does not really apply to you... but those living with roommates could cook alternately throughout the week. A duty cooks and cleans everything up for everybody in house - so you get to cook fewer times than everyday but eat healthy dinner everyday. not sure if it's common thing in here, but I remember being surprised (when I first came to US) seeing Americans (students sharing house/dorm) eating dinners separately. of course, it only applies to dinner, but that's the most time consuming one I guess.
