      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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    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
