What kind of psychopath has three warm meals a day? You cook three times a day? Or do you eat out three times a day? I believe the latter to be more crazy.
I do share the intended sentiment however.
Have u tried doing like a week of meal prep at a time? I cook a weeks worth of meals every Sunday then don’t do anything during the week. U can avoid eating the same thing for a week strait if u have multiple sets of meals ready then u can mix and match to get variety. I do generic protein then generic carbs and generic sides then can mix and match those in all sorts of combination to also increase variety.
I actually have a few months ago, I made a bunch of crockpot meals, pre-cooked some fresh veggies, made a few deserts. It was great for a few days.
Then I woke up one morning and my freezer door was wide open. My fridge/freezer is like 25 years old and doesn’t really shut properly so it will open if you bump it too hard, I assume a cat jumped up there and got it open. Everything was thawed out and warm, I tried to save what I could but our compost got a lot of it.
It hasn’t happened since but I’m a little scared to put a bunch of food in there again. I have been pre chopping all of my veggies though and that’s been a huge time saver.
I’m just waiting for one of my fancy friends to get rid of their perfectly good fridge and ask if anyone needs it, then I’ll probably try again.

Breakfast: Coffee and toast
Lunch: Toasted sandwich or reheated dinner leftovers
Dinner: Something home-cooked
As someone who usually prefers a hot meal over a cold one, that’s my standard fare. It’s not a crazy effort.
I cook 3 times a day. It’s fucking exhausting and I’ve come to hate my kitchen. But it keeps everyone fed and happy for a fair price.
I also work from home though and mostly cook on company time.
