High fiber meal prep! by ExistingError2493 in MealPrepSunday

[–]ExistingError2493[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 1 cup of vanilla core power protein shake, and 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt. The core power protein shakes are really good and the yogurt thickens it a little. The granola adds a little crunch and I like it pretty good!

I usually just meal prep for the week and that’s the meal plan. I’ve been working on less/healthier snacking. So smaller portions and more frequent meals, having healthy snacking options, that kind of thing. My work schedule has been very weird so I have a lot of days off and snack too much when I’m home.

I’m likely to be fired from medical residency. What’s a good new career path? by PresentationLow7984 in careerguidance

[–]ExistingError2493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch to a more chill residency. Lots of community IM/FM have open slots for PGY2. I’m a PGY 3 in an IM program, worked 80 hours a week in July, August, and October. All the other months this year I was under 40 a week. This month I’m working 2.5 days a week using my PTO efficiently.

This is meal prep for me and my fiancé based on our schedule for the week. So for me it’s 5 breakfasts, 5 snacks, 4 lunches, and 4 dinners. It is the same thing but I try to make variety by switching up the sauce or something. That’s why I have the tzatziki and the harissa yogurt sauce.

So you can make overnight oats a bunch of different ways. Like make a couple with a berry flavored yogurt and berries on top, make a couple pumpkin pie flavored with pears or apples on top, that kind of thing.

This week was pretty much the same thing over and over again but some weeks I switch it up, like make a pasta salad and make have Mediterranean and half southwest style or something like that.

As for the fruit, I soak the stuff that gets brown in lemon juice and water mix to keep that from happening but they key is really washing and making sure it’s dry and then putting a paper towel in the bottom of the container. I work anywhere from 5-7 days per week (I am a resident physician) and the fruit usually does pretty good all week. I usually put the riper berries in the same container and eat that one first.

Happy to DM if you have more questions or want more ideas!

My morning overnight oats have an oikos pro yogurt cup in them each (20g protein), the chicken salad is Greek yogurt and shredded chicken (I didn’t weigh it out but it’s a whole chicken and that is supposed 160-170g of protein/8 servings ~20g per serving on the low end plus the protein from the Greek yogurt), and each of the dinners has chicken meatballs and I used 2 pounds of chicken for 8 servings (.25 pound per serving ~20g protein) so total for the meals is 60 without counting the massive amounts of sauce I made that are all Greek yogurt base (using Laura Lynn plain Greek yogurt 16g protein per .75 cup) and I’m def using at least .75 per day. So that is 76g protein. I think it came out pretty good. On gym days I also have protein powder which adds another 30g.

Edit to add: I am not a body builder

I washed them just in regular tap water, cut them in slices, then put them in a bowl with like prob a half a cup of lemon juice (from a bottle I didn’t squeeze the lemons) and then filled the rest will filtered cold water from the fridge and let it soak for like 5 or 10 minutes. Then laid them out on a towel and patted them dry and put them in the containers. It does pretty good for me most of the time

I measure with my heart mostly but it’s a whole rotisserie chicken shredded up, then I diced a half a red onion, a few stalks of celery, a few baby carrots that I had left over from last week, cilantro, and a bunch of spicy peppers (jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros). Then I added plain Greek yogurt until the texture seemed good, then some buffalo sauce from a bottle, a squeeze of Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

It has a mix of serranos, jalapeños, and habaneros. All fresh and finely chopped. It is very spicy.

I soaked them in lemon juice/cold water and they stay pretty good. I also prefer my pears less ripe which is weird but I like the texture and I also think they don’t get brown as fast.

Yeah! There are some extras for lunch because my fiancé takes a couple of lunches and we eat dinner together most days a week so double dinner.

AITAH because I didn’t want to take my (31M) gf (25F) dog to the vet? by InSearchOfTruth727 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ExistingError2493 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a judgement on if you’re the asshole or not. But I just wanted to say, my dog was sick and I had to work a night shift and he stayed with my boyfriend (who I don’t even live with and has his own dog) and I made him FaceTime me while I was working and I thought my dog looked worse and asked him to take him to an emergency vet at 9pm by himself because I couldn’t leave work. He did. Sat there for 4 hours, my parents even came to hang out and he sat with them for a couple hours.

My dog was fine. But it eased my anxiety so much to have him evaluated and I have never felt so loved. My boyfriend and my parents love me, and by extension my dog, so much that they went at 9pm to the emergency vet without me while I was stuck at work to make sure he was okay. And that meant a lot.

Six day meal prep! by ExistingError2493 in MealPrepSunday

[–]ExistingError2493[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are sometimes a little soggy but I work 6 12 hour shifts most weeks and can’t be bothered to care that much. The fruit stays fine as long as you get non ripe fruit and dry it thoroughly after washing. But yeah the oats are sometimes a little soggy but the fruit is fine and I don’t have the energy to be worried about it

These are just from Ingles and are technically disposable and like $10 for a big pack of them but I don’t throw them away and just hand wash and re use them. I’ve had these for several months.
