I literallt eat oats mixed with whey for like 80% of my meals because preparing real food is just too fucking boring i cannot do it
I eat that for breakfast everyday, it is not bad at all
Yeah but my mother said i was living in poverty eating like this
Truth is i literally cannot cook a meal, it’s just too much effort
same here lad but it's milk + oatshakes with some fruit+veg to snack on
>it’s just too much effort
only if you're cooking from scratch every day. meal prepping for the whole week is much more practical. I make my steak and potatoes for the week on sundays
too much effort and too boring ... maybe if you bring your laptop and phone into the kitchen you'll be ok
do you struggle with an illness? like actually, not trying to take jabs at you. there is something seriously wrong with you if you can't make an omelet or steam vegetables.
>cannot bring himself to do the following in a 20 minute period
• measure 70g of basmati rice. dump into rice cooker bowl. wash rice
• heat cast iron pan on medium heat, simultaneously heating oven to 400 freedom units
• place chicken breast on cutting board. trim excess fat if that's your preference. Liberally salt chicken, along with pepper paprika garlic powder frickin' lawry's whatever you like. The trick with chicken is to use a LOT of seasoning, it's a blank canvas with minimal flavor otherwise
• 2 tsp of good quality olive oil in hot cast iron
• sear both sides of chicken
• throw in oven for 5-6 minutes after searing to bring to temp
•wala your rice is now done too cool, just microwave some vegetables now or something
creates 3-4 dishes to wash anon, and is very tasty and quick meal.
not that weird, there’s a surprising amount of people that eat nothing but cereal
I grew up eating like 5 bowls of cereal with whole milk every single day (wheaties, grape nuts, boring kinds), along with whatever regular food my mom made. I swear it’s the reason I’m 6’4, despite my parents only being 6’0 and 5’5. I was just super active so despite eating that much, I was skinny. I think my parents would buy like 4 gallons of milk a week for my brother and I.
slow cooker chicken thighs to melt the gristle. you basically slap the meat in and press a button. buy a premade seasoning mix and you can just dump it on top like salt
Youre sick in the head. No joke. Your dopamine receptors are so burned out you can't even enjoy something simple but creative like cooking. Fix your life, bucko
Rice is about as easy and provides a solid foundation for any meal. The problem with home cooking nowadays is no one’s taught shit, everyone believes you need to follow a recipe, and there’s trillions of dollars in making you not do it. At this point I enjoy basic cooking, using whatever I’ve got on hand, etc. when I’m grabbing groceries I just think of grabbing two vegetable type items while I’m out (onions, jalapenos, brussels, mushrooms, etc) and some easy meat (turkey burgers, lean ground beef, eggs, beef sausage). Pan goes on burner, oil goes on pan, meat goes on oil, vegetables go chop chop, meat comes off pan, vegetables go on pan, vegetables come off pan. All thrown on a plate of hot rice to keep it equally warmed. Takes probably 25-30 minutes of effort counting dishwashing too, but honestly it’s meditative and a rewarding effort smelling smells and making something good with your hands. You’ll feel better for making it and feel better for eating diverse nutrition.
30 minutes is too long
It needs to take 5 minutes tops
If you’re short on time, do Saturday or Sunday cooking and just make frozen burritos of various sorts. Mexican food is some of the easiest in the world, they just throw shit together like it’s pizza for most everything. Tortilla from a bag, lime juice from a bottle, guacamole from a plastic tin, choice of meat pan fried or just pry part a rotisserie chicken, shredded cheese from a bag, etc. Any order, any amount, most things are packaged for easy calorie counting too. Probably 30 minutes for a week’s worth (or more) of food, which amounts to less than 5 minutes a day. Your only wait will be microwaving.
But how do you have the energy for this shit? Buy groceries, order everything, cook the shit, place in boxes, clean it all, organize
I CAN NOT DO IT
make it part of your workout routine
how dysfunctional are you dude
Lotta people say the same thing about working out, and only those who put in he intentional effort the first few times know to do it automatically later. Yeah, it sounds confusing, there’s a lot of decisions and things to keep track of, and you’ll make mistakes the first few times. Took me 5 or 6 tries to work out how to cook eggs on stainless steel without getting them stuck to the pan. But as you go through the motions and your total reps increase, you find you know what to do once you’re there in the kitchen and hardly have to worry about it.
Here’s an example first go (cont.)
Actual manbaby moron
(cont.)
Next available time off, or next time you’re going out anyway, go to a grocery store
Grab:
>Hispanic/Ethnic aisle
Bag of tortillas, smoked chipotles in adobo sauce can, any brand of mexi-seasoning if they got it (ignorable)
>spice aisle
Smoked paprika, cumin, salt and black pepper if you don’t keep any on hand
>dairy aisle
Dozen eggs, bag of mixed cheddar or Monterey Jack
>deli/butcher aisle
For a first time, I’d just say rotisserie chicken and sausage for simplicity
>vegetable aisle
Generic chopped mushrooms if you like em, a white onion or two, jalepeno (habanero is also nice but easier to frick up on portion)
At home (pro tip: doesn’t have to be immediate, go do other shit between grocery and cooking if you like)
>chop
Onion, jalapenos. Just small bite size, nothing precise.
>cook
Chopped vegetables in a pan with sausage with lid on. Should be medium-high heat, don’t need long, sausage is precooked. The goal is to get a small sear and soften, not fully steam. Pick apart rotisserie chicken while this is happening, easy to bag up drumsticks and breasts and whatnot for chicken and rice, but you’ll want enough shredded now for burritos. After sausage and vegetables, scramble eggs. Take sausage out of vegetables and mash it to bits once cool enough, store separate from vegetables.
>combine
Tortillas go down, portion things evenly, place sausage with egg, chipotle/adobo peppers/sauce, smoked paprika, salt & pepper, and cheese. Chicken goes with veg, cheese, cumin, salt & pepper. Always put a little less of each ingredient than you’d intuitively think, people naturally over portion burritos and can’t close em, you’ll figure it out. Look up vid for wrapping burritos and place them all in freezable containers, done. Microwave at leisure.

why do you people enjoy interacting with morons
Because certain trigger phrases like “I cannot do it” and “it has to take less than 5 minutes” make me picture a lost 18-20 year old who wasn’t taught life skills by his parents, is terminally online, and has probably been shaped by the various israeli subversions to our society to hit this point of excessive dependence. Seeing him act this way makes me angry at the system for failing him, he acts too fricking helpless to properly blame him for it. A moron by design, constructed to consoom the goyslop, etc. If I can give him a chance to develop even one relevant life skill towards independence, help him generate value in himself he can pass on to his children, then I feel like I’m doing some good.
tl;dr: moron posts are good bait.
First time will take you time. Second time you’ll remember some. Third onwards, if you do this once a week or two, you’ll have it memorized and it can all be done from getting groceries to cleaning dishes in less than an hour. Then you’ll get bored and try adding something new. Then you’ll learn a little bit about how you like the peppers cooked. Then you’ll want to do things that aren’t burritos. Once you have a foundation of one general recipe format, the little additions and techniques and efficiencies you develop will teach you about ingredients, one at a time, and it’ll make future recipes you attempt easier to understand. This is the equivalent of starting strength, just get in the door and do something, anything with design and purpose, and broaden your horizons from there. Again, only worthwhile if you think it is, but future people in your life (girlfriends, wife, kids, dinner guests, etc) will consider this skill invaluable and it’s good for your soul overall. Best of luck to you.
Also, I’ve literally never done either of these recipes before. I just know how these ingredients work and that they’d probably go well together, and I believe I’ve eaten similar at restaurants and the like. That’s the point though, without having even done this before I can walk through every step of what to do because I’ve done similar. Cooking does not need to be precise.
My favorite right now is doing onions and jalapenos with a beef sausage, can throw a lid on the pan and do them all at once. The onions sweat out their water and the humidity helps heat the sausage evenly, and the flavors seep into the meat a bit. Anything stuck to the pan (stainless steel) I can deglaze with a splash of white whine vinegar I keep on hand, get some of the crispy bits back with the food and eases the cleaning. Thai chilis in a mix of fish sauce and lime juice with a bit of minced garlic goes great with a lot of things on rice too, lasts a while and is like a 5 minute thing to put together, goes great with chicken for me. Etc. The point is, cooking from home is based, a valuable womanizing trad skill, self fulfilling, easy, and fun. Just takes wanting to consider it instead of dreading what you’ve gotta d for food tonight.
>Rice
even blander than potatoes fml
Rice is only as bland as you make it my nibba
Eggs and bacon take like 10 minutes to fry up.

No Hank Hill meme, get a propane grill. You can cook stuff like skirt steak, thin chicken breasts or thighs, brats in literally 5 min.
Frozen veggies and any other carbs you want. Easy and healthy.
Crack 6 eggs into a pan with some lard in it. Add cheese of your choice. Swirl it around a bit then fold over after 2 or 3 mins. Much easier than your gymcel shake and way more nutritious also.
How do you workout consistently? Like the act of working out itself. If cooking normal food is boring how do you do something that is repetitive as working out? If 25-30 mins is too long to prep something for cooking, how do you spend an hour at the gym? I'm working on the assumption that you even workout, mind you. But my guy, you may need to work on changing mindsets or something if that basic necessity is that much of a problem for you.
I feel you. Once you tasted the open oven - put pizza in - come back 20 mins later pipeline there is no coming back. You can do a whole workout in that time! Meanwhile, cooking takes at least 30 min. It's all so annoying.
Then why are you even working out if it's so boring? Lifting is fun, cooking is just the necessary thing to do. Boring af

there, just saved you from scurvy anon
you need to mealprepmax and easyrecipemax.
its honestly not hard.
buy some chicken breasts, like a kilo total which shouild be 5-6 of them, and cook them with tomato sauce. find a simple recipe online, follow it, maybe tweak it week after week.
buy some beef (ground or otherwise), repeat the same process as with the chicken
buy a rice cooker. i assume you already have an oven.
rice in a rice cooker is basically 1 button. oven baked potatoes is the same, tho they do take quite a bit of time (at least 45mins for large potatoes). still, this is time spent afk. you just toss it in and set a timer.
now, every time you want a meal, reheat a chicken breast (or 2, or 1.5 or whatever) or some beef
then measure x amount of rice and drop it in the cooker
or, alternatively, toss a potato(or 2, or 3) in the oven
and yea, you got yourself a meal.
id also suggest fish fillets. tuna, salmon, whatever
toss some butter in a pan, toss the fish, toss it around a lil, done
steaks (beef and pork) are the same level of effort, you just toss it in a pan (or grill) and spend 10 minutes max over it. hardly a huge time commitment.
i'd also suggest those pre-cut mixed salads from the grocery store (i assume yours also carries something like that)
open the bag a little, drip some olive oil and vigerar in, close the bag, shake furiously, dump in plate
there you go, salad achieved, goes well with the fish
>a potato, or 2 or 3
You eat up to three jacket potatoes?
nah, i stick to one.
a small one, usually.
but im just saying, you COULD do more
Shoutout to my Instant Pot for making meal prepping bearable. Ive got the largest one and it makes perfectly cooked rice for the whole week in one go. You don’t even have to stand there, just throw the rice and water in and go do other shit.
You wash your rice at least, right?
r-right?
