Storage Guide
How long each prepped item lasts
🍗 Cooked Chicken
Fridge: 4–5 days · Freeze: 3 months
Store with splash of olive oil to prevent drying. Freeze anything not eaten by Thursday.
🍚 White Rice
Fridge: 5–6 days · Freeze: 1 month
Cool completely before refrigerating. Reheat with splash of water. Never leave at room temp >2hrs.
🍠 Sweet Potato
Fridge: 4–5 days · Freeze: 3 months
Leave uncovered 30 min before sealing to avoid sogginess.
🥦 Roasted Veg
Fridge: 4 days · Freeze: 2 months
Best by Wednesday. After that blend into soups where texture matters less.
🥚 Hard Boiled Eggs
Fridge (peeled, in water): 5 days
Change water daily. Never freeze — texture becomes rubbery.
🥩 Ground Beef/Turkey
Fridge: 3–4 days · Freeze: 3 months
Most perishable. Freeze half immediately if not used by Wednesday.
Costco tip: Buy chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt, oats, rice, and nuts in bulk at Costco — saves $30–40/week. Fresh produce is better from Superstore weekly.

Re-entry protocol: Week 1 will feel easy — that's intentional. Week 3 (5/3/1) will be genuinely challenging. Neural efficiency drops ~5–8% after 2 weeks off. Starting lighter protects connective tissue and ensures safe readaptation.
