I compared meal prepping on Sunday vs Wednesday and one was way better

So I tried doing my meal prep on Sunday for a month, then switched to Wednesday for a month to see which worked better. Sunday prep always left me with sad, mushy veggies by Thursday and I ended up ordering takeout on Friday because nothing looked good anymore. With Wednesday prep, my food stays fresh through the weekend and I actually eat everything I make. The big difference was that Wednesday prep means my lunches only sit for 2-3 days instead of 5-6 days. I also spent less money because I wasn't throwing out half-eaten containers of rice or wilted spinach. Has anyone else noticed a big difference based on what day you do your prep?

Oh man, I feel this so much. Sunday meal prep always sounded like such a good idea but by Thursday I'd be staring at soggy broccoli wondering why I bother. Wednesday makes so much more sense, I never thought about the timing like that.

Totally agree with Wednesday being the sweet spot. I started doing Tuesday night prep and it's wild how much less food I waste now.
