I’ll add another method I’m just trying out, attempting to balance speed without meal prep - super simple meals and grocery runs a few times a week. Here’s some I do: 2 or 3 eggs. Toast. 1 pan. 5 or 10 mins max. Bowl oatmeal, dried cranberries, walnuts. 3 mins microwave. 1 steak, bag of spinach, box of mushrooms. 1 pan, 10 mins max (sauté the spinach/shrooms while steak is resting). 1 rotisserie chicken pre-cooked in bag, 1 bag frozen fried rice, 1 bag frozen veggie mix, 1 pan, 10 mins to warm the rice then the veggies. Salt. Pepper. In fridge, Hot sauce. BBQ sauce. I order a chipotle burrito bowl every day for lunch. Order the ingredients for pickup to save $, or just go when you’re bored or need a break from the computer. I’m finding that this is a good balance between the blandness of 4 day old meal prep, constant daily cooking for more elaborate meals, huge spending for hellofresh or Uber eats, etc.
