Meal prep that works for me

I've always been somewhat disappointed in myself for not having "figured out" meal prep. "You're 33 years old", my inner critic will say. "Meal prep isn't complicated. There are a million resources available online. You've had years to learn and iterate. How haven't you figured it out by now?" Well, I finally may have something that works.

And to continue that theme, on a day-to-day basis, I really don't want to expend effort on cooking. I want to just pop something into the microwave and be shoving food down my face within five minutes. Things li
