed yet.
>>22145242lmaoWell, not most nights, anyway, but there are a few that require more effort.
So this is the New Thing To Be Pissed About™?
>>22145288Apparently. My go to in the winter is to make a giant pot of sloppa that can just be heated up when I'm hungry
>>22144377>prep raw ingredients >pull out just what I need for a mealHistamine fags btfo raped and gaped.
>>22145322that's called cooking
>>22145246You’re just slapping the keyboard and hitting enter with no regard for how stupid you sound on purpose at this point, right?
>>22144377billions must consult pretentious yet horrible reddit chefs that insist you must stir a pot of soup every 10 minutes when simmering it for 6 hours because reasons and cave to novelty cooking off tiktokJust make 2-4x batches and freeze what'll go bad it's not that fucking hard and is most of the time only slightly more effort than making a standard batch. big cake tins are literally free cake>>22144731not everyone is a corpomillenial lole>>22145246what>>22145385lole>>22145247fag
>>22144377Meal prep was once upon a time called making dinner and luching on leftovers Boomers are right with this one
>>22145518>luching
>>22145322that's how to do it. just prep ingredients and cook something with an extra serving if you can and it reheats well. Meal prepping like a week of prepared food is just stupid and sad and it will taste like shit reheated most of the time.
>>22144377This "put everything in lunch boxes and then freeze them" must be social media bullshit. When people come up with that kind of pointless extra busywork then obviously they'll get stressed out and then say "omg cooking is like so hard I have to just eat $10 fast food burgers ok???". Just put the pot you cooked it in into the fridge fucking hell.
>>22145749Something was lost in the shift from "leftovers" to "meal prep." It was just a normal ass thing, and then it had to be a dedicated social media post worthy thing.
>>22144377The best kind of meal prep is making something like soup or roast or casserole and putting it in boxes or jars for the next 3-4 days.
Meal preppers smell bad and they are always farting out such foul smelling gasses because they are always eating food that is rapidly decomposing.Cooking meals days ahead of time is actually the laziest fucking shit. Eating is one of the 6 basic functions of life and if you can't dedicate 4.17% of your time preparing food than you're fucking doin it wrong.
>>22145749>Just put the pot you cooked it in into the fridge fucking hell.doesnt work if you need to keep things frozen>>22145790>t. projecting
>>22144377K
>>22145795>projectingNO U
>>22145795Then put it in a freezable container. I cook huge pots of pasta sauce all the time, put it into jars and freeze some of them. A jar will contain 3-5 portions of sauce. Usually I just scoop it onto my noodles. Sometimes I will heat up everything in a pot. It depends.
>>22145816yes, exactly
>>22145296>>22144785>>22144393What are some good varieties of said sloppa
>>22145790What I don't understand is why they freeze all-in-one meals rather than meal components.I was meal-prepping before social media was really a thing beyond MySpace because I was recently diagnosed with lupus at the time, couldn't predict when I would feel well enough to cook a proper meal and hated going out to eat or ordering delivery so when I felt well enough, I would cook several mains then portion and freeze them. Then several vegetable sides, portioning and freezing them, too. That way, I could mix and match. Oh, today, I'll nuke roast pork and have it with the lecso and fasoulakia. Oh, today, I'll have the mushroom-gravy-smothered boneless chicken thighs with mashed potatoes and the asparagus. Oh, today, I'll mix the meatballs with the lecso, a stock cube and some water and have a stew/soup thing. Oh, today, I'll have the frozen raw salmon and microwave steam it with that compound butter I froze with it and eat it with the asparagus and the frozen root vegetable pilaf. That sort of stuff.Why freeze broccoli with chicken and potatoes and eat that every meal for ten days like a schmuck with just a little variety makes your not want to kill yourself from the monotony? Are people really so myopic that nobody has figured out to do that? Is humanity fundamentally retarded?
>>22145869chicken paprikash and gumbo are my favorites. with gumbo you have to take the rice separately but other than that easy enough.
>>22145869pasta with sauce but double or triple the meat if you're not poor
