How often do you cook? Have the same few things in rotation? Cook for anyone else too? Prep multiple days at a time or cook every day? I personally work a weird schedule so I prep food 5 days at a time. Also only eat one big meal a day. That could be anything in my dozenish meals rotation. I prep for my girlfriend too but shes simple. For her I cut up some vegetables (bell peppers, cauliflower, celery and carrots usually) then cook up a couple pounds of seasoned meat (chicken breast or 90/10 ground beef). What about you?

    I cook every day, I don’t meal prep. Why would I want to spend almost an entire sunday prepping when I can spend half an hour cooking every day?

      I exclusively work 12 hour shifts with a 45 minute commute each way. Time on work days is real precious. Knowing I have a good meal a few minutes in the microwave/air fryer away stops me from getting something shitty on the way home. Granted I have a lot of days off (14 a month). So I’m a bit more lax during my 7 straight off.
