[@aviva6842]

Don't give teachers ideas

[@jcruz6724]

Agreed

[@lunabelletheinsane]

Why is everyone glitching about the plastic containers. They are reusable. I reuse any plastic I can, because i live with klutzes and glass tends to break when it gets knocked on the floor, plastic does not. Also - while I get the concept behind meal prep - I think they did it weird. I meal prep for the week - but not like that and not in containers like that. And I use much sturdier plastic containers to store my food in that have several years of use on them already and they're still going strong.

[@imhuemankeepURcolorsforcrayons]

Jessica Vetter it’s the chemicals in the plastic that people are aware of. You should NOT use the microwave at any cost. Glass allows you to put in the oven. Do some homework on plastic and microwaves. You will change your out look. I agree with they did the meal prep wrong. They should have done 3 meals for the day. Not just 1 meal for the day.

[@nnyn211]

@@imhuemankeepURcolorsforcrayons Meal prepping just means planning and preparing several meals in advance, which they did. There isn't one correct way to do it as everyone has different needs. Why would someone meal prep for 3 meals a day if they eat prepared food for breakfast and company covers lunch? Next time before you gatekeep someone think about how not everyone is like you and they don't have to be like you.

[@breonawarren1507]

Angelique Campbell Nothing is wrong with a microwave. People have this belief of Micro-waves getting into the food & etc. please do real research

[@hr7460]

The plastic they used in the video doesn’t look reusable

[@stonedmonstera2493]

Generally, plastic, food, and heat are not a good combo. Re-using plastic is fine, but upgrading to glass whenever possible is better for you :)

[@sararc4769]

Actually I love cooking but eating is like eh

[@Clawsome-Clips]

As a little advice to make meal prep easy for everyone: 1. Pick 2-3 Proteins 2. Pick 2-3 Veggies/Carbs 3. Pick 3-4 Sauces or Spices Mix and match as you need. Examples: 1. Grilled Chicken breast in BBQ sauce with broccoli, 2. spagettie sauce w/ ground turkey meat and zucchini noodles 3. Carne Asada Tacos with rice cooked in salsa. Just to name a few. P.S. Have 3 types of snacks incase you get peckish. Done!

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

Thanks for the advice, that must look so delicious 😃

[@gis3leandrade]

in brazil, most people eat home cooked food. we do like this: we cook half kilo of beans, and freeze it in little tupperware. so you don have to cook everyday. the only thing we cook everyday is the salad. i cool meat three times a week. i never buy ready food for meals. i eat out only for fun.

[@camivasquez12]

in D.R. we do the same, and the rice too

[@maxmikaelson]

Not everyone on Brazil do that. A huge percentage of the Brazilian population don't freeze the food...

[@isidoragonzalezbarrios756]

In Chile we do the same

[@oc038161]

Lola Paulmier for me it's just that I can't cook well. I'm a terrible cook

[@linlupin]

I'm that way too, and it's actually super helpful to have meals in the fridge to eat and all you gotta do is heat them up. It's like a healthy TV dinner that actually fills you up

[@mosingbubble]

"how do you even chop parsley?" Not with a paring knife that's for sure.

[@Lioness006]

lol. For real. I was like, 1st, ya get a bigger knife. I just laughed. Like, how can they be so clueless about cooking AND grocery shopping? I started learning how to cook in middle school.

[@Orihimex3]

the scariest thing for me was her cutting right between her fingers with the knife like I wouldn't have been surprised if she cut of the pads of her fingers *shivers* >.< someone should have shown her how to cut the parsley safely without her risking her hands D:

[@ladyfalcia]

Preferably with a mezzaluna because they're gorgeous :D.

[@elyseschroder9093]

It's odd to me that meal prepping and cooking in general is considered to be something most people don't do. Here, where I live, everyone cooks their own meals every day (or they meal prep) Also, to me, $6 a meal is expensive.

[@zariyahrakari7181]

Elyse Schroder Most people cook for dinner but not lunch or breakfast, sometimes dinner too though. Cooking for the whole week seems like a task because what if one wants something different?

[@destiny13006]

Zariyah Rakari I wouldn't say most people. Going out for food is a once a week MAYBE twice per week thing for the majority of people I know.

[@sophiesophie986]

Where do u live?

[@leejc000]

When I used to live in NYC, I never cooked. Ate out breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was working crazy hours so I had no time to cook during week days. Also with so many amazing restaurants in the city it made sense to eat out.. I would occasionally cook on the weekends and have friends over. But grocery wasn’t cheap either since the closest grocery store was the Whole Foods... factoring in labour and cost of grocery it was more practical to eat out. Most of my friends in NY never cooked or meal prepped so I think it depends on your life style and location.

[@b4itstarted]

Same here and I live in the heart of Seattle! I eat cereal or oatmeal for breakfast every morning and I meal prep lunch and dinner (or I make something super easy like pasta, sandwich, quesadilla). Assuming 30 days in a month and 3 meals a day, I average $3/meal. I eat out AT MOST once a month and it's usually for dinner. I meal prep because it also saves me time. Spend 30 minutes cooking and you can have dinner for a week. Now I can go straight home and eat right away - no having to fuss with a restaurant.

[@louisemeredith5018]

[@catrice1296]

@@Anastasia-1123o i ate one today too. I have some for emergencies. And my mom makes diff types of meats and puts it in my freezer and i just add a carb and a veggie to it. Although when i run out then i get a lil desperate bc i cant actually cook.

[@emmilittlemuffin]

I've had a meal swap group for a while now, we each choose from vegan/chicken/beef/breakfast and make 5 seven person serving portions of 2 separate meals and swap, they're all freezer meals so you can pop any of them in your oven or crockpot any night or day you're too tired to cook, and theres always enough for 2 days out of each meal. Ita great, and it's usually only 50$ to make 10 extra meals if you shop right.

[@Ambient_dreamer]

Did Freddie just say $30 delivery charge!? For what? Does that include the meal you’ve ordered?!!😱

[@elizabethreed4879]

I think it was an exaggeration, or already including the meal :)

[@ciaradunphy1987]

I love food but hate cooking. I think it's so much harder to cook for one person as well. I have a couple of recipes that I just rotate 😂

[@TheCatsMe00w]

I love food, I love cooking, but I hate cleaning 😂

[@pheart2381]

Cíara Dunphy how is that even possible? Take chicken thighs, roast with potatoes, or steam with vegetables, or chicken stirfry,chicken soup etc etc. Same for other meat,and dont forget omlettes. Infact everyone should have a steamer,you can even hard boil eggs by putting them in with other items in the food compartment.

[@linlupin]

You would love having a slow cooker then. Just wake up, toss some things in it, turn it on, come back 8 hours later and BOOM! Awesome food!

[@pheart2381]

Jacklin yes,ive got one,brilliant! Especially for soup,stew,porridge!

[@saragm9209]

In my country we cook every meal (?) this video is so weird for me like, where i live this is not a challenge it's life 😂

[@annaniezgodzka1101]

Sara G M same in my country. I have a dinner plan for whole week. Sometimes I cook it day before so I can just heat it up,or I choose something quick to prep. There are so many meals you can cook quickly,I find it a littlw strange they make such a fuss around it

[@funnateruesyeah]

I live in the United States, and this isn't even close to a challenge in my household. I live in a tiny town, so eating out is rarely an option

[@user-pc3lg8tf3q]

they live in LA, so it's not unreasonable to understand why they have the habits they have. it's going to vary from area to area

[@belaayya5094]

I'm from LA. We don't often eat at home. Even since I moved from Cali, my husband and I still eat out frequently. Plus, we're the typical lazy Angeleans -- we don't want to cook, but we don't want to go out, and there's no real food delivery here, so we just don't eat, instead. I've had a green smoothie for breakfast, and a cup of tea for lunch/dinner. This is not abnormal for us.

[@bossytweed6664]

It’s not an American thing if that’s what your thinking but more of a LA financially comfortable thing lol. There are just soooo many different, tasty and cool places in LA to go out and eat at that we find ourselves doing that more than cooking. Like I literally went out to Cheesecake yesterday, Yardhouse today and plan to do crab tomorrow lol. Mind you I have a pantry and frig full of food😂😂 eating out or on the go may be LA culture. Any other LA resident can relate?

[@alishamyers68]

How many people are scrolling through the comments to wait until the intro is done

[@samanthawoollett8259]

My mum and I do this as I work nights, so we’ll make things like curries, lasagna, roasts etc. and put them in the freezer. I just take it out of the freezer in the morning and heat it up for dinner - it’s so easy and then I don’t end up getting take away instead!

[@Laura_Norda]

I batch cook pretty much everything. It's a bit of a faff when you make a whole load of meals in one go, and sometimes I'll be cooking for the best part of a day. But then for about 2 weeks I don't have to do literally anything beyond bunging something in the microwave. It's great! And soooo much cheaper because buying ingredients in bulk is often cheaper, especially with stuff like meat. Love it!! :D

[@FiddlebirdBlue]

May I ask where you're from? I've never heard 'faff' or 'bunging' before.

[@Laura_Norda]

FiddlebirdBlue I'm from the UK. Faff means when something is fiddly and time consuming (in this context anyway) and if you bung something in the microwave (or anywhere for that matter) it's done with no effort of finesse 🙂

Accept to take a bit of time, it's like meditation *_* I plan most of my meals for a week when I shop, and that way I save so much oney (we both are student and spend about 200euro on food a month). Also I am french, so maybe it changes everything xD

[@nicee123456]

Sparot_art it doesn't change, I'm American I food prep every month. My bill is a little over 100. I cook for myself and a family of 6 (including myself) twice a week. This includes all healthy items including catering to a few vegans. I love to cook and even go as far as making mostly everything from scratch. I'm 25 by the way. Happy prepping!

[@Harukiraa]

How is your bill only a little over a 100? We spend almost $200 every week at the grocery store for 5. And my parents are vegetarians(borderline vegan). lol I guess maybe prices are more expensive by me? any tips would be helpful though :)

[@sparo_art]

Ah well I am happy to reed that ! I get pretty scared when I see adults not knowing the base of cooking T_T

[@CoralVictoriaful]

I generally like cooking (but hate meal prepping for a week), but being disabled, and having 2 young kids (who have their own disabilities as well) AND a husband who works from 5am to 6pm, it's not always fun to stand over a stove for 30 minutes with children screaming and stopping me every 5 minutes to help them. That said, we still don't eat out but twice a month.

[@Cheers.-]

Youpi une française! It seems so weird to me too, when I eat out it has to be planned in avanced so I can manage my budget because eating at home is the NORMAL option to literally everyone I know. The only moment I regularly eat out is when I'm visiting a new place.

[@wtf-uo7mr]

I actually prefer cooking then buying junk food and instant meals . It feels like you can just personalize it more to your own personal taste ????

[@eizhowa]

I buy semi-processed foods and personalize them. Like store bougth lasagna pasta and sauce, which I add spice and veggiest to etc. Or pre made pie dough, which I fill myself. I save so much time, and it still allows me to add the flavours I like!

[@ravesroses]

i just started meal preping to cut the cost of lunches when me and my bf go to work so we will usally pay for or buy microwave dinner and then have basically home cooked lunch or on a lzy day buy lunch then eat the meal prep for dinner , i try to do 5 days with 2 diffrent meats so for instance to cut time on cooking ill do 2 chicken and 1 pork dish. ill also try to use the same veggie or side such as rice or pasta to cut down on cooking so if i know im makeing rice for one i may do a fried rice or a risotto for the others

$30 DELIVERY CHARGE?!??! My bf and I had food delivered the other night (for the first time in months, maybe a year); delivery was free and the food was €15. And I live in the Netherlands, which is NOT a cheap country.

[@Harukiraa]

Its through an app called postmates, the app will literally pick up any type of food for you (like mcdonalds, or a fancy restaurant) so the fees are higher, its like Uber/Lyft for food. Typically the only places in America that deliver are Pizza Places and Chinese take-out places and they have a minimum charge plus you tip/have a delivery fee.

[@belaayya5094]

Free delivery??? Please, the US left that behind in the 1980s. There's *always* a delivery charge *and* a minimum order. So, if I want some crappy Chinese food delivered, I am going to have to spend at least $30 for one entree. $5 for delivery, $20 minimum order, $5 tip.

[@Liza-xh5ql]

BelaayyasMusic “left that behind in the 1980s.” Okay...? You can fuck off now.

If we have delivery fees it's usually less than 5 euros. We can order via a website that will pick up the food at various places as well.

Nicole Alynn California Trader Joe's prices, my dudes. Plus they bought salmon.

[@lindseybenefield740]

Nicole Alynn they also.have like steak and good proteins

[@arir6963]

No it’s not lol

[@anonymoususer4028]

Not at all tbh lmao

[@kennabrienn4437]

Well I'm in college and I 100% agree that it's much too expensive😂 My peanut butter, raspberry, oatmeal dinner comes out to less than a dollar.

[@msericaplease]

I consider $6 a meal quite expensive....

[@justarandomchannel9510]

Erica Purr maybe shopping at aldi and not buying two bottles of wine helps 😂

[@msericaplease]

Just a random channel LMAO good point

[@joibelik4912]

it actually is, i meal prep a lot and each meal is like 2 euros (roughly 2.40 dollars) :/ bitch i'm a broke uni student, i can't make stuffed meatballs and salmon!!!

[@alexissolidrock]

trader joes is cheap though. meat is pretty expensive so probably cuz of that

[@annesophie667]

It was probably because they made meat and vegetable meals, If they had a bigger focus on carbs it would be cheaper tbh like steak and salmon aren't the most budget friendly items...

[@reganforestell8911]

I don't know why this video doesn't have more likes every watched it about six times already with every good intention to make these meals love you guys

[@AshiyaWhitley-ShawVeganAthlete]

This is a PHENOMENAL idea!!!! Now I have to find/create a vegan food prep group!❤️😌

[@Ham-chop]

Each meal is SIX DOLLARS? Are you kidding? Thats how much Id like to spend on food for the whole day... I thought meal prepping was supposed to be cheap!

[@bellajackson1325]

HoneybeeWhisper they bought salmon, steak and like 5 different vegetables. You can do it a lot cheaper than what they picked out

[@cb96513]

Also Trader Joe's can be pricy for certain items.

[@belaayya5094]

I manually priced it. It's just under $6 per dish, so $2 per meal, roughly, assuming you subtract Devin's wine habit and the excessive cheese left over.

[@biazacha]

LA doesn't look like a place with nice prices...

[@girlscarf]

The cost of living in LA is more expensive than many states.

[@lorenzaamelio4996]

As an italian (but I think as a non-american) I don't get how this is a challenge.

[@vetoni24]

Rina Berardi I'm from Croatia and my family usually cooks lunch the night before. Then in the morning you just pack it up, cook additional sides if needed and you are ready to go.

[@lorenzaamelio4996]

yeah.. but you still cook it

[@vetoni24]

Rina Berardi we'll I kind of have to since take out here can go up to 10€... and daily that's just too much and too pricey. I can buy ingredients for like 3-4 meals for that money.

[@amandajayasuriya4581]

I was looking for this comment because I too cannot relate to this video

[@quanzelle]

they're la girls

[@genesisadams6029]

How are people saying 6 dollars for a meal is too much? Am I like in some other planet or what? That’s expensive?! What did you expect it to be $1.50?!🙄😂

[@alja4991]

Depends, is it for a meal or for a serving? 6 dollars for a meal is a-okay, for a serving it is outrageous unless you buy super expensive food.

[@bluejay1042]

Genesis Adams yeah I mean it’s LA folks, where it takes $10 to get into the beach and 30 minutes to get out!

[@wigglydragon7447]

My meal prep meals cost about $2.50-$3.00 and could be cheaper

[@lamaraecosplay7253]

If it's $6 per serving, that's $126 a week per person on just food, with no snacks. ($6×3 meals × 7 days) That is just not attainable to a lot of people!

[@prairiehorse6168]

For 6 bucks, you can get a foot-long subway sandwich where I live which is 2 meals approx. So, it's definitely on the higher side. I think 4-5 dollars would be reasonable. It's maybe because they are having salmon. Lentils and chicken are a lot cheaper.

[@bellapham1001]

It’s 2020 and I’m still watching these vids. I love them!!

[@chloe2443]

back here 5 years later

[@angelsinthewindow]

You should try making bentos sometime. They are basically meal prepping themselves. I make all my bentos ahead of time when I have to work, the only thing I make the day of is rice because I don't like to have to microwave rice.

[@Harukiraa]

If you ever do microwave rice put a wet paper towel on it before putting it in and itll make it soft and as if you just cooked it. (same with pasta)

[@victorsanchez7366]

I started watching this channel and it reminds me about the try guys. I enjoyed this video.

[@tanninarceo]

That is NOT how you should chop parsley Fred! You could cut your fingers so easily!

[@heyitstay6778]

TanninArceo ok, this is the one “negative” (using negative because I can’t think of another word) I’m ok with because it’s constructive criticism

[@lddr8835]

My first college roommate and I would meal prep 3-4 meals each per week and then swap half of the servings! We each had a budget of about $200 for food a month. I loved it!! It took a while to figure out a routine and figuring out meals that we both liked but it was so worth it.

[@manou5794]

I meal prep everyday. It's healthy (depends on what I do), cheap and delicious. I also often eat leftovers for lunch.

[@breokaydude7575]

Y'all should a video on eating exactly 2000 calories a day for a week

[@MC-ko2mx]

Jen: Shops for, and prepares a whole bunch of meals Also Jen: Goes to a drive-thru for dinner I can relate LOL

[@memeevolutioninfomercials5543]

Jen: What a beautiful world we live in! 2020: Allow me to introduce myself

[@Skooskah]

It would have been cool to have more advice on how to store the food you've cooked, how long it lasts once it's stored, that kind of thing. But the video has inspired me to get prepping once the Asda arrives so I can have a lazy week. (: P.S. Those containers are everything.

[@mitalai]

I would have LOVED to see you ladies do it for 1-2 weeks, so you could be immersed- showing the REAL struggles that happen when incorporating this into life! (A.K.A.- 2 to 3 meals daily, more than one cutesy shopping trip, finding the method that works best for each individual involved, etc.)

[@An-np4yn]

I feel like Mike lost a lot of weight

[@chanuyu]

Min Suga yoongi 💜

[@aaliyah4110]

*mike drop* ed all that weight

[@bibimbap8240]

well i mean i guess if you make them with your friends it's fun

[@FiddlebirdBlue]

I put my mom on speakerphone or put on Netflix or some music and it's fine. Not a laugh riot, but entirely pleasant.

[@hannahk3276]

I love how Jen makes meatballs at like 9am

[@aaronanimations2459]

I feel like I’m going to meal prep things like these when I go to high school next year,school lunches are sad but I’ll probably bring a small salad too

[@harmonyrucco9248]

This video totally made me hungry lol the food looks so good.

[@user-ix4nq9yz8k]

I wonder if KZbin is bugging, but it seems there are no comments ? How weird

[@librasgirl08]

I really prefer fresh cooking and find meal prep weird, especially if you do it for a week. How does it stay fresh? I rather cook myself a fresh meal every day and enjoy fresh flavours compared to something, that might not be safe to eat anymore

[@un_heavenly]

Its all about what you make and when you make it. You just have to make smart decisions.

[@ebbandflowph]

Social Destruction I agree. Some pasta sauces and stews, typically taste better the longer you keep them.

[@sophiethehuman4469]

I agree with @social destruction as well plus not everyone has time after work to cook. I just batch cook then freeze in portions. Sooo easy

[@rominacruz9187]

If I have to do meal prep, I would prepare all the ingredients and then the day I have to eat I will cook it on that moment

[@nataliaalvarez469]

Romina Cruz this is a smarter choice

[@alainacarroll1613]

Meal preping *for a week* Meal preped *for three days* Ah yes this is right

[@sidnikent1560]

Alaina Carroll it says “for the week” not “for a week”

[@TheLucinette44]

Omg I love Jenn so much she is so cute I can't even tell how much she is adorable. And now I'm hungry 🍱

[@krump.mp3235]

I'm doing this for college. If I stay in a dorm, when I come home for the weekend I'll do this and then somehow try to manage microwaving the meals so I have so good food through the week.

[@woerm4903]

its 5:51 am im hungry and i want meatballs and steak AND the salmon but i know im just a middle schooler who can only use a microwave and im allergic to fish,goshdarnittttt im hungryyy

[@phoenixdavida8987]

Haha. I'm 33 and im still in the same predicament.

[@djdriver2344]

Make it with chicken instead it will still taste as good as the fish and it won't offend ur whole class ha ha

[@majormana1]

$6 for a single meal is very expensive

[@LeComplice]

Maybe it's the meat?

[@sosgood00]

But it’s most likely cheaper than eating out

[@Natasha-tx7rl]

Miss Amanda's world it’s probably because they went to an expensive store

[@luvineverything101]

cheaper than eating out tho.

[@audsss16]

lol that's what I was thinking

[@Jaypat74]

Slightly flabbergasted at the amount of plastic used 🤔😢

[@erinmurphy8301]

Jaypat74 it’s not like they’re throwing it out after

[@Jaypat74]

I get that, however just like most Ladylike videos this is probably not something they will continue, it's just for the sake of the video. These containers also don't last with extreme temperatures, not to mention are terrible for your health if you are freezing and heating in them.

[@miwawaraa]

Just shut up

[@abbeyfields9579]

In the info part it says that the containers are reusable if it makes you feel any better!

[@Jaypat74]

MANYBARKINGDOGS haha! Yes you're too right. Easy to get hung up on what others are doing, but just gotta do my lil bit. Thanks for your input! 😊

[@powerpuff4ever]

I work until like 9pm each night and always end up eating out like Freddie. I recognize how much meal prepping would probably help me curb my recent drive thru habit but I'm so hesitant to do so much prep work on my own. Like, I'd have to dedicate the whole day

[@harishsingh5491]

In india you dont store or prep meals in advance unless its a leftover. In every Indian family all 3 meals a day are cooked everyday, atleast two of them are because in some family due to various reasons only the lunch is cooked along side the breakfast but breakfast and dinner always gets cooked everday even if both parents are working.

[@diekje8728]

All Europeans watching won’t find this a challenge

[@brittspeijer]

Diekje that is SO true. Mcdonalds and stuff is something for a special occasion that your parents would take you to every once in a while, and also, $6 is bloody expensive for a meal :O for €6 my mom makes food for the 5 of us xD

[@tanginataiyeba6219]

random question but how did they keep the food fresh over the weak? especially the meat?

[@quanzelle]

or all people who don't waste money on food

[@GothCandyBaby]

Tangina Taiyeba in the freezer

[@maiasitter677]

Britt Blablabla €6 is not equivalent to $6. Plus, they live in an expensive area of the USA. What they bought would not cost me $6 per meal. It would cost me less where I live. Plus...they're kind of...you know...big city girls with lots of money who eat out everyday because they can. The general public, like me, has to cook and eat at home most nights simply because we can't afford to do anything else.

[@vilja6809]

the fact that everything in the us is packed in plastic, even their homecooked meals, makes me and all the dying species cry a little

[@Harukiraa]

You mean their lunches? Its common in the US to buy lunch containers which are plastic to wash and reuse and can typically last a few years until they start getting cracks in them from a dishwasher. How else can you package food so it stays fresh for a couple of days?

[@jennanicolesmith9202]

Not everything is in plastic here. I buy my vegetables not wrapped in anything, and whatever else I need I buy in bulk. I try to avoid plastic as much as I can. But yes, a lot of Americans would freak out if they didn't have their food in plastic.

I live in America and I actually have never seen anyone use hose type of containers for like storing food it is usually plastic containers or bags but the bags kind of state your point

I really enjoyed seeing Mike in this video and him being involved in frount of the camera. ❤️

Omg surprise pot luck meal preps with friends! Awesome idea.
