How many days do you cook meat for??

**Koubs** · 03-04-2009, 05:34 PM

My friend cooks his chicken every day for that day only.... I couldn't imagine doing that... Personally, I cook my chicken on Sunday and I make enough for the whole week, then just warm it up when it's time to eat... then i cook it again the following sunday... I cook my steak a little more frequent, maybe every 5-6 days

He says he thinks it would 'taste funny' if you warm up chicken/steak several days later... How long do you guys cook your food for?? Why?? When do you think it 'goes bad'?? and any 'horror stories' from eating meat that has gone bad?

I try to cook for the week, but I'm feeding 2 other people besides myself - sometimes it doesn't last that long.

2x per week....going a whole week i feel the meat tastes different...i prefer sun and wed-thurs..

Cooking everyday would be a pain, unless your like Jay Cutler and dont have anything else to do but eat sleep and train

I cook on the same days as you Chuck. I feel the same way. If it goes longer than 3-4 days, it tastes funny...especially chicken. I cook this way w/ everything. Meat, veggies, rice, eggs, etc.

Sometimes I'll cook a turkey or a big roast and then freeze the meat in portion sizes if I feel we can't consume all of it in a week.

I usually cook on Sunday for the week... portion it out into my glad ware containers so all I have to do in the morning is grab and go....

i cook my meals daily. I like it fresh. Just me. I used to do it in advance....then again two of my meals are protein shakes, then a can of tuna, then eggs, the other two are chicken and fillet Mignon

I do both. Fresh and ahead of time. Usually not more than 5 dyas at a time.

Me or my wife cook dinner and when we do that, we make the chicken or whatever for the next day too. Sometimes I will make 2 or 3 days worth if I know what is up with the week ahead. But I always have canned chicken and tuna on hand as a last resort.

The boss cooks monday-friday's chicken and meat for me on sunday morning.

**GrowthGifted** · 03-04-2009, 07:50 PM

I cook all my meals everyday

**The Thinker** · 03-04-2009, 07:52 PM

We cook 3, maybe 4 days in advance. I don't trust it any longer than that.

Depends on the work week. If I have the day off, I prefer to cook my meals as I eat them. Went long enough (for me) eating re-heated or cold precooked food. No thanks, just prepared tastes so much better. Plus, it just makes me feel better, like when you where a kid and your parents made your meals.
But, if I am gone for the day, I will cook for that day in the morning. Fresher the better.

Have four tubs I see more in a day then I've seen my parents in the past two years! lol Steak, chicken, frozen broc and frozen brus sprouts.
