Frequently Asked Questions
What should I eat for muscle building meal prep?
Focus on calorie-dense, protein-rich meals: chicken with rice, beef stews, pasta with meat sauce, and curry dishes all work well. Aim for at least 140 kcal and 20g protein per 100g. Freezer meal prep ensures you always have a high-protein option ready, even on days you don't feel like cooking.
How many calories should a muscle building meal have?
For a 500g portion of our recipes, expect 700-1200 kcal and 100-150g of protein. Combined with breakfast and snacks, that puts you in a solid surplus for muscle growth. Use our portion calculator to dial in your exact portions.
Can you build muscle eating freezer meals?
Absolutely. Freezing doesn't change the nutritional content — protein, calories, and macros are identical to fresh-cooked food. The advantage of freezer meal prep is consistency: you'll hit your targets every day because the food is already made.
