I typically spend the week thinking about what I'll make for main meals and then execute it all on one day. I make 8 full meals then 5 overnight chia oats and 3-5 portions of whatever meat was on sale at the store. It typically takes a few hours on my last day off any week (work a really weird schedule). I supplement any other cooking/more oats as the week progresses.

Bulk cook meat. Bag and freeze.

When I need a meal – break/portion chunk of meat along with frozen vegetables and flavor as desired – eg curry, chilli, etc.

I found that if the food was too easy/convenient to eat after being prepped that it would just get binge eaten.

Yeah freezing works well for me when I make meat sauces. But I don't usually freeze whole muscle meat that way.
