    Are there any websites that provide healthy food recipes that are easy for people who can't cook and don't have a tremendous amount of time to cook? Seemingly every website I find with healthy recipes is either too complicated or too time consuming.

    I often get home around 8:30 PM and end up eating canned soup (Healthy Choice though!) because I'm too tired out to cook chicken/etc

    I look like I've made a vigorous but still failed attempt at suicide, nice big scars on each wrist, and I'm going to get at least one more in the crook of my elbow later this month / next month.

    It's hard to go to the gym when your arm is completely dead for a day, and you're under strict instructions to keep it warm and not let it get bashed at all for a few weeks.
    These all sound like excuses because they pretty much are, and I'm a terrible person.

    Nope. Those are real excuses. Valid excuses. Not "I don't feel like it today"...

    I don't know if you have access to the material if you don't pay, but Insanity had some very easy meal ideas. So easy, in fact, that I was reading them and going "oh, that's it?". And I'm no chef.

    Also, welcome, new folks!

    The better answer is to just learn how to cook instead of continuing to act all, "blueerrrgggh this is all so complicated and time consuming!" while looking like this:

    Cooking isn't hard! I'm lazy, though, so I end up eating a lot of salad, toast, and raw veggies.

    use a slowcooker

    that's my solution

    well

    actually sauteeing something in a pan doesnt take that long either

    or broiling something in the oven

    if you're really lazy just do a lot of chopping and prep work on sunday and put stuff in containers, and then finish the meal at night and it'll take 15 minutes

    Fuckin' stirfrys, man. Some sliced chicken thighs, some noodles, some chopped veggies and sauces to taste. 15 minutes work to make enough for four decent meals. Dinner and lunch two days in a row. And so little washing up, too. Chopping board, knife, wok and one wooden spoon. If you can't handle that, there is something wrong in your life.

    Throw meat on grill/pan for 5 minutes, flip, 5 minutes. Throw broccoli in bowl, add some butter, microwave 3 minutes. Done.

    Make a liquid solution of the flavour powder (concentration level depending on taste) and inject it into your tongue.

    Maximum taste experience.

    I'm lazy as hell so I throw my greens in a blender with a bit of fruit. Yummy and easy and brainless.

    Turns out those damn medical people knew what the hell they were talking about. I had basically been subsisting on white flour and sugar for the Christmas week. I feel like crap and my hemoglobin dropped to almost dangerously low levels extremely quickly*. Now I'm shoving green leaves in my face and into every food I've been eating as much as possible because this feels awful.

    Collard greens, Kale chips, and spinach are your friend.




    *It dropped so quickly that the medical staff at the blood donation center suggested I go see a doctor. So I suspect there may be a secondary cause for the quickly drop. But I'm sure diet had a role to play.

    You have time to cook, you just don't want to.

    Don't make excuses.


    It isn't rocket science, fuck up a few meals and you'll have it down.

    Look at getting Jamies 30 minute meals by Jamie Oliver.

    Not all of the meals are super super healthy, but none are flat out bad for you and there is a good variety.

    Really though, cooking isn't hard, there may be plenty of steps, but chances are you wont massively fuck it up. And there is even less chance that it wont be completely inedible.

    It's generally agreed upon that I'm a pretty decent cook.


    I fuck up meals all the time. it's really the only way to learn.



    Hell, I fucked up our NYE meal because I didn't have time to properly marinate the chicken. It was still edible and wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't what I planned on making. That's what cooking is.

    Reminds me of when my sister sent us all an email about why margerine is so terrible. Now, I'm not actually commenting on whether or not it's worse or better than butter, but one of my sister's key points was that it's supposedly force fed to turkeys to fatten them up. What the fuck does that have to do with whether it's better or worse than butter?

    Well we do deprive livestock of their natural grass and feed them lots of "healthy" grains to fatten them up. Maybe that's why the emphasis on eating grains is correlated nicely with our obesity rates.

    Ok, so I'll throw in "artificial" in front of chemicals ya silly geese. Cue more silliness about the word artificial.
