    + it doesn’t need to be complicated. You only need a few ingredients and can buy certain pre-made things like crumbed fish or chicken. If you do it right the first meal takes 30 mins, then eating the same thing again in the next few days should only take 5-10 mins.

      There’s little hacks for certain foods too if you can’t cook worth much or don’t want to bother to. For example I don’t want to bother with cooking a chicken, so I’ll go get one hot off the rotisserie chicken counter at Walmart or HEB. $6 for a whole ass chicken already hot cooked and ready to go, take it home and shred it. If it’s hot the skin and legs taste good as a snack of itself while you’re processing it and you can hand shred the breast / thighs / etc and save it for using in meals. It’s how I make quesadillas or chicken alfredo really quickly.

      Exactly. Take three main ingredients and use that as a base, or keep it like that. For example: rice + tofu + tomatoes. Another: couscous + chickpeas + green beans. Simple, quick, easy, and nutritious. Add some more flavour with herbs, spices, soy sauce, etc
