90-minute meal prep every Sunday. 2:00 PM start, 3:30 PM done. 10 containers = entire week. No thinking, no temptations, just results.

⏱️ THE 90-MINUTE BREAKDOWN:

**FIRST 30 MINUTES (Cooking Setup):**
1. Start rice cooker (cook ALL rice for week)
2. Oven to 400°F
3. Season all chicken breasts (salt, pepper, garlic)
4. Chicken in oven (25 min timer)
5. Sweet potatoes in microwave (5-7 min each)

**SECOND 30 MINUTES (Proteins + Prep):**
1. Brown all ground beef in pan
2. Season with taco seasoning (or your choice)
3. Hard boil 10 eggs (set timer)
4. Chop vegetables while beef cooks

**FINAL 30 MINUTES (Portioning):**
1. Portion everything into containers
2. 5 lunch containers (protein + carbs + veg)
3. 5 dinner containers (protein + carbs + veg)
4. Snacks portioned (eggs, yogurt)

**DONE.** Week of meals ready. No extra decisions. No temptations. Follow your diet, make gains.

📦 THE CONTAINER SYSTEM:

**You Need:**
- 10 glass containers total
- 5 for lunch (Mon-Fri)
- 5 for dinner (Mon-Fri)

**Each Container Contains:**
- 1 palm protein (chicken or beef)
- 2 cupped hands carbs (rice or sweet potato)
- 1 fist vegetables (broccoli or peppers)

**Organization:**
- Stack in fridge by day
- Monday stack, Tuesday stack, etc.
- Grab container, heat 2 min, eat

**Why Glass Containers?**
- Microwave safe
- Dishwasher safe
- Last forever (not plastic trash)
- See food inside (know what's for lunch)

🎯 WHY THIS WORKS:

**No Decision Fatigue:**
- Monday-Friday = grab container, heat, eat
- Zero thinking about "what should I eat?"
- No temptation to order takeout ($15 saved per meal)

**Consistency = Results:**
- Perfect macros every meal
- No skipped meals
- No junk food defaults
- 5 days = 10 meals = 80% of week controlled

**Time Saved:**
- 90 min Sunday vs 2+ hours daily cooking
- 90 min investment = 10+ hours saved
- Worth it? Always.

**Money Saved:**
- $60-80 groceries vs $150-200 eating out for 10 meals
- $70-120 saved per week
- $280-480 saved per month

💡 PRO TIPS:

**Multitask Everything:**
- Rice cooker + oven + microwave = all running simultaneously
- Brown beef while eggs boil
- Chop vegetables while chicken cooks
- Never standing idle

**Sunday 2 PM Start = Strategic:**
- Had lunch already (not hungry/tempted)
- Still have energy (not evening exhausted)
- Done by 3:30 PM (rest of Sunday free)

**Batch Everything:**
- Don't cook 1 chicken breast, cook 10
- Don't make 1 cup rice, make 7+ cups
- Efficiency through volume

**Weekend Flexibility:**
- Sat-Sun = eat out, cook fresh, whatever
- Mon-Fri = containers (discipline)
- 80/20 rule: 10 prepped meals, 4 flexible meals

🔄 VARIATIONS:

**Don't Like Chicken?**
- Replace with: Turkey breast, pork chops, salmon
- Same process, same timing

**Don't Like Beef?**
- Replace with: Ground turkey, more chicken, fish
- Same seasoning, same cooking

**Vegetarian?**

- Increase rice portions

**Need Less (Smaller/Cutting)?**
- Smaller containers
- Same protein, reduce carbs by 1 cupped hand
- Keep vegetables high
