Meal Prep Guide
A curated collection of ingredients and meals that hold up well for batch cooking โ how long they keep, how to store them, and how to reheat them without losing quality.
Weekly plans
Full five-day rotations built from the combo meals and components below โ pick a goal and follow the day-by-day breakdown.
Balanced Week
BalancedA five-day rotation of five prep sessions on Sunday, built for someone who wants healthy, home-cooked meals on autopilot without eating the exact same thing every day.
Cutting Week
CuttingA five-day, higher-protein, lower-calorie rotation for a fat-loss phase โ built around the same combo meals as the Balanced Week, with carbs trimmed and protein pushed up.
Ingredients & combo meals
Individual components (rice, chicken, vegetables) and ready-to-eat combo meals assembled from them โ filter by type below.

Chicken & Rice Power Bowl
