The Assembly Line Protocol
1
Mise en Place Stations
Set up 4 stations: proteins (pre-cooked/cured), bases (greens/grains), toppings (nuts/seeds/cheese), dressings. Assemble in order for consistent nutrition per container.
2
Moisture Barrier Method
Always place wet ingredients (dressings, tomatoes) in separate compartments or small containers. Soggy greens kill meal prep compliance on Day 3+.
3
Protein Pre-Treatment
Canned tuna/salmon, rotisserie chicken, deli turkey, hard-boiled eggs, and Greek yogurt are your no-cook protein arsenal. Buy in bulk every Sunday.
