Really need to start meal prepping

I am the kind of person who will just find something quick and easy to eat if I don't have food prepared....which has been getting me into trouble lately with my diet/way of eating.
I really need to get into meal prepping.
I just don't really know what to prep. I do a mostly carnivore diet (meats/animal products) so don't have veggies or things like that to add.
I will be making more jerky this weekend, and maybe I will cook some bacon. I guess I could cook up some chicken in the crock pot to have through out the week.
What would you be cooking if you were meal prepping?

Some ground beef cooked can last in the frig for several days. Same with most other meat preps. Meat prep might be a good habit to get into on the weekends.

@MommyOfEli2013 .......I used to double recipes and put half in the freezer for another time.

I was thinking to do the prep on Saturdays probably....but that is good to know! I know I could put what won't be eaten the first few days in freezer

Chicken does seem like a great idea...And I got a bigger crock pot so I can cook a bigger amount at once :)

@MommyOfEli2013 Crock pots are a great way to cook anything as well.

@CarolDM I think it will be great for meal prepping. I want to make some barbecue chicken in it soon.

I think it would help you a lot to take one day each week and prep.

@MommyOfEli2013 Whatever is usually your least busy day. Since you have been eating mostly meat it is just a matter of getting it cooked and stored.

I think it would too, and I can just freeze the prepared foods that won't be eaten in the first 2 days or so. Just need to pick out a day I guess! I will probably work on it this Saturday for some things.

@wolfgirl569 Well every other Saturday is usually a day I am home all day, so that is probably the best chance. And that is true since I do mostly a carnivore kind of diet, lol.

I am glad I am not the only picky eater here! I only like apples but they are not allowed on my diet. I might have blueberries but only in a smoothie with spinach. I might just go as far as precooking a whole package of bacon and stuff like that at once lol & maybe meal plan...but not worry about prepping.

I do agree it is much easier for those who are not picky to find things for meal prepping. You have given me some ideas though :) Hard boiled eggs, chicken, and my bean-less chili.

Today I used to eat beans for lunch, and tonight I ate vegetables.

@Nevena83 Oh okay, just your meals didn't sound like they had meat so I wondered. That's cool though :)
