I finally stopped meal prepping on Sundays

Used to spend every Sunday cooking 5 identical lunches for the work week. After 2 months of eating sad dry chicken and rice I realized I hated it. Now I prep components instead of full meals - I cook a batch of beans, some roasted veggies, and a grain on Sunday. Then I mix and match stuff through the week from whatever I have. Anybody else get sick of eating the same thing over and over?

Oh man, congrats on escaping the sad desk lunch prison. Sounds like you upgraded from "meal prep" to "meal guess" and that's honestly a win.

You said "meal guess" and honestly that's more real than most people admit. @noah_chen17, what's the worst thing you've pulled out of your bag at noon that you actually ended up eating anyway? Because I've definitely choked down some questionable leftovers that I wouldn't serve to a stranger.
