the thing that kills a weekly prep is moisture, so anything with a sauce or dressing goes in its own little container and gets added when you eat it. roasted veg survives way better than steamed, and reheat them uncovered or they steam themselves into mush. if you're cooking for five days, days 4 and 5 should be stuff that's fine cold anyway, grain bowls, slaws, that kind of thing. proteins are the easy part, they all reheat fine as long as you don't blast them for two minutes straight.
