Cooking At Home To Eat In Work

    I've noticed a number of people who I know that go to the gym cook at home and then eat in work. I was just looking for advice on this.

    For example, should I just cook the food as normal and then put it into a sealable container and then its just a matter of reheating the next day?

    Also, where can I get good value meat etc. that isn't breaded?

    I would be looking at mainly eating chicken and or steak with brown rice/small potatoes.

    What I did was mix rice and chicken together then keep them in a flask.

    keeps it warm and tastes fine.

    I decided to this a while ago.
    I bought a small upright freezer.
    I do a big cook every weekend (just one meal in a batch big enough for 5-7 meals), and pop it in the freezer, Initially I cooked a few smaller batches for variety, by now i've about 7 weeks worth of food there so never the same stuff twice in a row. I never feel up to cooking for some reason after work during weekdays, but really enjoy it at weekends, dunno why that is, suppose it because I like to take my time cooking.

    I assume since you mention reheating that there is a microwave in work?, if so, would recommend this .
    Now and again I do cook during the week - mainly chicken fillets tbh that I use as work snack food, but other times if i do cook I'l make enough for two meals and bring the second into work in a plastic container the next day and its grand reheated.

    Chances whatever you cook yourself is going to be 100% better for you than the pre-packaged or canteen crap that you would have to pay inflated prices for otherwise.
