Alright so this is basically going to be a repost from the fitness thread, but I think something like this warrants a thread. Feel free to throw around opinions on how to make this easier for yourself, or really any other suggestion to cater this type of diet to your needs.
Just as an update from the original post, I've been currently dieting this way for roughly two weeks and my overall quality of life has improved greatly. My lifts in the gym are right where I want them to be going into my cut and not having to cook on a daily basis is making it much easier for me to enjoy what I love doing the most, which is gaming for prolonged periods of time.
Anyway, here's the original post.

So I'm looking to restructure my diet. How I cook, when I cook, and how to prevent any kind of cheating. My goal will be to consistently hit my daily goals without needing to spend any extra money to help me attain said goals.
First thing I plan on doing is getting roughly 14 tupperware containers, enough to get me 2 full meals per day. The tupperware containers I currently have will serve as extras for snacks that I can pack for work (sandwiches, almonds, granola bars, etc.).
Second thing I plan on doing is either getting a bodybuilding backpack (one designed specifically for storing food, among other things) or a big-ass lunch box that can hold all the tupperware.
Thirdly, I plan on cooking a weeks worth of meals in advance. This would basically be every Sunday after work. I would get home around 5PM, cook until 8PM-ish. I would cook one meal of brown rice with chicken breast and another of possibly potatoes and sirloin beef. What I plan on eating that day or the next, I put in the fridge. Anything else would go in the deep freeze. This would prevent any of the food going bad from sitting in the fridge. I'd be turning most of my food into Walt Disney until I'm ready to eat it.
All of this in collaboration will keep things much more organized, and almost perfect enough for me to easily assess a plateau and what needs to be done to overcome it. Having my diet perfectly down makes everything I do in the gym much easier to track.
The reason I've decided to do this is because I'm lazy as shit. My diet has been slipping for the past few months, and my "lean" bulk that I've managed to maintain for 2 years is getting less... Lean. I've certainly lost about 4lbs of LBM, and gained about 4lbs of fat, that seems as though it's situated itself conveniently on my abdomen (4lbs is too much idc what any of you say). I may do a small cut (5-10lbs) to get myself to about 9-10% body fat. Having my new diet plan in place will make the next time I "lean bulk" much easier. This will allow me maximum time sitting on my ass throughout the week, while still hitting all my macros.
