this sounds positively revolting.

Old roommate of mine would go three months training for a bodybuilding show and he would go a month of that time eating nothing but egg whites and green leafy vegetables every few hours. Absolutely nothing else for a month.

He'd have a thousand yard stare by the time the week of the show came around

no shade but that sounds like the most boring possible meal you could eat

when you use various dry rubs it makes every meal different. the sous vide makes it nice and juicy, you just heat it up by searing the outsides.

the person i knew with the weekly meal prep routine was a grad student working 80hrs/wk and getting paid nothing. if they didn't take their 3 hours of "free time" to prep they would be unable to eat during the week.

i mean, i COULD get uber eats delivered for breakfast lunch and dinner every day, but ive been going hard in the basement gym for 2020, and approaching 40 my metabolism doesnt give me a lot of leeway when it comes to my intake, so i gotta eat really clean to have any freedom to drink at all. im ok with it, feels good man.

maybe the real answer for most people lies somewhere in the middle, planning your meals ahead of time, and, if you want, making some stuff in advance so if you’re too wiped out to make dinner one night you have something you can reheat that isn’t garbage food, but not being a robot about it and making some fresh meals if possible.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
i often prep a few dozen things over one weekend. if you think it means you have to eat 30 days worth of the same food, you’re suffering from a lack of imagination. i mean, you can, but you don’t have to.

over one weekend i might do up a batch of lentils, a batch of chickpeas, a batch of chili. a few batches of bread dough (you only need two kinds, from which you can make basically all bread things) and bag it by halves. wash and chop veg and package it in the fridge. cook some chicken, beef, and sausages in the water bath and keep them in the fridge. i make a ton of sauces and freeze or fridge them, depending. flatbreads i go ahead and at least parbake. cookie dough gets scooped and frozen on a sheet pan, then bagged so you can bake individually. the same with biscuits or scones.

then if i’m tired or under the weather it’s super easy to just pull, heat, and eat. like a tv dinner only it’s actually high quality and you can mix and match. during the week i can just pull a couple of the proteins from the fridge and grill or pan fry or roast off, add a side from the fridge or freezer, instant pot some rice or toast some bread. meal comes together in ten minutes.

where there’s not a pandemic i might do a weeks worth of meals so that me or my so can just grab and eat since we might be eating on different schedules or need to take a lunch.

it’s not always about cooking a bunch of the same thing; it can be about doing the vast majority of the work so that a nice meal takes little or no effort later on.

I've always been meaning to make-ahead a bunch of stuff but never seem to get around to it. Also our fridge and freezer are perennially full and there's not really any space for another one.

But I only cook two nights a week so it's not a big deal to just chop up some fresh veggies - if I was cooking every meal I'd probably care about it more.

I worked with a guy who did something similar. He'd get a burrito for lunch, and save the other half for dinner.

I worked w a guy who would eat the same microwaved chicken nuggets for lunch every single day. lunch is the best part of the workday so I'm not sure why you'd do that to yourself. This applies to all the daily same lunchers

yeah but the movie is funny/weird because ARE TRADITIONS!!! There’s a lot of tradition in this place! Let me tell you about our firefighter traditions! It’s been 3 minutes, let me tell you about our traditions!

arson investigators are another matter, though. apparently a lot of them are bozos who took a short class and boom, now they’re arson investigators. apparently there’s a lot of guesswork and unscientific methods that get passed off as foolproof evidence 🤷‍♂️
