Had this issue for years now, meds nuke hunger and I’m terrible at eating breakfast by the time I get back from work they’ve worn off and I have zero motivation. Fallen into the diet of nearly always having ramen, energy drinks and a beer here and then with a muti vitami.

Tried planners, can never get them to work my job having constantly changing shift patterns probs contributes to that, even tried one of those meal recipe box thingies stopped due to it A: being expensive and B: still didn’t really work.

I’m not even a bad cook either just cannot force my brain to bloody do it.

    Mostly by being an ingredient-only house. If there’s nothing too convenient around and you’re hungry enough, you might be more inclined.

    Also you can make big things that you can pick off of throughout the week. I used to make giant pot roasts, which are great because you just dump stuff on top of a roast and pop it in the oven for a couple of hours without having to fuss over it, and eat that for a day or so, get bored with it and make tacos with the meat, etc.

      I cook a pot of spicy beans and use it throughout the week with tortillas, chips, toast, or rice.

      Cook one day, eat for 5. Finding a meal you like, and can do this with is pinnacle imo, I agree

        Kidney beans and rice with kielbasa. Though in the portions I cook it in, it’s more like cook for one day, and have at least 3 weeks of food to shove into the deep freeze.
