I'm curious to know what eating habits of other professionals looks like. When I was a student, I lived with 4 other people. Cooked regularly. Life was sunny. Now that I live alone, putting so much effort in cooking doesn't seem worth it. Me being a vegetarian limits my options of eating out greatly. Most of the places close to work seem expensive. Cheaper options (like pizza) seem unhealthy. I end up cooking for an entire week over the weekend (which is sad af) or I eat unhealthy food outside. I'm considering meal box options like daily harvest where I just need to microwave the food. It's relatively healthy and cheap. What are other easy, cheap, healthy, quick, vegan options (I know I'm asking for a unicorn, but worth a shot) ?
Pride. I eat it with a side of dignity.
Whatever my company decides to cater for us. 🥺
Just the free food at work, some restaurants on the weekend. Don't really have that much in my fridge 🤷🏻♂️
I suggest Orgain vegan all in one drinkable meal thing, if you want something quick on the go
Also have you tried sweetgreen?
Love sweetgreen
Learn to make and enjoy salads.
Good salads will require me to buy 5-8 ingredients, cut them, use them before they get spoiled. Like I said, I live alone. Even one beetroot would make 3-4 meals if its one of the 5-8 ingredients. Also, I will end up eating the same food multiple times. Preparing different recipes with the same vegetables will require me to think/plan. I don't want hassle.
Good food requires labor. You either invest in it or you pay for it. Literally, there is no free lunch.
Whatever the cafe is serving that day.
Increase breakfast...skip lunch...no snacking...have dinner Or change the order of dinner with lunch... Switch smoothies for lunch. Hunger will call your name.
What do you eat for dinner?
Salad as much as I can..then if needed with some real food (slice of pizza, roti, soup whatever) so that I can have satisfaction. I do skip dinner at times. Basically break the routine..but don't skip breakfast
I love instantpot... lotta one pot recipes can be done which are healthy, dont take too much time... for eg soups, rice , quinoa, indian dishes like poha, vermicelli etc ... throw in veggies, ur fav spices ... and you are done!
Soups and stews in the winter. I do big batch cooks and freeze in single size portions, so I can rotate out and not get bored. Lots of salads and grain bowls. Batch cook a few core ingredients like quinoa and hard boiled egg, pre-prep vegetables by washing and chopping so everything is easy and ready to go in the fridge, and then when hungry just assemble and top with a tasty sauce or dressing. I also sometimes use a local Seattle area meal delivery company, sort of like Blue Apron or HellloFresh, except they use all locally-sourced ingredients and sustainable packaging. It's expensive but pretty great.
I might move to Seattle, what's the company?
Acme Farms + Kitchen. They are technically based out of Bellingham, WA, but do delivery to Seattle and Portland.
Soylent like everyone else
