#meal prepping

[oneofthosecrazycatladies]

Right y’all, I’m calling on the collective brain cells of Tumblr because I have a problem that I don’t know how to solve and I refuse to turn to AI

Okay so my problem is lunch. I never know what the fuck to do about lunch. Breakfast and dinner? Easy. But I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do when I’m hungry in the middle of the day.

I tried meal prepping and I fucking hate meal prepping. I do love to cook so I tried saving dinner leftovers to have for lunch but I also hate leftovers (and, even though I love to cook, I hate cooking lunch specifically). I tried snacking for lunch and it just didn’t do it for me. I can’t afford to get takeout for lunch every single day nor do I want to subscribe to any of those meal kit services. I tried frozen meals but the tasty ones are grossly unhealthy (and I really do need to watch my sodium intake) and the healthy ones are disgusting.I also tried just eating a huge breakfast so I’m not hungry for lunch but I used to have a binge eating disorder so eating big meals triggers my food anxiety.

I’m desperate y’all. I can’t skip lunch because previously mentioned food anxiety and also blood sugar issues but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to eat lunch. PLEASE HELP!

Them white ladies might have been onto something with these casseroles. Cuz one dish is enough to cover me for the whole week and most of these ingredients are relatively cheap 🤔

I know meal prepping saves you money an is generally a good habit, but the minute I have prepped meals they’re the least desirable thing I could ever eat. Like. Gross, I know what I’m having for dinner tomorrow? Where’s the romance gone in mine and dinner’s relationship?

i suffer from chronic depression and really low energy. i find preparing even the most basic of meals really hard.

do you know of any places in the uk i can buy vegan ready meals which do deliveries please?

also things i can buy in bulk for breakfast, lunch etc like cereal bars where prep isn’t needed

thank you so much

Huel is a good option for very cheap meals, you can buy ready-to-drink ones or powders that you just mix yourself. That can be breakfast and lunch sorted by itself. There are also quite a lot of meal delivery services in the UK who offer vegan food, I found about five with a quick search but I haven't tried any, so I can't make recommendations.

Stocking up on basics like soups, pasta pots and packaged noodles would be good in a pinch. Protein bars would be good to have on hand, Misfits ones are great but Trek do protein flapjacks that are vegan as well. Home and Bargain and Heron do big flapjacks which are surprisingly vegan and are very high in calories, for when you just need to get some fat and calories in - they're about 5 for £2. For more nutritious options, canned foods can also be just thrown in with microwaves rice, things like chickpeas, lentils, black beans, kidney beans etc. You can buy microwavable packets of pre-flavoured grains and such from most supermarkets, they're reasonably healthy and not too expensive. There are also loads of snacking faux meats that you just throw on some bread for a quick lunch. Even just having some bread, hummus and carrot sticks in in can serve as a quick lunch when you really don't have the energy.

The best advice I can give is to pre-prepare meals in bulk, during those periods where you have the energy to do that. This doesn't need to be complex recipe making, you can throw soy chunks/fake chicken, rice, broccoli and soy/teriyaki sauce in a big pan and make enough for a few days in about 10-15 minutes. Meals like chili, pasta, curry, homemade soups and noodle dishes freeze pretty well so you only need to blast them in the microwave.
