meal-prep

Define a complete preparation unit that fits the available time and kitchen, with a simpler alternative when even that task is not worthwhile.

Connect lunch assembly to actual eating plans, transport and appropriate cold storage so the packed meal is usable when the workday or school day arrives.

Choose a realistic batch size, check equipment and cold-storage capacity, and assign portions to specific uses before cooking more food than usual.

Use a limited preparation window to remove one predictable weekday obstacle, with enough time to finish handling and storage properly.
