Meal Prep: Are you really prepared?

Hey everyone! I’m starting to get into meal prep and had a few questions.<br><br>1. How long do people typically meal prep? I imagine you can freeze rice/fish (or chicken)/and steamed vegetables for a really long time. However, can you prep salads? I’m planning to put chicken, lettuce, rice, and (sunflower seeds or some other nut seeds) in a plastic container.<br><br>2. What’s the best way to store meal preps? I imagine Tupperware. However, what are some alternatives? Is plastic better than glass? Vice versa?<br><br>3. What are some proven meal prep methods? By proven I mean people has done it and it works. I’m pretty much doing the same thing as above. I’m hoping I don’t have to do meal prep all the time.<br><br>4. What are some quick meal prep methods? I know you can just boil rice and fish. However, there’s got to be quicker (and healthier) ways of it.<br><br>I’ve tried meal prep before but unfortunately had to throw it out. I used to meal prep and leave it in the fridge for a week or so. (Not a good idea) I’m hoping I can do meal prep and freeze it.<br><br>I’m looking for a way to do meal prep and only have to do it once every 1 month or so. Any tips and advice (or a meal prep guide) would be much appreciated.<br><br>Edit: I don’t have time to meal prep everyday. My work hours are from 5am to 8pm most of the time.
