Many people prepare meals (“meal prep”) several days in advance. However, they sometimes want to eat it all right away. Also, sometimes when the day arrives to eat the meal, they’re hungry for something else. Meals prepared several days in advance sometimes lose their freshness.

I feel like the whole problem with meal prep isn’t what you’re constantly eating. With me, Im just getting sick of the same texture of foods

My main problem with meal prep is that I absolutely don’t want to eat the same thing for a week. Nothing I hate more than being bored with my food.

You see, the problem with meal prep is deciding what I want to eat several days before I actually eat it. And then actually being able to stick with that decision.
