How to meal prep healthy (and cheap) for the next 6 months

I recently saw a video on "how to meal prep for the next 6 months and how much it costs". There were a couple of red flags.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>**"6 months of high-quality meat for $10"?**<br><br>The meat was mixed (50% meat, 50% fat). A healthy (and cheap) alternative would be a combination of beans and oats. For example, a 2 kg bag of oats for $10 and a 500g bag of beans for $10. You can make around 4 times more meals out of these.<br><br>**"a 12-pack of eggs for $10"**<br><br>Compare that to the cost of a bag of oats or a bag of lentils that you can make a lot more meals out of.<br><br>**"drinking 1L of water (with protein powder) per meal"**<br><br>Drinking 3L of water (diluted with protein powder) per day?! I get why they're doing that (to make it look like they're eating a lot, and to make their meal prep more "efficient")... but that's just not healthy.<br><br>The entire video was so weird... I've never seen anyone drink 1L of water with protein powder and call it a meal. Or drink 3L of water with protein powder in a day. And then have a big portion of boiled rice with some frozen vegetables as a "snack" (I don't know what they consider a meal and what a snack...). And at the same time brag about how much weight they've lost and that they're "healthy" now. It didn't look healthy to me at all.
