Question Regarding Food Storage

DGJ3 Posts: 68 Joined: 2006/03/12	2007/11/13, 05:58 PM Alright, so obviously diet is extremely important in achieving goals. I tend to avoid eating healthy foods when they're not available to me, so I eat whatever I can get my hands on, and it's usually not very healthy. Therefore, I want to start preparing my meals for the entire week on Sundays. However, what are you able to make and store for the whole week? Meaning, I know some foods may turn bad or have some sort of negative effect if you store them in the refrigerator too long. Any help would be appreciated.

I store that in a tub in the 'frig and dig my dinners out. It lasts from Sunday to Friday fine, if your 'frig is cold. -------------- DEFENSE! - Bas Rutten

I make things like grilled chicken breast, chili, lean burgers. I've even boiled eggs and peeled the shells and thrown them in a container in the fridge for quick breakfasts/snacks. I've kept grilled salmon in the fridge as well and it's been fine for several days....nothin's killed me yet:)

What difference does this make, rather than just storing the food in the regular part of the refrigerator? I'm guessing those people just heat the food up in the microwave when they want to eat it? Any help would be appreciated.
