    New Food Ideas...Help!

    Okay, so I'm on a bulk at roughly 4,000 calories a day. I am looking for suggestions for replacing my second and third meal of the day (the two meals I eat while at work). First and foremost, I hate cooking lol, which is why I cook everything on the weekends for my entire week. Currently, I have been eating a beef stew consisting of 9 ounces of beef and 400 grams of white potatoes (along with some baby carrots and a chopped onion for flavor) per meal. I've been on this meal plan for the past 2 months, and I'm sick of it now.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on meals I could replace my existing ones with? Keep in mind that whatever I make would need to last up to a week in the refrigerator. I'm really craving burgers (lean beef), but I don't think they would last in the fridge that long and they would dry out anyway. Also, before I switched to this meal, I was eating chicken and rice, and I don't want to go back to that meal either. Any suggestions? I don't want to do a dirty bulk, but I also don't mind 'nonoptimal' carb sources such as bread or other carb sources that are at least moderate on the glycemic index.

    I used to make a big-ass batch of lean ground beef seasoned with Mexican spices (think taco seasoning). Depending on your macros for these meals, you can add beans (red, black, etc.) or not. Have it over a big bed of lettuce, add some light sour cream and shredded cheese, if you have the time, some chopped tomatoes, and if you can afford more fat (at 4k cals/day, you probably can), some guacamole.

    I bought a bake in the bag boneless turkey breast last weekend. Easy as it gets, then I boiled and mashed some yams, and quickly steamed some asparagus. Super easy meal, and it was pretty good. Kept well for the week to. A quick stir fry with some pre cooked chicken strips fried with frozen veggies is pretty good. Tuna casserole is very easy. Trader joes has all kinds of sides frozen in bags. Use them with meats
