Meal prep becomes easier to enjoy when you leave yourself a few choices. Instead of sealing five identical boxes on Sunday, prepare a modest set of components that can combine in different ways. Think about how many meals you will actually eat before deciding how much to cook.

Pick a grain or another base, a cooked protein or bean, and a couple of vegetables. Choose ingredients you already like rather than treating lunch as a project in self-improvement. A simple base that works hot or cold gives you more flexibility.
