Vent: That 'meal prep in 2 hours' advice is a straight up lie

Tbh it took me 5 hours my first Sunday trying to prep breakfast, lunch, and snacks for 5 days. Between chopping veggies, cooking chicken, and portioning everything out, I was in the kitchen until 9pm. Has anyone else found this actually takes way longer than people claim?

Yeah that first meal prep Sunday is brutal, I barely made it through mine too.

Why you trying to do 5 days at once your first time? That's like rebuilding an engine without ever changing the oil. Stick to 3 days max and pick simpler stuff like sheet pan chicken and rice. I can hammer out 3 days of lunches in 90 minutes easy if I'm not dicking around with 15 different ingredients. Stop trying to be a meal prep influencer and keep it basic.

Man people get so caught up in the "right way" to do stuff they miss the whole point of just starting small and building from there. It's like everyone wants to be a professional on day one instead of just being a person who's learning.
