Keep it simple: a canvas carb like potato or rice; a grilled or baked protein — I usually only cook this ~95% of the way through so that when I microwave it before eating it’s not overcooked; and a fibrous vegetable. Only make 5-7 meals at a time, and don’t try to eat the same thing for every single meal of the day. A base like this can be adjusted for whatever your calorie and macro needs may be. Plus, it allows for plenty of variety, which is something you don’t realize you need until…
… you start meal prepping. Sick of potatoes? Try rice, or sweet potato, or pasta, quinoa, or really anything carb heavy. Sick of chicken? Try beef or bison. Your veggies are where your flavor will come from, so really experiment with what you can make. My favorite is a cowboy caviar or something similar
