Hot take: meal prepping on Sunday is overrated, just prep ingredients instead

My buddy spent 3 hours last Sunday prepping 14 identical chicken and broccoli containers and by Tuesday he was ordering pizza because he couldn't look at another one. Half the time the prepped stuff gets soggy or dry anyway. I'd rather just chop some veggies and cook as I go, keeps things interesting.

@spencer_coleman maybe try prepping the ingredients separate so nothing gets sad and soggy together.

Did he at least try mixing up the seasoning or sauce between containers? I feel like the boredom factor kicks in way harder when you eat the exact same thing five days in a row, even if it's decent. I've had luck rotating between a couple different marinades or spice blends for the chicken, keeps it from feeling like a chore by Wednesday.
