How long does meal prepped food last?

Cooked chicken, beef, and vegetables last 4-5 days in the fridge. Fish should be eaten within 2 days. When in doubt, smell it—if it smells off, toss it.

Can I freeze meal prepped food?

Absolutely! Most meals freeze well for 2-3 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before eating.

What if I get bored eating the same thing?

Change your seasonings and sauces. The same chicken and rice tastes completely different with BBQ sauce vs. teriyaki vs. buffalo sauce.

Do I need to count calories?

Not necessarily. Start with portion control using your hand as a guide. If you're not seeing results after 4 weeks, then consider tracking more closely.

Can meal prep help me lose weight?

Yes! Meal prep naturally controls portions and eliminates impulsive food choices. Combined with the strategies in The Over-40 Body Reset , it's a powerful weight loss tool.
