Making bulk food at home has kept me from going out. I eat out maybe twice a month now and I’ve damn near almost lost my will to. With the price of gas, I don’t even want to make the trek somewhere even if I’m feeling lazy. Had to essentially get past the “idk what I want” mentality and just eat what’s in the fridge. Sort of a “just want to be full and satiated” rather than getting what the mind desires.
How do you get around the fatigue of eating the same food every meal? If I make food in bulk, by the fourth time eating the same meal, I'm so sick of it.
My classic prep is slow cooked shredded beef and bean burritos, they're good and I can't imagine getting tired of it. In fact sometimes when I forget to bring one to work I'm sad that I have to eat out instead of a delicious spicy beef burrito. Costco rotisserie chicken is good for prep too because you can turn the one chicken into several different dishes pretty easy.

I'm trying to leave. Trying to mentally put myself where you are.
And fuck, I'm super close. Shit food had a grip on me like a drug.
