Hi Melissa, I'm 50 with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, I just had knee surgery, but I'm one of those who works out ten times harder than your average person, weight loss has always been my battle ground and I've tried every fad diet and wasted money on fitness trainers, I'm going to follow your example in the hopes it will work without going under the knife next year.

[@michelle.stephenson]

Hi Melissa! I love your channel! I am 53 and a 2X breast cancer survivor trying to get back in shape and eat healthy. I used to lift weights and work out many moons ago and just recently started doing meal prep and lifting weights. My hormones are all off so my oncologist and my PCP are getting together to see what will work best for me being a cancer survivor. Hopefully, I can do everything naturally.

[@eleanorday1854]

I’m so pleased for you! I hope your fitness/wellness journey is going well 😊

[@emelyrivera904]

You are changing my life! I have learned so much from you.This 51 year old thanks you dearly. I love how though you have one on one instructional videos that we can pay for and change our lives even more with the benefit of your advice, you still give that and more to us day to day with your awesome tidbits that are truly life changing. Love it! 50’s, 60’s and beyond are looking fab!!

[@coolingwinds]

Hi Melissa, I am new to you but a lifelong prisoner of weight. I happen to be turning 55 in a couple of weeks, which I am very happy about. Obesity is not acceptable for me. I want to be healthy, but it is more difficult as you get older. Your plan seems to be well thought out and doable. I look forward to implementing your process into my daily life. I have started following you on Instagram, also. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏾

[@teapot1991]

I always meal prep swear by it. Sunday is prep day..😁 Great video.

[@heathersretirementshenanig6785]

Hello Melissa! I am definitely doing meal prep since I don't like cooking. So doing meal prep means I'm only cooking a couple times a week. I'm new to strength training and really enjoying your videos. I've been watching for quite some time I just don't comment often. Keep up the great work on your channel!

[@dawnuncles8563]

I have meal prep previously and then I stopped. Temporary insanity. This definitely works and I did much better with my weight loss when I meal preped. 😁

[@yvonnekoval5713]

I am going to start meal preparation.

[@alfredasmith5181]

Very helpful!!

[@MelissaNeill]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MichelleCGuy]

I will be returning to this practice. It worked well when I did it before. I just fell out of the habit.

[@kellyann9347]

I’m going to meal prep based on this video. I wasn’t doing it before. Thank you!

[@MelissaNeill]

You're so welcome!

[@bethtownsend]

These recipes look great! Just made your protein pancakes for breakfast this morning!

[@faithhopejoywithpastormari9069]

I am going to try this. Thank you!

[@belindajardim3145]

Melissa your so awesome, greetinga from South Africa

[@daricerobin]

I’ve meal prepped. It’s a great, but after the 2nd or 3rd day the food no longer tasted fresh to me. I even tried freezing it.

[@tiffanybernasek2492]

❤

[@winstonchurchill571]

“I absolutely love chopped chopped brussels” With your English accent…

[@lauracappuccino1484]

I get scared with fish to have it in meal prep because I got really sick on left over fish and I ate it the next day after cooking and I was very very sick

[@nicolabrowning7700]

Hey Melissa I am 52 and want to build up muscle not lose weight what do you suggest?

[@lorettarobinson2263]

It's difficult to afford to get all the groceries needed to get started. Frustrating.

[@bethtownsend]

Getting the supplies to do this today, by the way.I know that the food prep will help me succeed in my weight loss journey, but it occurred to me this morning, if do the food prep, I'll have fewer dishes to do during the week! I know that's not the point, but what a bonus!

[@DHasan-nx8dz]

Melissa, this video reminds me, as do many of your posts, that it is important to take care of ourselves. When I prepare my food in advance, I know that I will have healthful food that will nourish my body. When I don't, I may just go hungry, or grab whatever is convenient, neither of which is good. Thank you for the quality in your videos and for your caring heart. 😊

[@MelissaNeill]

Love that!

[@gloriabatchelor1019]

I would probably exchange the shitaki noodles from time to time to califlower rice

[@moedervanbranko409]

Not a fan of meal prep. Eating the same stuf for 3 days? On day 3 it's no longer fresh! Besides, heating the meal up in the plastic container in the microwave is anything but healthy. Im happier cooking/food prepping every single day. I like my food fresh and healthy.

[@seymoursimon]

Has anyone told you that you have a naturally amazing ASMR voice!

[@mdl5066]

Melissa,you are wonderful. I really like how you share your joy and success with us. very inspiring, thank you.

[@h3bysuzanne184]

I like what your doing, looking forward to getting back on track for 2022. A little nutritional advice ( am trained in this area) for longevity is: lose the foil, aluminum is linked to Alzheimers, use fresh ginger and garlic versus already in a jar. The medicinal properties are Much higher in ‘ fresh herbs/garlic’ than ones that sit on a shelf.

[@pammypoo3003]

I agree, and glass containers are better than plastic.

[@latanyaflynn6053]

Thank you so much!!! I've been praying to be taught how to eat healthy. I am going to definitely try your meal preps as they look delicious and I think your meals are something I can follow. Thank you for inspiring me!!

[@marizarivera9177]

I have meal prepped before but your recepies look delicious, yumm! Time to get back in the habit. Thanks Melissa!

[@alexandrav.6242]

Melissa, would you consider doing a video on alcohol consumption? You mentionned a couple times that you used to drink and have cut it out altogether now. I think a lot of us find it hard to imagine not drinking at all (especially these days), but I know from experience that it does feel great and really helps with slimming down.

[@veroniquediallo6055]

Hi, this is the second video I have watched since yesterday and all I can say is that I am inspired. I don't meal prep, except for my juices. A little bit about me: back in 2014 I was struck with a severe case of fibromyalgia. It took two years to be diagnosed (I love Dr's), and finally in the spring of 2016, I was finally 75% physically mobile. It took a few more years to regain some strength, but the muscle loss was tremendous. It's quite a shock to the mental aspect when you've been athletic all of your life. Fast-forward to the present, I am returning to cycling and running after a hiatus. But, I seriously need to reconstruct my body because of the atrophy and strength loss. I have adjustable dumbbells, an adjustable weight bench, and a rowing machine that was gifted to me. Food prep needs to become practice. I admire what you have accomplished, and see you as a role model to guide me in reconstructing my physical being. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your video library. Cheers!

[@denisedelisser4063]

Thanks Melissa, great video, I got some tips 😃

[@parvoxlox5532]

Yes, meal prep helps a lot when you’re tired and From going off track thanks for the ideas

[@nedafernandez2789]

I meal prep, however was running out of recipes.. Thank you for this video!!

[@MelissaNeill]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marinmadorado]

Hi Melissa, I love your burrito meals, but I am wondering, don't you add any carbs with that, like a Mexican tortilla or boiled potatoes?

[@melusine826]

I wish people would address the difficulties of making ethical/low carbon choices - all the packaging and recommendation of Amazon purchases is a problem for me 😕. I'm not vegetarian but low impact and ethical meat is expensive 😅

[@urainaheyward190]

I never meal pre, but I ate the same meals every day during bodybuilding and for many years. Meats I would cook in avanced, for the most part. Thank you for sharing!

[@cblighter4540]

Ty!😊 I like glass... healthier though heavier. 😉

[@MelissaNeill]

I agree!

[@sandrad2816]

Hello Melissa. I do meal prep and appreciate the recipes. I see that I do need to weigh out my servings to make ease for tracking.

[@sandravargas4426]

Hello there, I already meal prep but I am a bit confused on how to use the scale. Can you help with that? Thank you so much for the content you share. 🙏

[@essence178]

I love to cook...the thought of having to eat a certain way for the rest of myself makes me want to die younger but i guess i am going to have to if i want my favorite trousers to from 35 to fit me at 56 😢😢😢

[@andreawiatrek94]

Amazing advice. My dad struggled with his weight and he meal prepped. My mom still has the scale. This is great advice. I’ve been trying to count calories, but how can you get it right without weighing the food? Makes sense and these recipes look delicious 😋 Thank you ❤️

[@hipretty]

I don't eat meat (I'd use veg mince or tofu for sure) but thanks for sharing...the meal ideas are lovely! 💗🙏🌺

[@darlapowell2730]

I've followed Bright line eating for the past couple years having lost 30 lbs. I make 6 servings of oatmeal, w/ banana, nut butter, chia and flax seeds. I portion out four, and freeze the other two for when ever. I also make a big salad with lots of veggies, nuts, seeds legumes, using a simple vinaigrette with apple cider vinager and 1 tb olive oil, the good stuff. Then drizzle with strawberry balsamic vinager. SO good! Since watching you I've made an attempt to add more protein other than beans, nuts and seeds. I am just getting over Covid, and an injury of my hip and hamstring, so I'm easing into weights, stretching and swimming. I wish I could have signed up for your 8 week challenge. Between just starting to getting back to workouts after a couple years, (I'm almost 64) I felt like I really couldn't compete because of being out of shape and careful not to reinjuring myself. Plus I didn't have the money. BUT I took before photos and measurements and I'm inspired to follow along the best I can. Maybe I can try on a future challenge. You inspire me!

[@MelissaNeill]

Would love to have you on a future challenge! Until then, please keep up the great work!

[@melusine826]

Plastic containers have some benefits but negatives too

[@purplegal05]

I like the idea of meal prep but I hate eating the same thing more than a couple of times

[@makgatimokwenapilgriminhee2550]

thank you very much. This is very useful. I see that it’s not a lot of food at all. I may have been eating huge servings, so your video has helped me get an idea of gm and calorie amounts to eat. Thank you. You are a veritable inspiration Melissa.

[@alicejones9031]

Im going to start meal prepping! Morr recipies please

[@Zoejireh]

I love your delivery style of methodical speaking without rambling, assuring and upbeat. Even if I wasn't interested in the subject-matter (and I most certainly am), I would still want to listen to all of your videos several times over. The information is also amazing. Thank you

[@GloriaH-ei4on]

Do you have a link to the scale??

This is awesome. I enjoyed the video. I would love a few recipes. Thank you

You talk slow and talk way too much during lifting

[@MelissaNeill]

Welcome to my channel Danya 💪🏽❤️😃

[@agnesgarcia2610]

You are BEAUTIFUL lady!! Thank you so much for all these amazing tips. I am going through menopause now and i feel miserable!! My body looks so ugly and bad!! And i used to do bodybuilding/figure competition many years ago and do my exercise at least 4 times a week, but my body changed tremendously!! Make me so depressed. :( My question is, what kind of meat i can use since I am vegetarian. I just don't like animals to be killed. :( Just my opinion. Thanks in advance!! Many blessings to you!!

[@eleanorday1854]

Coconut has a high burning point so it’s the best ‘vegetable’ oil to use. Olive oil is good to use when not heated.

[@jolleenthomas9135]

Do you weigh out the veggies as well? Or just the meat and beans?

[@MelissaNeill]

not normally

[@nancyfenelon3485]

I noticed that in your seasoning you are not using any salt. Should I avoid using salt in my seasoning?

[@MelissaNeill]

You can add salt if you want to I am not against salt.

[@Pichounette1967]

I noticed you haven't used any salt, even a small quantity. Is that because of water retention?

[@MelissaNeill]

I don't cook with salt and don't forget the chicken dish has soy sauce so your wouldn't need salt. It's always better to add salt when you eat the food not during cooking.

[@GloriaH-ei4on]

Okay I will try and meal prep. thanks!

[@MelissaNeill]

Hope you enjoy

[@christgospelchurchofcolumb1430]

Great video

[@CeeCLove]

Thank you for this video. I struggle with meal prep but, after watching this, I will give another try.

[@diannerobertson4357]

Thank you for the meal prep ideas. Will definitely try out those recipes. Would you bake the tofu same way as the chicken?

[@MelissaNeill]

Yes, definitely

[@royaldainties7]

Yummy 🤤😋 I can’t wait to make this 🙌🏽😊💕 Thank you.

[@MelissaNeill]

You’re welcome 😊

[@gainsbygrowth]

I recently found your channel. I started doing meal prep few years ago and was the best decision. Like you said I saved a lot of money and helped me with my body transformation journey. Lunch meal anywhere could be like $12+ and not the healthiest option. Love the video and will add your recipes to my list❤

[@marinmadorado]

I absolutely loved this video and the combination of the 2 recipes is very good, because they both have a lot of different ingredients and they contrast! I am still wondering how to eat for a whole day but I will watch your other videos. I guess that these are dinners, but they could also be lunches. What about breakfast? Also, what about snacking between meals?

[@erzsebetpoda2161]

Thank You, Melissa! I'm so grateful I found You! ❤🙏

[@GrmnShprdGrl]

I would love to meal prep, but I need help. I drive all day for work, so I need something that doesn’t need to be warmed up. I really struggle finding travel food.

[@mineyourmoney5278]

I think I need to meal prep.

[@MelissaNeill]

You got this!

[@Mrsmetamorphosis2012]

Thank you I’m 43 and been out of shape for 20 years. Yup I’m ready. Going to use my large mason jars putting dressing at bottom but lettuce at the top. Thank u.

[@eaholder9772]

At the end of the meal prep it says 39g protein but is it not 100g in each bowl you have packed

[@traceybennett8053]

This is wonderful, thank you! The video says, "what I eat in a day", so are these 2 meals the only thing you eat or do you also have a breakfast? Thank you!

[@souadmahamoud2564]

Thought the same as the calories are very low to sustain a healthy adult the worksout

[@rebeccaofpollywogflatts8976]

I do much better when I meal prep. I had gotten out of the habit. After watching your video I feel motivated to get back to prepping my meals. Thank you

[@lindaschwartz504]

How many calories in total for protein and all other food are needed for the full day when you are in your 50's? I have lost 5lbs since last year and went from 120 to 115lbs now. I also struggle with IBS and various foods.

[@ibcandy]

I just started meal prepping again and your video gave me some wonderful tips especially on how you use the scale and make your side sauces🙌🏼

[@MsBrooklyn62]

I enjoy cooking and being retired I'd rather make my meals as needed. My only problem is when I buy fresh food and if I don't eat it all then it goes bad and I have to throw it away. Today I made some tuna with a little mayo to put on top of my garden salad for my post workout meal.

[@Robin-gf7bd]

All of this looks so delish!!! I’m going to get all the stuff and get started!!! Already have the scale from watching some other videos of yours. Do you still make oatmeal in the mornings and out protein powder in it? I can’t find a decent-tasting protein powder.

[@thornewaugh1503]

Hi there. Love your videos. I'm confused. Are we supposed to weigh our food before or after cooking?

[@bee6684]

Thank you so very much for all your information and help. Could you suggest a book or information for pescetarians

[@shamimazaman8255]

Looks great. If you avoid using the microwave which I do what's your tip for heating them up?

[@gerrygold9273]

👍💯❣ I live alone and this is something I have been doing for many years. Because I found when I cook I would prepare it for days a head because I was busy working. I would plate up the meals in the plastic containers and freeze them. So I know I always had something delicious and nutritious to eat. And if I chose not to eat it that the 3rd day and fancy something else it would stay fresh in the freezer because I froze it straight away after it was cooked. I didn't know it was called officially Meal Prep. Its just something I found easy for me to do and not waste my food when I cooked a meal. But thank you for this video it showed I'm on the right track and I have started weighing my food now as I want to gain muscle. I'm just a skinny flat woman that loves to stay fit but would like to gain muscle as mine has despaired some how. I am 61 but shhhhh don't tell anyone.... I would like your help on how to gain muscle to improve and change my body composition. I do go to the Gym but only started doing that over the past 2 months. But I love it.. I want to grow.. Thank you ... take care.

[@wendypowell6015]

Love your meal prep. I will follow your meal prep ideas. Thank you ☺️
