Thought I could meal prep in 2 hours flat. Took me 5.
I always watched those Instagram videos. Chop veggies, cook rice, portion out chicken. Done in 60 minutes they claim. Tried it last Sunday. My kitchen looked like a bomb went off. Three batches of rice burned because I was still cutting onions. Cleanup took forever too. Ended up with 8 meals instead of the 14 I wanted. Anyone else find meal prep takes way longer than influencers say?

Did you have all your ingredients prepped before you started? I had a buddy who tried the same thing. He thought he could just wing it like the videos. @ivan_perez you might get a kick out of this. He spent three hours just washing and chopping veggies because he didn't realize they show you already cut stuff in the videos. Then his rice cooker overflowed and made a mess on the counter. By the time he got to the chicken he was already exhausted and just threw it in a pan. He ended up with like three decent meals and a fridge full of soggy vegetables. Those influencers definitely skip over the real time sinks.
