Unpopular opinion: I think meal prep is the worst way to cook….unless you’re Dwayne “the rock” Johnson

**TL;DR:** Cooking in bulk everyday is the most terrible and most boring way to cook. And it’s not a sustainable way to live.<br><br><br><br>The first thing you need to ask yourself is: if I truly loved cooking, why the fuck would I want to do it 2-3 times a week?<br><br>I mean, why would you do that? Why wouldn’t you want to spend an hour every night to prepare a meal you love? Is there a point in life where it’s normal to bake a cake and eat it all in one night? You eat the cake in one sitting because you love it, and you want to savor every single moment of that cake. Food is meant to be enjoyed, not to just fuel our bodies. And yet, we come to a day and age where cooking is literally a chore, and we shove food in our mouths for the sole purpose of fueling our bodies. <br><br><br><br>If you are a person who likes cooking, you prepare your meals once or twice a day. With people who like to meal prep, they eat all the same meals every single day of the week. I don’t care if you’re a bodybuilder. I don’t care if you are a powerlifter. I don’t care how much protein you need to build muscle…. if you’re capable of doing an 8 hour workout in the gym, you can spend at least 45 minutes to an hour preparing a meal everyday. <br><br><br><br>If a meal prep is for someone who has a busy schedule, it’s even worse. You’re selling yourself short as a human. Why do you have to meal prep? That means you’re not spending time to prepare a healthy delicious meal that gives you life and energy. You’re not spending time with loved ones. You’re spending time working and doing what society tells you to do. It’s terrible. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed…. but it’s terrible if you’re living like Dwayne “the rock” Johnson. <br><br>You want to be a Dwayne the rock Johnson, and you want to meal prep 6 meals…. Well first of all, you’re Dwayne the rock Johnson. Your life is already terrible…. You’re Dwayne the rock Johnson and you still can’t make a Dwayne the rock Johnson sized steak? You need 6 chicken breast? What kind of chicken breast do you need? 6 whole chickens? You’re probably one of the most busy men in Hollywood. Oh wait, it gets worse. He’s a bodybuilder. Oh wait, it gets even worse. He’s playing Black Adam. <br><br>If you’re capable of playing Black Adam, you’re capable of cooking 6 meals a day. I don’t give a fuck what you have going on in life. <br><br>Unpopular opinion: I think meal prep is the worst way to cook….unless you’re Dwayne “the rock” Johnson.
