How do you manage your meals for the week? I signed up for one of those premium, pre-made healthy meal delivery services. The food is honestly fantastic and saves me hours of cooking, but it’s so expensive. It is an incredible luxury for a busy professional, but the price tag is making me wonder if I should just swallow my pride and go back to Sunday batch-cooking.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. A friend gifted me two weeks worth of Factor meals and I really enjoyed them but they are pretty expensive. Anyone know of less costly options that stop have tasty and healthy meals?

I think making things less complicated is key. I work from home but usually have the same breakfast during the work week. I also do similar lunches and don’t “batch prep” but lunch takes me like 2 mins to make. Dinner is what changes. If you pre plan for the week and have everything on hand for lunch / breakfast and then pre plan what dinner will be you should be good. You can also make dinners that last for 2 nights. Weekend planning and night prep is key to make your days easier. Thaw or pre-cook proteins, pre-chop veggies if needed so you can throw in the pan or air fryer.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
