Meal Prep These Deconstructed Big Mac Bowls in Just Over 30 Minutes

[@poonwagon]

As someone who is new to meal prep and have very little culinary skill, your channel is honestly a gift man. Ive done a few of your recipies and several oat bakes from the channel. Everything has turned out perfect and tasty. Definitely buying a cookbook to support you. Keep it up

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Thank you for your support 😎

[@brianfromthirty]

Literally. Started prepping at the beginning of Feb and the simplicity of his videos makes everything so easy as a beginner

[@tieember9596]

It's legitimately comical how basic things are never taught, because the people that are capable of teaching them are too busy doing those things. It's why teaching is a profession in of itself.

[@KiNG-tx9je]

Honestly real lifesaver. I cannot stand cooking or shopping. This makes life so so easy. And tasty. You rly are helping change my life

[@avenue4624]

wait there is a cook book?!?!?!?

[@waynepayne9875]

And he even has the entire written recipe laid out on a mobile-friendly website. This channel is a godsend. 🙏🏻

[@simonl8284]

The website is efficient as the meal prep! Finally don’t have to wade through half a page of someone’s life story to get a great recipe.

[@yaboi_69]

finally. a channel that makes food prep in a quick video, instead of 25minutes of chitchat.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

lol I can hardly fill up 5 minutes haha

[@ryanhass8716]

In a sea of youtube cooking channels with longer than necessary run times and impractical prep times/ingredient lists and abrasive personalities, this one stands out to me as being one of the best that I've come across. Thank you for putting these vids out, Josh, you earned a subscriber.

[@thenintendoboy1]

Seriously man. These videos are well done. I am not sure if you meant to construct them like this but they're spot on. 1) Giving tips about cooking things to save time 2) Different options for cooking hardware (e.g. air fryer) 3) Tips on how portioning doesn't matter week to week 4) EVERYTHING IN GRAMS 5) How to buy produce at the grocery store. If something isn't fresh, get something else. 6) How to reheat AND eat the dish?? Never seen any youtuber (for meal prep) do this before. It's actually so important. These top down shots are good but I'm glad you include different shots. Please don't go the "tasty" route and be a top down everything. Love the videos man. Keep it up. Wish I could make content this great.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Thank you so much for your support 😎

[@YeomanJustin]

I have meal prepped for years and this is easily the best channel/website for it. There no need for 20+ minute videos on any one meal. Straight to the point good meals. I appreciate the imperfect containers as well. If you do it for long enough, that's what all of them look like.

[@zack6438]

been coming back to this recipe over and over again. great recipe for weight loss and super easy

[@StFUChaarles]

I suck at meal prep and cooking in general but your recipes make it so simple. Your content is a godsend for the culinary challenged, I am really looking forward to this one! Thank you so much for all the recipes!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Thank you 🙏

[@khoibui1207]

Have been looking for a channel, recipe site like this since I started meal prepping 2 years ago. you earned a new subscriber!

[@MrIzzySparks]

love this recipe man! just a tip, if you rinse the potato pieces after you cut them, the starch you rinsed out will make it so the potato crisps up better :)

[@MacrosBlack360]

I love that your ingredients are so simple. I'm german and most channels use a lot of stuff that isn't available here.

[@werwolf120]

Bruvvv honestly ur Channel is a gem of simplicity

[@RyanEllisFitness]

I’m moving into my first home in April and I’m so excited to have my own kitchen. Your channel is going to be my first visit every Sunday to help my diet stay on track during the work week. Keep up the awesome content, my friend.

[@edwardnava3554]

Big Mac! Oh awesome! I did the turkey meal preps and my kids even liked them! Thanks Josh these Big Mac meals are getting done this week!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

So glad to hear that 😎

[@dragonflame9615]

another amazing video! straight to the cooking instructions no talking about something that doesn't matter and best of all its a simple recipe that doesn't take forever to make and makes a lot of meals

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Thank you 🙏

Bro, you deserve a medal. Your channel is a Godsend. Content is pure gold and your production is amazing!

You hold a fork like you forget you have opposable thumbs 😂 much appreciation for all these great recipes. I’ve tried quite a few, they are super helpful for someone like myself who works on the road.

[@aaronm2283]

Cheap, effective, delicious, quick and easy. That’s how meal prep should be. It’s alright following these fancy cook books time to time. But most of time I’m just looking something easy to cook and eat.

[@justin_3027]

It seems like all the other meal prep channels I’ve come across are the same plain chicken and rice, it’s amazing to see healthy meals that are loaded with actual real flavor and seasoning, I’ve never seen a meal prep video that uses so much actual seasoning it’s refreshing

[@AmarOriginal]

channel is popping off ! respect.

[@0BluePrototype0]

About to make my meal plan for my cut. You are the mvp for giving out all these recipes to gym rats and others looking for cheap, healthy and tasty preps

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Good luck 😎

[@Jack-dv6ke]

Your channel should blow up soon. This is excellent content, great balance between the culinary and fitness world (I’m a part of both so I love it). Love your channel man keep it up, the algorithm is hopefully gonna take you to the moon soon!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Thank you 😎

[@mindleft-buddy999]

I’ve said it before but I will again...you’re the man. My spring and summer diet is 80% of what you’ve shown me on vids for this upcoming year.

[@mindleft-buddy999]

Also, I would maybe add kimchi myself to this instead of cabbage as I am sure that would microwave well and is more beneficial for the gut. But that’s just me. This is the working out mans Big Mac, who woulda thought?

[@tomhetzler4856]

This is the best meal prep channel on KZbin.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Thank you 🙏

[@Slayblan]

Probably the only KZbinr that I have heard talk about reheating. You got a sub. P.S. I’m making this recipe this weekend 👍

[@Kyoningu]

Hi, I made this last friday, and I just ate that with husband. We love your recipe. I'll try other recipes. Take care!!

[@waynepayne9875]

Stayed up until 3am last night making both these big mac bowls and a shit ton of popcorn chicken, had 1 serve of each for dinner tonight and cannot get over how good they are. I feel like I just had a giant cheat meal yet it's all within my calories and macros. I love this channel so much.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Amazing 🤩

[@travisbalthasar9544]

Nice pivot w the cabbage 👍

[@cykix9499]

Just made this and just wow!!! Even my 14 Yr old who hates everything including air right now lol commented thst it was good and asked can he take 1 for dinner. My hat is off to you sir. On the 2nd receipt of these and can't wait to make more.

[@CrackerBarrelKid551]

Very interesting about cabbage vs lettuce. Wilting lettuce was always an issue when I meal-prepped wraps, so I ended up removing it. I am actually now going to try with cabbage, and make a coleslaw chicken filling instead of salad-type chicken filling

[@AntonioHernandez-xl3il]

I think i will try this with the addendum of just taking a bit of shredded lettuce to mix in after reheating.

[@JCinLapel]

Something that will be a little more time but a way to keep the crunch of those potatoes is to pre boil your potatoes in water with baking powder (10 min in the microwave work remove the water then cool) Brown them off in the oven or air fryer but get them as brown as you can then let them completely cool before construction the bowls add a paper towel in storage to absorb any condensation in the containers. I know this sounds odd but trust me it will keep more crunch then you think.

[@b_dub8414]

I cooked this last night. Couldn't find the cabbage and what not so it was just the ground beef and potatoes. It looked like it would be plain but I put it in a bowl and splashed some ketchup and relish on it (didn't make the sauce) and it was totally delicious. I spread it out into 6 plates .

[@youTube0909b]

you sir deserve a badge of honor

[@megabot398]

Your recipes are great, I so far have made 3 of them from your channel and they all have been fantastic and healthy. Keep up the great work!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Glad to hear that thank you 🙏

[@avenue4624]

just made this tonight, worked well. i feel like i may be a big eater as i looked at my bowl of demolition bigmac. not as filling as would like but them i may eat more than others in a single sitting.

[@jackquinn1357]

This channel is goated.

[@Triforce75]

Great video! Tip on the potatoes for others: -cut them a little bigger and boil with salted water and a little bit of baking soda them until just fork tender -strain them and let the steam go off for about 5-10 minutes. -toss them in a boil plain just enough to break up the outside edges but the main body is still intact -coat in olive oil and bake at 350f for at least 20 minutes, however you can bake them longer if you like them crispier. Internet Shaquille and Ethan Chlebowski both have more indepth videos on what I said! Trust me these potatoes are great, and although I have microwaved them before, I've left them on the counter until cold and they were still crispy.

[@edwardnava3554]

Love your page Josh! Just wondering if you have any ideas for Mexican food but I love your page seriously! I’ve finally managed to actually food prep for the first time

[@TheMealPrepManual]

I’ve got a few on my website 👍👍

[@FatalityVirez]

I've never seen an adult that holds a fork this way... Would you say these also keep in the freezer?

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Haha I knew I was going to get called out for that. I will go to my grave contending that this is the most optimal and efficient way to hold a fork. And I haven’t tested them in the freezer but I would say no because of the cabbage. It’s worth a shot though

[@lukeycc67]

Made this today, had to exercise a tonne of self-restraint to not eat the entire batch! Great job

[@davidstjean7691]

Thank you for this recipe

[@infinite1172]

will make this soon with a potato/sweet potato mix, looks real good

[@SzaboB33]

I made this. A serving looked really small but I loved it espacially the sauce and after eating it, it did not feel that small of a serving. We ate it in 2 days, I will create a new batch today :) Thank you for the recipe!

[@God-yt1ol]

You fucked up, Bence

[@patricksreels]

Oh boy, these are going to be up for next week!

[@Jupiter9999]

that honestly looks pretty dank. will be trying this!!!

[@EdwardAlcala]

The end of the real is straight FACTS, weighing your prep before is always the same outcome when you divide it and it doesn’t make sense to waste time with it and the potato’s. I watch a lot of body builders/strong men that prep and it’s great. At the same time I’M not training to be a strong man or an Olympian it just to take tips in and different recipes, other people try to mimic that and it just leads to unrealistic expectations lol

[@goozy101]

Hi Josh! Love your videos. I’m wondering where you purchased your pan? Thanks in advance!

[@travisbalthasar9544]

Best line “shoutout to beef” lol 🤣👍😎

[@nicolascosta515]

I loved it!! Any tips to decrease some of the calories? I'm willing to get 450kcal/lunch max.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

leaner meat, less of the mayo in the sauce, more cabbage and less potatoes, air fry the potatoes instead of roast so you don't need oil. There are lots of ways you could do it

[@OldManGamer1985]

I've been looking for ages at meal preps, as I've decided its time to start sorting my health out and you are by far the best channel for meals I have found.

[@lune5289]

i have no words thx u josh

[@skarasik4021]

That looks great. In the thumbnail, I thought the potatoes were croutons!

[@nargrfg]

Would be really helpful if you could include the fan oven temperatures too for these recipes ! Other than that really creative , helpful and easy recipes to start meal prep , love your channel 🤗

[@TheMealPrepManual]

The temperatures are included. Not sure what you mean

[@ELP1125]

DEFINITELY making this

[@FioreRed]

So my honest concern w these kinds of things is using plastic material in the microwave. Should I just go for glass prep containers and put stuff on a plate or is there an easier workaround? Love the channel man, thanks for the great videos.

[@diode_wow]

If you have glass prep containers, go for that. A lot of people use plastic because they're usually really inexpensive.

[@Crokto]

same here. and a lot of plastics are listed as microwave safe but...just cuz theres no bpa doesnt mean its good for you. id just say to try to get borosilicate and remember that just cuz the glass container is good in the microwave doesnt mean the oftentimes plastic lid is

[@autismAwakens]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJW3aaKEl6yEjtk

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Yeah I don’t love microwaving plastic either. Usually I’ll transfer it over to a glass plate if I am at home. I’ve just never found a glass meal prep container that I liked and was the correct size. I have tried just about every single one on the market. I tried to get my own manufactured with the correct dimensions and couldn’t find anyone to do it

[@NightKnight25]

Tried this meal for my toddler and his mom, who are both picky eaters. I grew up in an on-off vegetarian/pescetarian household (I still am pescatarian) so I basically cook meat dishes halfway blind, so to speak. Worked for both! For anyone who has picky toddlers, mixing the cabbage with the beef worked for me (if your toddler is skeptical of anything that looks kind of like a leaf or a tree). And the "Big Mac" sauce (I used vegan mayo and coconut yogurt so I could eat it too) can also be used for other things. I chopped up some raw carrots and had my son use it as a dipping sauce, and he gobbled it up.
