If I don't get enough calories from meal prep, then I end up eating sweets and stuff.

Thank you and your channel, it's helped me meal prep for a little less than a year. I started at 270 now I'm down to 195. So many choices, every week is different. I'm glad to be a citizen of Snack City!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Holy shit that is incredible 😎

[@dojyr3130]

So happy I found your channel man. Up to 193 from 160 over the last 1.5 years (I’m 27), and looking to hit 210 before next summer to do a big cut. These means are a lifesaver and give me the confidence to strive for this!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Amazing thank you for your support 😎

[@wisemanj2934]

So basically you are bulking and cutting, my man, dont do that, you will just end up adding too much fat, and you will have to cut for a good year if you dont want to lose those muscles you built under. You cant lose more than 1% total bodyweight per week if you want to keep muscles provided your protein intake and macros are accurate. If you want muscles just add a hundred cals over maintenance and start with that, track what happens in a month progress and adjust slightly.

[@dojyr3130]

@@wisemanj2934 don’t worry, I am not dirty bulking or putting on too much fat. I’m aiming for just under 0.5 lbs per week which is not excessive I started with a really small frame with zero lifting experience, so my body weight/strength/size shot up. I’m also focusing on powerlifting right now so eating more than 100cal surplus is good for me. Trying to build the big lifts up too.

[@wisemanj2934]

@@dojyr3130 okay I get it now. Me I went from 155 to 230. Past a certain weight, the drawbacks are that I didnt looked as leaned with the 6 packs and all no matter how hard I tried to recomp, more weight led to unhealthy fluctuations and unbalancing of hormones profile. I went back down to 200 where now my sleep is way better and energy level wayyyy better. Gotta hit that sweet spot lol. Glad you are not dirty bulking, keep going!

It's Sunday evening over here and I was just thinking about what I should cook for my Sunday meal prep, and it looks like I have my answer now. Thanks for the inspiration.

🙌🙌

[@unsoul879]

I absolutely love your videos! I just turned 18, living on my own for some time now, i have full week of studying and working out and i just love this type of videos you make. Its perfect, im not very good at cooking but with your videos its much easier and your recepies have everything i need, wow. I can cook for the whole week don't have to cook everyday and it saves alot of time and with you putting there the calories and everything as well its just perfect really. I am very glad i've found your channel, keep up the good work man, love it. 😁

[@swimkid526]

This is the 4th meal of yours I've made and they've all been fantastic. Thanks for all the work you put into this - keep the bomb recipes coming!

[@vTango888]

I make a meal prep from your guide every Sunday now. So nice to have meals ready to go for the work week. Keep up the good work!

[@user-ci9kt9iq4t]

Thanks for including metric measurements! Very useful!

[@eviltomnook]

I don't particularly use your recipes for gaining or losing weight, I just like your taste in food. I made this recipe for me and my roommate yesterday, and even though I didn't have a big enough pot for all the ingredients and had to cut down a bit (mainly just by not adding chicken broth) it still turned out delicious, especially the next day. You've saved my wallet and my body from the terrors of fast food, and I'll always be a fan.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

glad to hear that!!!

[@phodge14]

As a hard gainer this is the one I needed!! Love your vids man so helpful.

I was stuck almost ordering take away for tonight but then this video arrived. Saved my evening

[@Dupray__]

This channel is so dang good man. So precise, informative, and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@JohnML]

I'm currently doing Keto to lose weight but when it comes time to bulk, this is getting made first!

[@davosazizora4611]

Dude these last few recipes have been unbelievable!!! Thank you!!!

[@reijer.k]

great meal! something to keep in mind however is that beans actually suppress your appetite, making the meal harder to consume. i’d suggest swapping some or all of them with broccoli, boiled eggs on top, and/or parmesan cheese as it is a very high protein cheese.

[@secret4075]

Congrats on the 500K subscribers! Much deserved!

[@RedBeard1620]

Nice WSM reference on the mattress plug lol love the meal prep plans you have, currently trying to save up to get the key equipment i need to start doing it myself. As a 33 yr old with bad spine and leg injury I'm gingerly trying to exercise more and eat better to get healthy, so having a good solid idea of how much food this will make, the calories involved, the macros, etc is definitely needed to make sure I'm getting enough energy from my food vs. what I'm putting out in my job (retail) and training. Keep it going man, looking forward to more!

[@MarcoMangiare]

I’ve never wanted to rewatch an ad so many times before🥵

[@christopheribarra1170]

I just found this out recently, but if you lower the power level of the microwave to say half and increase the amount of time for heating, you don't need to stir. I freeze mine so that turns out to be about 10 min for half the power, but if you don't freeze them, you can just make a circular space in the middle of the food and heat normally and that way everything will cook evenly.

[@trashcanjoe4902]

I don’t have a lot of fridge space but man, I keep tellin myself how i need to make some of these recipes

[@MSUSpartansRock]

Haven't watched the full video yet- so feel free to bash me if you mention this at the end.. I think scaling the serving size down would help out calories, and using a little less pasta as well. Otherwise that looks amazingingly filling and healthy!

[@iceysue]
