Practical nutrition during a cycle

[Lintz]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of a cycle and I'm starting to wonder if my nutrition is really optimal. With heavy training, I don't always manage to prepare substantial meals, and sometimes I have to resort to quick solutions to avoid falling into deficit.
Do any of you use “quick” or freeze-dried meals to supplement your normal diet during a cycle? Just to get a regular intake without spending hours in the kitchen. Can this really help you keep up the pace without affecting your gains?
Thanks for your feedback. I'd like to hear about your personal experiences rather than theoretical advice.

bros food prep twice a week. keep the food stored that way. you have a fridge take advantage of that!

you can get containers to store food. try some simple things to food prep. you don't need to get fancy.

get an air fryer. You can cook just about anything in that. It does the work for you so it literally doesn't even take any time on your end.

you don't want to get into a habit of depending on protein bars and shakes to supplement a poor diet. That won't end well and it never works. You've got to learn to eat properly.

invest in a rice cooker. You cannot only cook rice in that thing but you can also cook things like oatmeal and vegetables. Get a bigger one where you can cook a lot that will last you for many days.

don't eat frozen processed junk. that isn't healthy. you need to prep your own healthy food

it takes 1-2 hours 2x a week to food prep. all you need is a rice cooker, air fryer, pan, and containers. you can prep anything you want to last 3-4 days
