I cook enough for 6-8 weeks at a time. It takes time to do this but totally worth it to get ahead.

I'll use Winston for an example. His ingredients are cooked beef, canned sweet peas, a veggie mix, and corn oil.

I cook up ground beef and put it aside in a big bowl. While that's cooking, I open up cans of peas and drain them and put in a big bowl.
I put corn oil into about 1/2 cup Pyrex glass container so that later it is easy to measure my oil rather than pouring the big bottle.
I chop up fresh raw carrots, canned drained green beans, raw fresh broccoli, raw bell peppers (red yellow and orange), and zucchini.

So everything is out on the counter. I use 1/2 cup measuring cups for everything except the veggies and oil where I use teaspoons.

I have a box of snack size ziplock bags. I weigh out three of them on my scale and zero it out. Then I scoop in the beef into each one. So he gets about 20g of beef so I add 20g to the first one, then I go to 40g on the second, then 60g. Then I zero it again. Add peas in the same manner. Zero it a third time, add veggies. I usually do two diff kinds per bag. Then I set them all aside. When I have about 14 bags (or a weeks worth), I add the corn oil to all the bags and seal them.

I always refrigerate overnight then bag a weeks worth in a larger freezer ziplock bag. I take out a few days at a time and leave in fridge. I warm them up when ready and add the BAlance it. I add a fish oil capsule at the very end once a day.

I use a jewelers scale that measures 10ths of grams. The one I have is the weigh max 1000. I weigh everything, including balance it. WeighMax 1000 Digital Bench Scale 1000 x 0.1 gram:Amazon:Toys & Games


Hope this helps
