So proud of you Kevin for all your hard work! Please don't let the trolls and haters get under your skin. I agree that it takes a ton of courage to express your feelings to others, especially complete strangers. I'm also struggling with weight issues and your videos are very inspiring and useful and educational for me. Also, please don't use BetterHelp. In my honest opinion, it drained my wallet and left me feeling worse than I felt before trying it. I'm not trying to tell people what to do but it's just a cautionary tale. Also, I hate roommates, but I would totally want you as a roommate so you can prep all this stuff and teach me how to do it! 😊❤👍🏼😎💜😃🙌

(i have some to round out my sets of glass ones.) they are rectangular, easily hold a meal, stack nice, you can SEE what you have. and the mini ones are also helpful. totally agree with freezing stuff. if i don't prep a whole meal, though.... i've added more thought into it by having separate parts. so for me this method could backfire. i just make 2 dinner/lunch type meals, rotate, freeze any that go a bit long and repeat. wide mouth mason jars. keen. easy to clean those. haven't tried pickling yet but that seems like it'd be so good.

I have always struggled eating well, first because of poverty and now because of a lack of time and mostly energy. I can relate with you, I hope we can continue trying to strive for healthier food. This video definitely gave me some ideas, sometimes not knowing what to eat is also stressful and you end up just buying whatever you find.

Hey Kwoowk, I hope you're feeling better man, it sucks that people feel the right to be so awful towards others through the anonymity of online interactions (or even without that tbh). I know it's hard to ignore them so try to keep in mind they don't have your best interests at heart and they'll never be satisfied because their comments are made to force their egos onto you. It doesn't matter what you do, they'll just comment on something else. It's nasty behavior but I feel recognizing this helps me move past the negativity sooner.

Did something similar to this when I was trying to lose weight and had started a new job. Would come home from food shopping and immediately wash all the produce and start cutting and blanching. I also did the poached chicken or cooked down some ground beef. For me half the battle of losing weight is reducing the amount of decisions I need to make about what to eat. If I have all the components ready and I know calorie counts it’s simple and I can still be creative in the kitchen while throwing together a salad for lunch or making dinner in 15 min with minimal clean up. My similar meal prep would take me about 2 hours. I’m terrified of my mandolin. Hope that heals well and quickly. ❤ Jumped on this video from the instachat thingy but originally found you here.

SAME! i go into meal prep right after the store (usually a weeknight right after work.) i call it a deathmarch. i'm usually not done till 9 or 10 at night. but i'm already in DOING mode, zombie mode, so i don't have the pitfall of "trying to get started". instantly having a breakfast and a lunch for the next day SO helps. then i do another cook/prep the next day or day after that. that way i'm not cooking EVERYTHING but processed a fair amount of stuff and have a couple meals. good mandolins are great. the problem is getting a sharp one. you also should have a little holder thingy with spikes so your hand isn't in the way. and if you are reeeeeally scared you can get those knifeproof gloves. protects you from knives, graters, mandolins, epic clumsiness, etc. :)

Studies have proven the vast majority of the time obesity is a symptom of a much bigger issue at hand, may it be health-related like an undiagnosed chronic problem or due to socio-economic factors such as food deserts. Ppl should be more considerate of others instead of pointing their finger at them.

Thanks! I'm 67 and working on my own healthy eating/activity program. It doesn't get easier as you get older, lol. I love your posts and the manner in which you approach your topics. I always feel encouraged in my move forward. I did the full meal prep and half went bad, which discouraged me for a bit. I dislike wasting food, but I prefer variety to same old all the time. After watching this video I hauled out all my storage containers and went through my crispers. Oh my goodness! After three hours I have everything prepped, relatively easy to see (I ordered some 16 oz deli containers.) It's great to know exactly how much fresh produce I have! Since I eat a lot of fish it will stay frozen or canned (in the fridge) until needed. Thank-you for your videos and the humorous and helpful posts. Your curiosity and honesty about recipes and cooking tips (Yes, I am also a victim of not using a mandolin guard. Lol) - well, keep it up!

You are always so chill about your presentations and opinions and it gives me the confidence to start meal prepping again. Thank you man!

I am so afraid of getting a steam burn from my electric pressure cooker. I’ve always used the handle of a wooden spoon for the quick/manual release. Hope that helps you too.😊 I’m 9 mos. pregnant with my second child, and I think this way of meal prep is way more approachable for me, rather than the freezer meals or doing the compartment containers. My family won’t be able to help out with meals as much this time around so thanks for the inspo! You’re doing an amazing job.

I love seeing the spread of prep food! It always makes me feel proud seeing little jars of accomplishments

We love you Kevin!! Listening to you while cooking just makes the whole video so much better. Keep being awesome

For the chicken breasts (or any poultry for that matter) an alternative is to brine the meat in the fridge for a few hours. A fully grown turkey will take a day, but it'll always stay juicy. You can even flavor your brine based on the type of meal you wanna make. Cloves, dried orange peels and thyme is a classic.

I grew up with old school pressure cooker, basically just a thick saucepan with a thick lid, gasket, valve and lock system. Apparently you do lose some nutritious value and color, but you cook anything pretty much twice as fast, sometimes thrice. Quite a dealbreaker. My mum often put the bottom part on the stove almost max gas on like a normal pan, turn on the kettle to get some water boiling, cut the meat and veggies directly above the pan (no extra cutting board to clean after) and by the time she was done cutting: it started browning, the pan was hot, and water ready to be put in and the whole thing was under pressure in less than a minute. Then you lower the flame to low and forget about it for a while, and boom it's done. Total active cooking time of maybe 15min including the cleaning of a knife and the cooker, but you got a massive dish that would have otherwise taken 30min of active cooking + lots of dirty dishes and hours to cook. The power of pressure and smart cooking is strong.

Literally seeing this man post a youtube video makes me so happy

It takes a bit from the taste sometimes, but it allows you to not only get stuff done quicker, but also you can save money because you can by reduced stuff or bigger bags. Especially when you live alone, that's so important. I even have a large bag with pizza in parts, with self made frozen doe, tomate sauce, mushrooms and salami.

Kevin I love your videos because they’re so realistic. You give normal people actionable tips on how to eat home cooked, balanced meals.

I always thought those meal prep things were for people who hate themselves. Something has to taste incredible for me to want to eat it a few days in a row. The closest thing to meal prep I do is I will cook a stew base that can then be added to and changed every day. It can be used as pie fillings, as pasta toppings, in tacos etc. And every day I will add different vegetables, meats etc so the flavour will keep changing. The depth of flavour that comes from having something cook for multiple days is quite amazing.

The only thing i do different is im making sure as many containers as possible in my household are rectangular instead of cylidrical ones. You'd be surprised how much space it will save you in the fridge and how much easier it is to rearrange them as needed. Mostly bc all furniture in the kitchen is usually rectangular as well. No corner volume wasted.
