    As someone who is new to meal prep and have very little culinary skill, your channel is honestly a gift man. Ive done a few of your recipies and several oat bakes from the channel. Everything has turned out perfect and tasty. Definitely buying a cookbook to support you. Keep it up

      It's legitimately comical how basic things are never taught, because the people that are capable of teaching them are too busy doing those things.
      It's why teaching is a profession in of itself.

    Seriously man. These videos are well done. I am not sure if you meant to construct them like this but they're spot on.
    1) Giving tips about cooking things to save time
    2) Different options for cooking hardware (e.g. air fryer)
    3) Tips on how portioning doesn't matter week to week
    4) EVERYTHING IN GRAMS
    5) How to buy produce at the grocery store. If something isn't fresh, get something else.
    6) How to reheat AND eat the dish?? Never seen any youtuber (for meal prep) do this before. It's actually so important.
    These top down shots are good but I'm glad you include different shots. Please don't go the "tasty" route and be a top down everything.
    Love the videos man. Keep it up.
    Wish I could make content this great.

    Tried this meal for my toddler and his mom, who are both picky eaters. I grew up in an on-off vegetarian/pescetarian household (I still am pescatarian) so I basically cook meat dishes halfway blind, so to speak. Worked for both! For anyone who has picky toddlers, mixing the cabbage with the beef worked for me (if your toddler is skeptical of anything that looks kind of like a leaf or a tree). And the "Big Mac" sauce (I used vegan mayo and coconut yogurt so I could eat it too) can also be used for other things. I chopped up some raw carrots and had my son use it as a dipping sauce, and he gobbled it up.

      Also, I would maybe add kimchi myself to this instead of cabbage as I am sure that would microwave well and is more beneficial for the gut. But that’s just me. This is the working out mans Big Mac, who woulda thought?

    Something that will be a little more time but a way to keep the crunch of those potatoes is to pre boil your potatoes in water with baking powder (10 min in the microwave work remove the water then cool) Brown them off in the oven or air fryer but get them as brown as you can then let them completely cool before construction the bowls add a paper towel in storage to absorb any condensation in the containers. I know this sounds odd but trust me it will keep more crunch then you think.

    Great video! Tip on the potatoes for others: -cut them a little bigger and boil with salted water and a little bit of baking soda them until just fork tender
    -strain them and let the steam go off for about 5-10 minutes.
    -toss them in a boil plain just enough to break up the outside edges but the main body is still intact
    -coat in olive oil and bake at 350f for at least 20 minutes, however you can bake them longer if you like them crispier.
    Internet Shaquille and Ethan Chlebowski both have more indepth videos on what I said! Trust me these potatoes are great, and although I have microwaved them before, I've left them on the counter until cold and they were still crispy.

    The end of the real is straight FACTS, weighing your prep before is always the same outcome when you divide it and it doesn’t make sense to waste time with it and the potato’s. I watch a lot of body builders/strong men that prep and it’s great. At the same time I’M not training to be a strong man or an Olympian it just to take tips in and different recipes, other people try to mimic that and it just leads to unrealistic expectations lol

    Maybe I didn’t use enough potatoes or cabbage, and I did use beyond beef instead of ground beef, but I struggled to make 4 servings let alone 5 servings. Either way thanks for the recipe, hopefully my family enjoys it!
