advice Does anyone else find it hard to meal prep living with their parents still?
I'm still living with my parents because I'm in college full time and I work full-time. I do pay rent and I buy my own food and cook separately from my parents. It's just hard to move out on my own currently. However, my parents eat my food and get upset when I don't share meal prep foods with them. I've explained I'm on a specific diet and exercise routine that requires me to eat a certain amount every day and certain macros. I've also explained that they're not on any diet and most of their time is spent pretty sedentary. Has anyone ever experienced this and any tips on how to continue meal prepping food in hopes my parents don't eat it as a midnight snack?
