I cook enough food for 2-3 days and put it in the fridge. Simple food when I'm busy like oatmeal, greek yogurt and peanut butter. Snack on nuts and bananas. Boiled eggs are easy and take about 10min to make.

Intermittent fasting is better than getting takeout.

agent_of_entropy · 2017-03-14T09:34:54+00:00

Grow your own. Go out to the garden and decide what you want to eat. I'm seriously considering installing a tillapia pool.

nigelh · 2017-03-14T09:50:53+00:00

Slow cooker making lots of portions to freeze.
It allows me to combine quality ingredients and a microwave life style.

Look into meal prepping. You are much less likely to crack and eat something unhealthy / order in food if you already have something delicious and healthy waiting to be heated up when you get in.

I prepare a few days of meals at a time, usually on a Sunday I make my dinner for Mon, Tue and Wed. Then on Wednesday evening I'll do the same for Thur and Fri. Some people go really hardcore and prepare meals for all 7 days in advance but I prefer not to as after 3 days or so I find is when the taste starts to be impaired.

I have a pool of recipes I use so I don't get bored of eating the same things and I like trying new stuff too. So for example, on Sunday I prepped some butter chicken that I'll have for dinner for the next few nights. On Wednesday I'll prepare 2 portions of sweet potato lasagne and then I'll cook something fresh on Saturday.

urgood2go · 2017-03-14T09:25:53+00:00

Yeah, I've developed a few simple quick, cheap and healthy meals that are low carb, moderate in protein and high in healthy fats.

I usually buy large tins of pink or red Salmon or Tuna and mix this with 100ml high quality extra virgin olive oil, then I chop up a red onion and mix this in. That's it, its super healthy, tastes delicious and is around 1600 kcals, keeps me going all day; in the evenings I snack on roasted almonds and blueberries with a little MCT oil, this combo seems to provide all my nutritional needs and I don't have to cook.

gundahir · 2017-03-14T12:45:44+00:00

i eat 2 times a day. breakfast and late evening. between that is pretty much intermittent fasting mode. i do not ever feel hungry though because i eat low carb high fat. additional benefit of this is i save tons of money because i dont need to buy lunch out. my body and my stocks portfolio thank me for that. food is important so make time for preparing it. getting fat on that diet is pretty much impossible. gotta love those dumb obese chicks wasting tons of money on diet advice books and crap like that that doesn't work and keeps them obese anyway.

odion1500 · 2017-03-14T13:37:35+00:00

If I dont cook I dont eat.

I have lost 10kg since becoming MGTOW

I enjoy cooking now.

DigitalScetis · 2017-03-14T13:42:24+00:00

Soup is so ridiculously easy to make and inexpensive. Very healthy too. The main ingredient (water) is something everybody already has.

Bouillon is cheap, but if you can do your own stock, you can do it even more cheaply.

Celery and carrots are so ridiculously cheap; you can get a whole bunch of them for a dollar a bunch.

Onions are also ridiculously cheap for the cheap bagged ones (which work just fine). If you want to splurge, you can go for better onions, or use leek, cilantro, or something more exotic. Make sure you render these down to caramelize them; that's where the flavor is at.

Fresh garlic is expensive, but you don't need much, and a bulb can make 5-7 meals.

Whatever's on sale (chicken, beef) you can do. It don't even have to be the best cuts.

A huge stock pot means you can make gallons of the stuff; it'll last you for days.

Herbs are cheap (bay leaf, thyme, parsley). Ambitious MGTOW can grow their own fresh herbs on the window sill. Tie up a few sprigs in each batch and let it sit in it while it sims.

If you want some starch, you can get whatever pasta, barley, or rice that you want.

The key ingredient is time; soups can take a long time to cook and sim. But once it's done, you'll eat like kings. None of those preservatives or additives either.

ransay3277 · 2017-03-14T14:47:24+00:00

Keep it simple... Avoid soda, surgery snacks, fast food and drink more water. Everything else in moderation.

CrustyMainer · 2017-03-14T15:08:06+00:00

Fruits help too. Buy some ckemintines, oranges, apples, etc, and have them in plain view and easy reach. A personal favorite snack is apples and peanut butter, and celery and peanut butter.

ASkyWithoutEagles · 2017-03-14T11:45:11+00:00

Yeah plan big meals and you'll have leftovers for a couple meals.

I usually toss stuff in a skillet. It varies every time but something like: smoked kielbassa, onion, bell pepper, veg oil, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Chop it all up. Shits good and moderately healthy. Sometimes I do asparagus with potatoes. You can change it up to keep it fresh.

Coluphid · 2017-03-14T13:08:37+00:00

Slow cooker.

Drop in meat in the morning or lunch time, by dinner you've got amazing tender meals waiting for you.

Did it this weekend with a whole chicken. Dump it in, turn it on. Six hours later amazing moist, tender chicken that will last a week's worth of sandwiches and other meals.

YourAverageBloke2 · 2017-03-14T13:14:27+00:00

I make all my meals on Sunday for the work week. I get 1.25 pounds of oven roasted turkey. That usually makes me 10 sandwiches, 2 per day.

Turkey = $10 White bread = $2 Ketchup = negligible, but we'll say $0.25 Bag of apples = $3 Head of cauliflower = $2

Total cost = $17.25 Cost per meal = $3.45

I get a healthy lunch with meat, fruit, and vegetable that doesn't make me feel like garbage. I avoid all the lines at fast food restaurants during the week. And, I save about $3-5 per meal.

It's a no-brainer. Plus, who knows what kind of weird hormones they put in fast food. Fast food should always be a last resort.

eagleye101 · 2017-03-14T13:29:17+00:00

raw beef and raw eggs

enlightenedmgtow · 2017-03-14T13:33:14+00:00

I'm a lazy cook. Chicken breast in the oven, 30 mins, set and forget, and rice w/ rice cooker. I also cut up random vegetables to eat with it.

fleshnbones · 2017-03-14T13:34:14+00:00

Honestly, as long as I'm staying away from fast foods I'm good, I do go on a fruit fast every now and then to flush my system out, I don't eat much meat to begin with, a little ground meat here and there but mostly fish and chicken breast, ain't nothing like some baked Swai fish, white rice and broccoli with a little butter and a pinch of salt.

I also don't drink any sugary drinks at all, straight up water and OJ, wish I lived by myself though, I could eat as healthy as really want to.

chaircushion · 2017-03-14T14:44:55+00:00

When I don't have the time or energy for cooking I eat huel, a European version of soylent.

Usually I do this once a day for the last year. It is the healthiest fastfood I've ever eaten. After the first two weeks I started feeling healthier and more energetic than ever.

Folwart · 2017-03-14T14:47:34+00:00

The key is developing the habit. If you can force yourself to do it for 20 to 30 days, then it becomes easier. I put other people and activities on a lower priority than my own stuff. I save doing stuff with friends for my free days for the most part, or I plan ahead and make extra so I have leftovers for a quick meal.

geocitiesuser · 2017-03-14T15:51:58+00:00

When I'm home I cook fresh. Usually just plain meats and veggies with some spices.

When I'm at work I drink MRPs (currently drunking 100%food lowcarb, similar to /r/soylent)

JackWithTheHammer · 2017-03-14T16:20:18+00:00

Get a slow cooker. Just put in your meat and veggies before you go to work, and come home to a delicious meal. It's great!

Or bake stuff in the oven. Clean and dice your meat and veggies, put them in a deep on with some oil, water and seasoning to taste. Bake on 350. Stir every 10-15 minutes until you can easily pierce the hard veggies with a fork. Makes you enough for a few days.

lollipoopex · 2017-03-14T16:25:19+00:00

I need a plan of simple and healthy and relatively cheap food, like:

quinoa with bananas/frozen berries/frozen vegetables
pasta with tomato sauce
chicken with rice ...

in everyday life I can't think of more that requires the same amount of time to prepare it and thats as healthy.

Zombocom1911 · 2017-03-14T16:39:43+00:00

you can buy frozen already cooked chicken breast filets, you can buy microwave steam in bag sweet potatoes, very good for health as a meal

LetsGoAllTheWhey · 2017-03-14T17:06:18+00:00

I'm far too lazy to cook much. So it's bananas, greek yogurt, and protein shakes most of the time for breakfast and dinner. I also just started eating walnuts, which are supposed to be healthy and are also very filling.

aboveaverageposter · 2017-03-14T17:48:51+00:00

Raw vegan.

flashbang123 · 2017-03-14T17:53:02+00:00

You should try micro-fasting

a17c81a3 · 2017-03-14T18:09:19+00:00

I eat mostly lentils, rice and vitamins. Too busy to cook real food. (fixed)

EconomistMagazine · 2017-03-14T18:21:18+00:00

Veestro. It's a vegan competitor to Blue Apron if you've heard of that. Frozen pre-made meals delivered to your door.

Food is great and cheaper than going out. It's a huge time saver. Since it's portion controlled and vegan already I don't feel bad about having cheat days on the weekends.

Best thing is I feel better. I'm mentally sharper and not getting tired and heavy bloated.

wawakaka · 2017-03-14T23:05:01+00:00

mc double 1.49 350 calories

enough to get you to the next day.

mutageno · 2017-03-14T23:11:54+00:00

Avoid processed foods, dairy, sodas, and anything with a lot of sugars or flours.

Most healthy food is already made or 5' cooking: veggies, nuts/almonds, oatmeal, brown rice.

Chicken breast cooks in less than 10 in an iron skillet. With pressure cooker you can cook beans and potatoes in 10 minutes.

Cook 5x what you are going to eat and freeze it. Frozen veggies can be made tasty in a frying pan in about 2 minutes.

Rediscover flavorings: onion, garlic, oregano, turmeric, peppers, vinegar, and a lot of other spices. It makes a huge difference for healthy foods.

BravoSmith · 2017-03-15T02:53:49+00:00

I have to admit that I love hamburgers, but I cut back on dairy by drinking almond milk and forgoing cheese. My go to veggies are cauliflower, brussel sprouts and tomatoes (fruit?). Tomatoes are very MGTOW; they promote a healthy prostate.

ThePenitentMan38 · 2017-03-14T11:29:06+00:00

How do you manage to eat healthy?

Eating a plant-based diet is probably one of the best things you can do to your body.

When I was working remote, I would cook everything over the weekend and separate into individual containers. The food was healthy and the calories calculated in advance. That way I didn't gave to fuck with it the rest of the week. Lost 30 pounds last year because of it.

Now that I'm traveling for my current project, it's a bit more of a challenge to behave myself but I'm managing

username082016 · 2017-03-14T19:01:59+00:00

On Sunday's I buy groceries and Sunday night prepare food. Pyrex containers are your friend. Not science, just rotate beef, chicken, pork, fish. Get to know your local deli or meat dept, get stuff try it out, find out what works and what doesn't.

Edit: Veggies, add hummus
