nice. meal prep so you dont have to think about meals at all you just know what you have available to you helps alot. makes it alot easier to be like oh i have this one meal till dinner so ill wait an extra hour to make sure i dont get hungry early etc etc. its also much easier to calorie count when you do things ahead of time. if your choosing what your going to eat moments before you choices are going to be worse i find.
Even though i knew this one, I want to show my appreciation for your description of the tomato sauce! It's super helpful for us following along from across the pond
@@TheMealPrepManual I thought you held a fork in an odd way to get people to comment on the video. 😂👍 it pushes the algorithm so you get recommended more.
I do a lot of meal prep and use glass storage containers to store my food. I generally pull the food out a day early and put it in the fridge to thaw first but if I have to microwave straight from the freezer I microwave it on 40%. In fact, I microwave everything at 40% regardless whether it is frozen. Yes, it does take about twice as long, but the end result is soooo much better. Less hot spots, no rubbery or burnt pieces, etc. In any case, microwaving at the lower power setting has never been a problem for my glass containers.
I really dig your style of videos. It’s incredibly refreshing to watch people on youtube that give zero fucks about the comments and what others expect of them and just do what they feel like. Your presentation and attitude is excellent. This compliment should be taken with some amount of consideration, as I often getting pulled into HR at work for being a blunt asshat. Also your fork handling and water drinking bowl is probably the wave of the future. I see no downsides to your methods.
Can't wait to try this! I started using Josh's recipes in august and have gone from 305 pounds to 270 (plus actually exercising). His meals have been a god send to manage hunger and hit my macros! Plus getting me to eat my veggies.
How do you not have 1M subs, this is illegal. Man you're saving my life with this! I should be able to save a lot of money by preparing well in advance. Going to give my first meal prep week a go this Sunday. Thank you!
Thanks for adding in the freezer meal demo. I don't mind the same meal for a few days in a row, but I've been wanting to start prepping more freezer meals to create some variety based on when things are in season/sales/etc. Keep up the good work!
I know its a small thing that you probably just do automatically Josh but that you add both impercal and metrical measurements is awesome. Greetings from Sweden!
Man im so glad I found this your page. your Reciepes have helped me bulk up slowly and is now helping me lean back down for my first powerlifiting comp!
Well made video with great attention to detail without over explaining, I also hate cutting fat out of chicken so I might substitute chicken breast over thighs for this recipe, as I used chicken thighs for the first time recently when my grocery store was sold out of chicken breast and I was extremely annoyed by how much time I spent trying to remove fat and it was impossible to get it all.
Honestly, came across your Buffalo chicken rice bowl meal prep and honestly went on a bit of a tangent watching your videos definitely gonna be making multiple of these for my upcoming meal preps thank you!
Down 45 lbs since my peak via restricting calories to 1500 a day. It took over a year to lose the first 25 as I wasn’t fully consistent. I started meal prepping your meals and am down another 20 in under 3 months as I’m now very consistent with staying under 1500. Pace of weight loss accelerated dramatically. Another 20 to go. This dish in particular is great because it tastes good and is super filling while being low calorie. I put portions in the freezer so it’s easier than ordering garbage off UberEats It’s crazy how much food you get for the calories. When I see pizza or a tiny Starbucks breakfast sandwich I’m like damn that’s so much less food than these meal prep meals but similar calories. Pro tip: I have started to take half servings of these meals and put them as filling for a quesadilla. I use 170 cal tortilla plus 100 cals of cheese. Works great with this recipe and the Teriyaki beef recipe. Life changing stuff - thanks Josh
Love these weight loss prep meals as I am an older female getting close to menopause and really need high protein but low calorie. Also my 18 year old daughter is also adjusting to weight changes as eating the same foods as she ate when in high school is not going to work for a slower metabolism. Thank you!!!
Hey Josh thanks for posting these videos, appreciate it Suggestion: I'm a complete beginner, and I figure that are other people like me. In line with your previous video on becoming a meal prepper, maybe you should do a series or have a playlist of "easy" things us beginners can start with. Appreciate the content as always!
I made this for my meal prep this week and it's perfectly filling and really good! I cut the rice in half just because I need to limit my carbs, but the flavor on the chicken is super tasty. I'll probably top it off with the lemon zest for a stronger lemon hit next time. What I appreciate most about these recipes is that flavor matters as much as hitting macros. Not a single recipe has been a dud and I've made about 10-12 of them so far from oatmeal bakes to rice bowls to pancake bites... Keep up the good work Josh!
I used this instead of the individual spices and it was very flavorful. Riega Gluten-Free Zesty Lime Chicken Bowl Seasoning Mix, 1 Oz One packet in the marinade and one packet in the veggies/tomato sauce.
If you ever end up scorching stuff onto a pan, if you spray it down with oven cleaner and then cover that in plastic wrap, you can just take the plastic off after about 30-60 min and pretty much rinse off the problem.
thx for telling me about the european version of the tomato sause, alot of times i struggle to find the right things from american recipes and i chose wrong and it dosent come out good.
I always make sure to use the same fork method you use with whatever recipe I decide to make, makes for a good finger dexterity workout half the time lol.
I sold my wife in this being a less precious, deconstructed stuffed bell pepper and I think she bought it. Probably needed to actually pay attention to your ingredient measurements, but otherwise turned out very well! Might make a side batch of the Greek yogurt marinade just to add some freshness and moisture back into the rice post-microwave next time
Just got recommended your channel, it’s exactly what I look for in a cooking show! Very good work! If you’re open to suggestions hashbrown Pattys in the air fryer with be lit, I hate waking up early to prep hash brown in the morning
Just in case you are vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken with beans in combination with 1 ort 2 other vegetables. Black beans and corn, lentils and mushrooms, bean sprouts and radish, whatever!
In germany "chili powder" usually means pure dried ground chili. In US recipes they often seem to mean a chili powder mix with other spices. What the chili powder you're using in this recipe?
Microwaves don't penetrate very deeply which is why they cook so unevenly (well, that's one of the reasons), so stirring often is required, as they actually just cook the surface and heat has to go towards the middle as usual.
@@pubcollize Yes obviously, not the point and not why I said it. It's a common misconception that microwaves penetrate the foot all the way through. They don't.
I tried Josh’s way of holding the fork while watching the Dallas Cowboys. I don’t know which was more awkward, but holding the fork that way is kinda cool. Im gonna keep doing it. 😳😉😁
Hey Josh, gonna give this recipe a try this weekend, but wondering if I could just straight up sub lime juice for the lemon... more of a lime-chili flavor guy than a lemon-chili
Thanks, Josh. Admire your channel. I don't know why but we don't touch to any food with aluminum foil in Turkey. Is it safe to bake with aluminum foil? Best!
Do you think it might be a decent idea to sub cabbage with fresh spinach leaves in an equally weighted quantity? I accidentally got a cole slaw kit that has dressing pre-mixed in
Are these 24 oz containers? I am going to try some of these. We are elderly and don’t eat like you young people. We are trying to eat more. LOL. It is also very easy. I can freeze some for After. ❤
Hi June, these are 28oz containers. I personally don’t freeze meals but lots of people who use the recipes do freeze them. I just think the quality is better keeping it in the fridge
I've been doing your recipes and since June 2022 I've dropped 90lbs. Meal prepping makes it easy to keep my daily caloric goals.
congrats!
That’s awesome! Keep it up and never lose focus!
That is amazing, so glad to hear that you’ve found success 😎
That so dope, keep that up you absolute beast!!

Josh revealed the true key of weight loss: holding your fork like you’ve smashed your index finger in the oven.
I will never get tired of the expert level fork trolling by Josh
Is that what that was? 😂
@@Ktb_Contract0r The way he was holding the fork I suppose lol
I had to go get a fork to try it
That's just how I hold it
@@TheMealPrepManual ok so for the record, you are the only person on the planet who holds it like that. In case you wonder why we comment on it.
Can't wait to try this! More low calorie high volume meal preps please.
Will do
Even though i knew this one, I want to show my appreciation for your description of the tomato sauce! It's super helpful for us following along from across the pond
Yeah, Passata is great for this sort of thing.
Also wanted to say this, thank you my man saved me ruining it with tomato ketchup 😂
#Respect Josh. You held the fork in a odd way to get the comments and algorithm going. I respect the hustle. Keep it up and thanks for the recipe.

Check out Felu-Fit By Cooking he's in Stuttgart and uses both measurements.

I'm glad there's commentary, been running into too many music only recipe tutorials.
Man im so glad I found this your page. your Reciepes have helped me bulk up slowly and is now helping me lean back down for my first powerlifiting comp!
Just tried this recipe. And it tastes superb. Took a bit long as I'm new to meal prep, but it came out perfect in the end.
I just made this dish for my work week and my wife has already eaten one of my portions! This is the best meal yet!
I'm so confused about the fork holding style 😹😹😹 wtf josh haha .. Great video as always and thanks for explaining the tomato sauce alternatives 🙌🙌
I cringe!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one! Trying the recipe today though
Haha yeah, wasn't sure if he was messing about or not lol.
just a way to get more comments lmao. genius
Yes, please and thank you, more of these lower calorie recipes! 🤩
Well made video with great attention to detail without over explaining, I also hate cutting fat out of chicken so I might substitute chicken breast over thighs for this recipe, as I used chicken thighs for the first time recently when my grocery store was sold out of chicken breast and I was extremely annoyed by how much time I spent trying to remove fat and it was impossible to get it all.
I have made this twice now. Easily one of my favourite meal prep meals. I eat them for lunch at work, and it always is refreshingly good.
Thank you, glad you like it 😎
Made 3 of your dishes today for a whole week, this recipe is best of them, love how much volume you get with low calories. Thank you very much

Thank you 😋
I'm astounded by the amount of volume for so little rice. I'll have to do this next week.
Josh these rice bowls are amazing. Keep them coming!

One packet in the marinade and one packet in the veggies/tomato sauce.
Made this today and it was FANTASTIC! The yogurt marinade is a game changer. I don’t think I’ll cook chicken again without Greek yogurt.
Love your videos mate! Thanks for taking time to create them
Glad you like them 😎
I'm loving the evolution in the way you hold your fork haha

Thanks for sharing, these are easy to fix and glad you went over the freezing/reheating of the meal.
thx for telling me about the european version of the tomato sause, alot of times i struggle to find the right things from american recipes and i chose wrong and it dosent come out good.
I'm on my last spicy adobe chicken and peppers meal prep container, cant wait to try this for dinner!
that’s what i’m making tomorrow for my weeks lunches 😁
I always make sure to use the same fork method you use with whatever recipe I decide to make, makes for a good finger dexterity workout half the time lol.
heading to the kitchen to try this now. Cheers for the recipe mate.
made this tonight and it tastes delicious!! Definitely making this again
Great to hear!
Once again simple and delicious. I love your channel
Thank you so much 😃
you're helping me fear portioned meals a lot less. i struggle with it still but you give me hope
Thank you Josh!!! I am going to use this. I am so thankful for the time and effort you put, not just in the food here, but the VIDEO itself!
2:56
You can know that chilis is not very hot because of Josh eating a little bit of it sticked to finger. Love it.
definitely going to give this one a try, thanks
Props for adding the heads-up for non-US people
The chicken recipe alone is worth the like. ITS SO DAMN GOOD. I couldnt stop picking at it
I love how strong forward you are
SUBSCRIBED! Lol I’m glad I found your page during my fitness journey. Do you think you could do a shrimp & rice type meal prep video?
I sold my wife in this being a less precious, deconstructed stuffed bell pepper and I think she bought it. Probably needed to actually pay attention to your ingredient measurements, but otherwise turned out very well! Might make a side batch of the Greek yogurt marinade just to add some freshness and moisture back into the rice post-microwave next time
Looks wonderful, going to try next week! More like these!
If you have room for one I highly recommend a chest freezer. They're incredibly energy efficient for how much freezer space they provide.
Just got recommended your channel, it’s exactly what I look for in a cooking show! Very good work! If you’re open to suggestions hashbrown Pattys in the air fryer with be lit, I hate waking up early to prep hash brown in the morning
more weight loss recipes, please! :-) used a lot of yours and need some more ideas!
That fork grip is killing me! I know you’re doing it on purpose to mess with us.
Only a genius like yourself would hold a fork like that. Thanks for the recipe!
This looks really good. I just got done prepping for the week to come, but I'm definitely going to do this for next week.
Just in time for my morning run on the treadmill. Thanks Joshy!
Just in case you are vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken with beans in combination with 1 ort 2 other vegetables. Black beans and corn, lentils and mushrooms, bean sprouts and radish, whatever!
This was really really good and really filling. Cheers Josh
Man, this is growing to be my favorite meal prep channel, love your meals and explanations! I've really been meaning to optimize my meal prepping.
made this one, did a accidently make too much rice so got 8 contienrs of food but this was super good and teasy thank you
This looks awesome and ez. Next on my list!
I made this last week and I it was so delicious!
I'm so excited to cook this one next week 😋
Hell yeah it’s Sunday! New meeeeal!
In germany "chili powder" usually means pure dried ground chili. In US recipes they often seem to mean a chili powder mix with other spices. What the chili powder you're using in this recipe?

What size containers should I get? I'm going to start meal prepping to help lose the 20lb I put on put on giving up smoking.
My bro is really holding his fork like Voldemort. 🤣 I really appreciate your videos though Josh. Keep up the good work man.
Restaurant Staff: "How would you like to eat your meal?"

Hey Josh, gonna give this recipe a try this weekend, but wondering if I could just straight up sub lime juice for the lemon... more of a lime-chili flavor guy than a lemon-chili
I'm thinking about This too. Chili lime is more common, I'll try it both ways I think. Lime first.
Made this it's soooo good . Used lime juice instead of the lemon . I will be making it agin
glad you enjoyed it 😎
Oh man... The way you have to grab the fork... wuauuuu ultra rare.
It looks amazing! What other ways do you like to use chili powder?
Thanks, Josh. Admire your channel. I don't know why but we don't touch to any food with aluminum foil in Turkey. Is it safe to bake with aluminum foil? Best!
Just finised meal prep, guess i'll try this next time
Could you do more high calorie meals prep videos for bulking?
Are there any high calorie foods for bulking on the way? Love your videos man
This came out great for me
Do you think it might be a decent idea to sub cabbage with fresh spinach leaves in an equally weighted quantity? I accidentally got a cole slaw kit that has dressing pre-mixed in
Hey josh. Id like to know how should non-oven-owners cook their chicken? Can it be cooked on the stove?
Why didnt add tomato seeds along with tomato sause to pan?
So, how do you warm them up? And how long does these types of food lasts?
Joshy Fork-Holds
plz tell us where you buy your food containers with lids
You tell em Josh!
Holy cow that looks delicious

Can report that a wok worked fine 😊
