I do pretty good I’m just in search of ways to make work lunch prep as brain dead easy as possible. A couple points specific to me: I don’t like to eat the same thing more than a couple days in a row and I very rarely take frozen meals because they’re expensive and don’t have the nutrition that I want.

    Im like you! A burrito wrapped on Sunday does not taste good on Wednesday, at all. Especially if ive already eaten said burrito days prior. Batch cooking helped me a ton! I’ve gotten in the habit of having batches of cooked grains/legumes in the fridge. Throwing together a bowl, salad or wrap with whatever veg or protein I have on hand is super quick. However, I know this is not exactly what some people want from meal prep since it’s not exactly just grab and go, but it literally takes 3 minutes or less to put together, so not a tall order. And on days I’m home or have some extra time, lunch is a soup or frittata/scramble or cakes (bean cakes are delish and easy af), and comes together in less than 10mins. My methods may not work for you but there are a ton of ideas out there around batch cooking, give it a look and I’m sure you’ll find some that resonate with you.
