Ok - good for you.
But what I said isn’t considered complete BS
Would you have even said anything if Mingo wouldn’t have asked you to?

Let me guess OP is a 23 year old who lives by himself and thinks he figured out life more than everyone else because he can eat rice beans and chicken every week
Ok bud. Get a real full time job with responsibilities, a wife, 3 kids, and the metabolism of a 40 year old...
Then get back to us about how your meal prep and rice and beans are going over every night

I meal prep about 1 hour on sunday and typically cook something else one other night a week. It takes less than 5 minutes to warm it up or make a vegetable as a side.

This whole thread reeks of lazy fat people who are too weak to say no to their kids. Since when is eating healthy some unobtainable goal only for singles?

No kidding. My wife cooks real meals and we rarely go out to eat. Most of it is healthy and some not. I want good food to eat (not junk food or fast food) and if that means that we have an unhealthy meal of fried chicken or whatever, so be it.
I'm not eating baked chicken, rice, beans and a vegetable every day like we're from some impoverished shithole or I'm cutting weight for a wrestling meet. If that was my daily meal prepping, I would rather eat out every meal.

. I eat nothing but fresh food, and a lot of it, for like $200/month.
If people would take a break from blasting their taste buds with artificial flavorings that fool their brains into thinking that they are consuming some high-quality shite, which then tells the body to eat as much of it as possible, maybe they wouldn't be over fed, under nourished, and suffering from metabolic syndrome at 40.

We spend way more on food than we should.
For all the hard work we've done to expand our cooking options, I still feel like it's just the same old shite all the time. Vegetable sides in particular:
Baked potatoes
Roasted Potatoes
French fries
Corn on the cob
Corn salsa
Squash casserole
Fried squash
Fried okra
Cucumber salad
Sautéed peppers and onions
Mixed greens salad
Baked beans
A bunch of it is stuff we grow in the garden and eat all summer, but it's half potatoes/Corn (all carbs) and half fried, so it's not even particularly healthy.
And the time compression every night - I've got an erratic work schedule and work 9-6 or 1-10 a lot, whoever is cooking has a toddler hanging off them the whole time that really needs to eat between 530 and 600. God bless my wife for working hard to overcome picky eating habits but she still has taste and texture problems with quite a few veggies.

1. I question how good your food is if it takes one hour to make it for the week, regardless of how healthy it is...you might see it as fuel but would you serve it to someone and expect them to eat it?
2. Kids are a game changer. They might weigh 25 lbs but they cost just as much as you do to “feed”. I watch hundreds of dollars of food go in the trash every month just giving my kids the opportunity to eat
Moral of the story, life is much easier by yourself. Traveling, eating, finding time to exercise and otherwise managing expenses is not very difficult when you are only accountable for yourself. Wouldn’t start a thread with that thought either, it’s obvious

Eh, if they are over 5 that's you and your wifes fault.
It was a pain teaching my kids to like a wide variety of things. One wanted veggies, but would only eat chicken as far as meat. They other wanted to only eat meat, cheese, and bread.
It took awhile, but they both will eat pretty much everything I put in front of them now and they like it. But at first I just didnt give them a choice and there were some nights of butt chewings about it.
You just have to do it or theyll end up eating chicken nuggets their whole fricking life.

I bought split chicken breast yesterday at Rousse’s for .77 per pound!

bullshite. Or produce receipts showing that you only spend $200 on food for a month
I’m not saying fresh produce and meat is prohibitively expensive, it isn’t......but $200 a month is absurd unless you live alone and/or eat only chicken breasts and strips of celery
I spend about $120 a month and only eat fresh food. I shop at Costco. My price per unit is dirt cheap.

Eating the same overcooked meat, mushy veggies, and bland rice every day of the week gets old.
Yes it does. But it also saves a lot of cash. I watch co workers (or did pre Covid) eat take out meals for lunch every day then come Christmas complain they didn’t have enough cash for gifts.

Mine are younger than 5, but not sure how you concluded I only give my kids what they want to eat when I said I throw food away trying to get them to eat.

Of course its good. Its like you people can't understand you that you can have chicken in the air fryer, salmon broiling in the oven, and ground meat browning all at the same time.

Because you probably feed them chips and apple sauce with 20g of added sugar. A 25lb kid does not cost the same to feed as a 175 lb man. Full stop

Don't disagree at all but there are too many lazy fricks out there. Hopefully people will change their ways to be healthier but most prefer convenience over health.

Does Mingo think that anyone who doesn’t live like him is woofing down McDonald’s on the reg?
As for your diet of chicken breasts, well, one of the main reasons we pursue lucrative employment is so we don’t have to suck down a steady stream of chicken breasts OR go to McDonalds. This is where living healthier starts to get expensive.
Oh, and let me check with the wife how well this “eat the same way every day, and have my existence center around exactly one topic” approach to livelihood will work out.
