This page plans by rotation block — how many portions the block needs, and what stays at work versus at home.

Standard meal-prep advice assumes a Sunday cook and a five-day work week. On a rotation, Sunday is arbitrary — sometimes it’s your third night in a row.
Planning by block instead of by weekday is what makes the count stable. The block is the thing that repeats, so it’s the thing worth planning.
If you have a fridge at work, the goal is to always be one shift ahead so a schedule change doesn’t leave you empty.

Carry only the current shift’s food with a cold source and keep the rest at home. The USDA bag-lunch guidance linked above covers safe holding.
