What goes in each container
- Container 1 — protein: chicken, turkey, lean beef, tofu or another cooked protein.
- Container 2 — carb: rice, potatoes, pasta or another starch.
- Container 3 — sauce/toppings: keep cold sauces and crunchy toppings separate.
Why separate storage helps
You can change portions without rebuilding the batch, keep sauces from making food soggy, and assemble different meals from the same prep.
