In this short monologue, Eric Roberts explains that many people struggle with meal prep because they treat protein like a single‑serving task. He likens it to doing laundry: instead of washing one sock, you wash a full load. By cooking an entire package of protein (e.g., multiple chicken breasts) at once, you create ready‑to‑reheat leftovers that keep protein available throughout the week. Roberts also recommends using hands‑off appliances—air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, or oven—so the cooking process requires minimal active attention. The combined strategy of batch‑cooking whole protein portions and leveraging set‑and‑forget devices turns protein preparation into the easiest part of the day, preventing meal‑prep failure.
