Psyke Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Ok, so I am not very organised so meal prep is a no go. Combine that with a job where I don't always know where I will be at lunchtime and I often find myself grabbing whatever is closest. When I'm at work I am 2 mins from fitfood cafe (www.fitfood.nz) however by the time I buy a large meal it gets quite expensive to eat daily. What are some of the food options you have all found on the go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETN Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Buy food from supermarket. Prepare it if necessary. Take it with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Cook for 2 or 3 more people at dinner. Make lunches with the extra. That's all I do. No extra effort and cheap as. My freezer is full of meals Iv cooked. I used to buy musclefuel but was becoming expensive and I thought that was just being lazy. Mine taste better and are cheaper so win win. It's not hard just takes some thought and preparation. You don't have to meal prep every Sunday and waste 3 hours of your time.

Terrymundo Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I know the feels bro. I sometimes get a roast chicken wrap from subway which is like 7 or 8 bucks and not too bad on the macros. Another hack is rice cups with tuna, no meal prep just heat and eat and a meal is less than 5 bucks. Psyke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainlikeafreak Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I don't believe in buying lunches besides on the weekend but IF I do buy food it's what is close and I'll usually buy a roast meal or pita pit with extra meat. Both good quality foods but you are looking at $15 per meal and if you are doing that every day I hope you earn a lot of money lol. oh and nandos of course.

Bruce Al Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Saw this experiment on Story where some fat dude ate only pies and beer for a week and lost 3 kgs. So 2 or 3 big bens. HarryB and FellowshipOfTheRon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Like RT And TLAF I cook multiple meals at a time and just eat those for a couple of days. Cheap and I know exactly what's in them. No one who's providing pre cooked meals is using the best of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadmouse Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 My go to meals when I haven't got something prepped/dont feel like eating chicken and kumara are: 1. 5 grilled tenderloins from nandos with either spicy rice or salad 2. Chicken breast Pita Pit with extra chicken 3. St Pierre's half carb sushi with brown rice 4. Chicken Kebab on salad or rice, double meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulzy Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 i find this meal prep annoying too and then end up buying expensicve meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingersman Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 If youre willing to put all the effort in the gym why not put a tiny bit of effort in the kitchen? i can understand occasionally feeling lazy but no time is no excuse. Cook up few days of meat at a time and store it in fridge, cook up carbs night before and add veges. I prepare 2 meals daily the day before and it takes maybe 30mins. Out of 24hrs are you busy for every minute of that? PETN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
