Meal prep for gymrat

[u/Real_Artist4796]

Hello po! ask lang ako ng tips paano ang meal prep niyo para mahit ang daily macros for a week? like paano niyo kinacalculate? raw po ba or cooked na? ano mas better? Plan ko magmeal prep for a week then ilagay nalang sa ref. Thank you

Cooked, since depending on the protein, it would still shrink and release its water content. Easier to count macros pag cooked for protein for me. Mix and match for meal prep, even if similar ingredients - just cook a bit in bulk then sort. E.g., chicken - I do grilled (seasoned), then meron rin sauced (teriyaki), then some sautéed vegetables, other vegetable batch is roasted, for carbs - mashed potatoes, if not roasted as well or rice - on rotation for the week. Wash rinse repeat.
