For years I was a software engineer, and I ate like one. Meal deals at lunch, a takeaway most nights, telling myself it was fine because I was busy. When I finally tried to sort it out, the "healthy" ready meals were no better. The ingredient list was longer than the recipe, and there were preservatives in stuff that's meant to be fresh. So I started making my own. High protein, nothing out of a packet, a few days' worth at a time. It worked. And what actually made the difference was the food I ate during the week. Not the gym, not the weekend.
The thing is, nobody was selling that. Most meal prep turns up once a week, so it has to last seven days in your fridge. That's why it's full of preservatives, and why there's always that sad box at the back by Friday. We do it the other way round. It's delivered twice a week and nothing is meant to last more than three days. If it goes off after that, good. That's how you know it was real in the first place. It's the same food I eat myself, and honestly I'd rather feed you properly than sell you a diet.
