    If you don’t have a good sized freezer, get one. It takes as long to prepare 6 portions as it does one. Lasagna, chili, soups, whatever. Now you have the option of cooking when you get home or microwaving something you know you’ll like.

      Yeah and you don’t have to eat them all in a row. Make 6 portions today, and have one a week. Tomorrow, 8 portions of something else.

      Also,meal prep doesn’t nessecarily mean making completed meals. If you have to chop one carrot for this meal,peel and chop 5 of them, freeze some,save some for salads, and save some for dipping or whatever.

        Similar. If you have half a carrot left, put it in a quart sized container and freeze it. Add excess veggies until the container is full, and then use that to make a soup/stew.
