Ain’t nobody got time for that. (Or the energy after a long day at work)
That's by design. The same way that processed foods are designed to be addictive.
I managed it. I got most of my cooking times down to 15-20 minutes per meal. Less if I prep over the weekend. My problem is I'm sharing a kitchen with 2 other people who keep the fridge loaded with frozen garbage from Costco which makes it impossible for me to meal plan effectively. I miss living alone.
I do it with my wife. We cook 2 dishes for the week and just prepare it in the evening beforehand. It is very cool to just put some food in a container rather than spend evening cooking something. It is dirt cheap. Around 50 euro for 2 people for a whole week. Sometimes much less if we already had something in storage.
Get a burrito wrap. Throw on a scoop of hummus, a handful of feta, and a bunch of that prewashed spinach. Takes two minutes, and it's delicious and filling. If it's not filling, have another.
The only downside is that I end up eating this like 6 times a week because its the easiest thing I have and I don't want the spinach to go bad.
Just eat raw stuff, that takes zero time. Doesnt have to be your entire diet, but just eating raw veggies and fruit as a snack on a daily basis is great for your health.
