Q: Where do you get the black containers?
A: Click here to buy the same containers from amazon.
Q: Do you get bored of eating the same thing every day?
A: No at all! I switch it up on a weekly basis and choose my healthy favorites that I don’t mind eating often. I also add different seasonings to keep things interesting (check out the 21 Day Fix & 21 Day Fix EXTREME eating plans for seasoning recipes).
Q: Do you pre-cook all your food at the beginning of the week or do you just cut it up and package it? Does the food stay fresh all week?
A: I personally like to pre-cook all my food! I keep it properly refrigerated and find that it stays fresh up to 5 days. If you prefer, you can totally freeze the last 2 days or cook 2-3 days at a time.
Q: Can you put any of these meals in the freezer?
A: I personally don’t but I know people who do but just remember to thaw it in time.
Q: So lost…use the colored containers and dump into the larger ones?
A: The colored containers are from 21 Day Fix/21 Day Fix EXTREME. I use it to help me measure out the proportions of all my food then put it into my black chefland containers for organization and mobility reasons.

These meals look fabulous but I have one question. Are the Shakeology gluten free?
That looks amazing! I keep meaning to try doing this for a week and seeing how it goes. How long does it take you to prep?
I love you. Thank you so much! I’ve been seriously considering trying the 21 Day Fix because my main issue is convenience. Even though I want to eat better and actually do buy fruit and veggies and bags and bags of salad, I could never stick to clean eating for long because it wasn’t convenient. Working 50+ hours a week downtown Chicago does not make it easy when you’re surrounded by fast food chains to go grab something quick before running to another meeting. But you just took all the guesswork out of it for me. You even give grocery lists and recipes. I LOVE YOU. I wish hugs were able to be given through the internet. And as I look at your lists and containers, I realize it wasn’t all that hard to figure out, but you just made it that much easier for me and helped me actually take that step further today. I’m starting today. THANK YOU.
