Trying to get healthier this year and I want to actually stick with it. I have maybe 2 hours on Sunday afternoon to prep stuff for the week. What do you guys make that actually tastes good and doesn't get boring by Wednesday? I'm terrible at cooking so nothing too complicated please.
The real key is not overthinking it. Roast some vegetables, cook a protein, grab some rice or pasta. Divide into containers. Done in about 90 minutes if you keep it simple. I usually make 4 or 5 different combos so I'm not eating the same thing every day.
Pro tip: pick meals you genuinely enjoy or the whole thing falls apart by Wednesday. I learned that the hard way. Also invest in decent containers because cheap ones get stained and it's depressing to open your fridge.

Two hours is actually perfect. I do chicken breasts, rice, and veggies on Sundays. Get some good containers and honestly the hardest part is not eating it all on Tuesday. Stick with simple stuff you actually like or you'll just order pizza instead.
I tried this New Year's and lasted exactly three weeks. Respect to you for actually committing. The meal prep itself isn't hard, it's the discipline to eat the stuff instead of grabbing takeout.
