Between school and working full time I have less than 0 energy to cook food when I get home. I also don't have the energy/time/attention span to pack a lunch most days. I've been eating like a raccoon for a month just waiting to feel up to meal prepping because this current pattern is bleeding me dry. What works for you?

Most of my meals are things I can throw on top of each other or things I can microwave.

tortilla wraps, throw on feta cheese, hummus and spinach. Shove in face.

If you can get the energy to make pasta or rice, throw on beans and frozen veggies and sauce. Just on top and into the microwave.

Beyond that, I supplement heavily with protein bars, protein chips, trail mix or dried fruit. Things I can leave in a bag.

There's no shame in eating lots of little things. Picnic lunches. The variety actually helps.
