Between school and working full time I have less than 0 energy to cook food when I get home. I also don't have the energy/time/attention span to pack a lunch most days. I've been eating like a raccoon for a month just waiting to feel up to meal prepping because this current pattern is bleeding me dry. What works for you?

Hey !

On the last 4 years I've been working full time / having a lot of occupations the rest of the time, and yeah ... it sucks.

Depending on my social situation I have two main solutions :

Organizing with people : when I live w/ people we often organize for food preparation. Someday somebody will pack lunch for everybody in the house in the morning / the evening, or the week-end for the week.
Doing biiiig meal on the week-end, for the whole week / half the week: Things like broths can be really well conserved, as well as sandwich ingredients etc... You are not obligated to do full meal, you can also prep some parts to lightweight meal prep during the week etc... This ofc depends on when and how you have free-time.

This also comes with alarm clock, reminder etc... so I don't fck up my rhythm.

Also, I am vegetarian and had a lot of financial issues lately, this was also a strategy I / we used to buy food from wholesale merchants.
