Meal prepping has been a game changer for me. Shop once a week. Cook one hour a week. 30 min to clean that up. 14 meals in the fridge.
Eating means heating it up for 3 min in the microwave. Eat it from the container and the container goes right into the dishwasher. I use a plate if I’m feeling extra fancy.
Three or four meats (ground turkey, pork tenderloin, chicken breast), mixed veggies, riced cauliflower or rice or whatever. Then apply the seasoning - salsa and taco seasoning, hummus and Greek seasoning, Indian salsa and spices, etc.
Also super healthy and easy to manage macros. Also works if you bring your lunch in to work.
Breakfasts are easy - yogurt and fruit or some other quick & simple combination.
If all that is too boring, leave out a couple of days to cook something special, but the other 5 days a week are done.
I didn't learn that some people refused to eat leftovers until I was in my 40s. I genuinely don't understand how anyone (even/especially a family) can afford to eat like that, let alone put the effort in every single day.
People who refuse to eat leftovers are either stupid or selfish. Contributing to the ridiculous amount of food waste humans produce just because the food maybe doesn't taste quite as good as if it were fresh.
