Meal Prep on Sunday to Eat Healthy All Week

The Problem

Every weeknight you're tired and default to takeout. You buy groceries with good intentions but they rot.

The Hack

Sunday: cook 2-3 proteins, 2-3 carbs (rice, quinoa), and roast 2-3 vegetables. Portion into containers for the week. 2 hours of work, 15+ meals ready.

Why It Works

Decision fatigue is the #1 enemy of healthy eating. When healthy food is already prepared, you eat it. When it requires 30 minutes of cooking at 7 PM on a Tuesday, you order pizza.

Pro Tips

• Start simple: chicken + rice + broccoli × 5 containers
• Different sauces/seasonings on each for variety
• Glass containers reheat better than plastic
• Freeze 5 meals if you won't eat them by Wednesday
