This gotta be a joke right? Your story is something I would expect form a 4chan greentext. In case its not: I am happy you can live with this kind of diet but honestly, it just sounds very horrible for me and if I would need to live like that every day I would become very depressed. It's worth to cook at least simple food, just to have some variety in ur daily live and warm meals are so much nicer than eating cold every day.

I go out for a warm meal every so often. I just don't want to have to do that every day or to have to learn how to cook. Before this I drank Soylent for around 2 years, I'm not the kind of person to get bored by lack of variety in food. I just wanted something easier and healthier than Soylent.

  It's good that you found a way to plan meals that works for you and I am not saying that you should stop. What I am saying is that most people value the variety of food and actually want their food to taste good so I think your plan is not suitable for the vast majority of people. I mean I am also one of those people who "eat to live" instead of "live to eat" but your plan is just way too extreme. Even I can feel the difference in my mood when I manage to cook every day and get a decent variety of food. I started to meal prep every sunday and just prepare food that I then heat for dinner and that worked pretty good for me.

Yeah, gotta agree here. I've lost a significant amount of weight, which I've talked about before, and I never had to resort to anything that horrific sounding. Here's my advice for quick cheap healthy meals: get a microwave steamer. Throw frozen veggies and meat bits (I use Morningstar brand fake-meat strips but I assume real meat equivalents exist). Takes about ten minutes to make a meal, you can mix up the vegetables and any sauces you want to use on the whole thing.
