Please, for the sake of your wallet, meal prep.

Every Sunday, for about 2 hours, I cook and cook and cook. I make sure I make enough for my fiancé and I to have lunches for the entire week. That's all it takes, two hours! And like $40 in groceries.

lol.. every Sunday for 2 hours all you manage to make is lunch for 5 days... You still haven't done shit about breakfast and dinner for the week. People that meal prep have this weird false superiority about it.

I'm gonna go against the sub here and say I fucking hate meal prepping. I value my time more. The only time I do it is when I'm cutting and need to account 100% for my macros. Rest of the time I'll eat at work or out. I have no clue were the fuck this guy was going he was spending 10-15 a meal a day. I live in an expensive city and the only way i'm spending that much is going to like a sit down restaurant. I can spend 6.00 at work for a good size Chicken breast, and either vegetables or Brown Rice or some other side if I want.

Meal prepping is fine but it can be just as expensive if not more so than eating out. All you really get is possibly better quality and know what's going into it. Meal prepper have this weird cult like mentality about it.
