I recently moved to Texas and have fallen in love with HEB's Meal Simples. They are cheap and healthy single meal with a great taste. Overall well balanced in greens to protein. Best part is that I dont have to do the actual prep myself, just fry it in a pan or bake it in the oven.
Does anyone else have have tips for health, easy, and cheap meal prep?
$7 for $2 of salmon and $0.50 of asparagus is cheap? You could prep like 3 of those yourself for the same price in like 25 mins.

I'm comparing it to going out to eat. It doesn't break the bank and I have a tendency to over eat if I have my own stock of salmon in the fridge.
Are you so retarded you can't prep your own food? Learn to cook and it'll be way cheaper.
Seasoning salmon shouldnt count as prep user, it takes like 10 seconds. Buy the ingredients and save yourself the money. You’ll thank yourself later
Just got my new glasstop stove

Well I'm comparing it to doing a tiny amount of work and having the exact same meal at 1/3 the price. You also don't over eat if you portion it.
>Buy large chunk of salmon and a bunch of asparagus.
>Toss in pesto
>Put in single serve containers in fridge
It's not exactly hard, label them with macros and day you will consume them if you tend to over eat.
Yall do have a point. I'll probably start next week once my stuff (food scale and storage containers, cooking utensils) gets here.
Fucking government doesn't pay movers for weekend delivery and shits been in storage for over a month.
$17 roflmao.. That shit isn't worth it.
Unrelated but, I'm thinking about moving to DFW from the Midwest... Thoughts / feelings?
cool story, bro
$7
How do you all reheat meals you have prepped without them getting all gross and soggy?
Still not worth it.
Also from Texas, these are great but too costly to eat on a consistent basis from my experience.
I'd suggest buying bulk quantities of frozen meat and vegetables. You can get 10lbs of frozen chicken breast for around a dollar per pound and frozen veggies are more nutritious than their fresh counterparts.
Those tiny vegetable portions I've noticed this in meals /fit cooks as well I don't think I've ever seen someone share a pic of a meal that had a decent portion of veggies most pics show far less than what bI would consider half a portion
This
OP is a fag
That's a good amount of veggies desu
exactly, any nutrients that were missing from this meal were surely present in the icecream i ate for dessert. fuck vegetables
You don't even need to season it. Put it on a grill or over a fire and cook that shit. Let it cool down and enjoy some really nice fish. Add sweetpotato fries that you made yourself and some nice sauce that sou prepared out of fresh leek, cucumber and yoghurt. Friggin delicious and kinda cheap (unlike here in Germany where fresh salmon costs like gold).
Some foods don't reheat well, especially in the microwave. You could try a paper towel over the food to absorb the excess water?
