Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

Meal prep then, cook a big meal or two on Sunday and eat them though the week.
There's so much that's less than ideal about this. A lot of people don't have a big freezer. Some can't afford to pay for bulk ingredients up front. Some people won't have a half day spare to spend it cooking, especially if they have kids. And then there's the depressing aspect of eating the same food everyday.
I'm lucky I enjoy cooking so don't mind it taking up my evenings (nor do I have kids or a small freezer or work full time on minimum wage) but even I balk at the thought of meal prepping.
2 meals for 5 days is pretty boring also, it takes a significant amount of time of my Sunday to batch cook. Preparing the meals, cooking, cooling, portioning, and washing. Not to mention there is still plenty of time to he spent preparing the meal on the day such as cooking veg, rice, pasta etc to go with it.
