    Do you spend 6 hrs a day cooking and do not do any clean as you go?

    Wtf are you preparing? Are you stuffing a turkey each meal?

    We recently got an airfryer. it helps cut down prep time and ease of cleaning to the point I don’t get upset about it anymore. Would highly recommend if you haven’t got one already

    Meal prep, and cooking stuff that doesn’t need much involvement.

    I eat 6 meals per day when I’m trying to gain weight, and it can be done with very little time spent cooking.

        I haven’t had the need for that in a long time. I’ve been working out for so long that my maintenance calories are 3700 right now. I can eat whatever I want and still hit my protein goal within my calorie budget

    Those numbers are off. It takes me about half an hour to cook a meal. I clean while things are cooking if I can. And it takes me about the same time to eat. I get that it’s a joke, but it’s entirely unrealistic unless you’re doing things very wrong.

      I’ve been eating the same two-pound portion of taco meat for the past four days. Usually in soft-shell tacos, but sometimes in frittatas. The trick is to be dead inside.

        This is ideal because the tortilla IS the plate.

        You’re not dead inside until you move to hard tacos.

        Thanks for your input, Chef Boyardee. I always make sure to put great store in ad-hominems from fictionalized canned MRE mascots. Take your shitty ravioli high horse and go ride off into the sunset with the Sunkist tuna.

    Lucky you! I’ve got a simple solution, only use single use plastic, then all you have to do is just put a big plastic bag over your table and when you’re done eating you just pick up the bag, close it all up and throw it away and that way you just leave the problem to your grandchildren and they’ll die from climate change.

          I cook four portions, my husband has a portion, I have one too, my son then eats two portions and says he’s still hungry.

          You can’t meal prep with pre-teens/teens in the house. This kid will eat leftover roast chicken for breakfast, like the whole damn thing.

          I cry while grocery shopping and pray to saint peanut butter for help
