EAT CLEAN

Batch Sunday — high-protein recipes

BATCH SUNDAY

One session on Sunday, lunches and dinners handled until Thursday. Every recipe here makes at least 4 portions in 40 minutes of active work or less, from ingredients any supermarket carries. Chili, curries, meatballs, rice boxes — food that reheats better than it started. The point is removing weekday decisions: when the meal is already in the fridge, eating clean is the lazy option.

Nutrition values are estimates per serving.

QUESTIONS THAT COME UP

How long does meal prep last in the fridge?

3–4 days is the safe range for cooked chicken, beef and rice. Anything you want later than Thursday, freeze on Sunday.

What's the best meal prep for beginners?

One recipe, four portions. Not five different recipes in labeled containers — that's how meal prep becomes a hobby you quit. Start with a chili.

Doesn't meal prep food get boring?

Boring recipes do. Chili, curry and meatballs actually improve overnight — day-two is the better meal.
