High Protein Meal Prep for Busy Dads: The Sunday Setup
The hardest part of eating well is the weekday rush. One hour on Sunday fixes most of it. Here's the simple system and the tools that make it fast.
The system
- Pick two proteins (chicken thighs, ground turkey, eggs, or beans).
- Pick two carbs (rice, potatoes, oats).
- Roast a tray of vegetables.
- Portion into containers for lunches.
- Keep a shake option for busy mornings.
Build each plate with a protein, a carb, and a vegetable.
