Tim Ferris makes an argument for eating simply and with little variety in the 4HB. I’ve somewhat taken up his breakfast suggestion of a microwaved tex mex scramble with a base of egg whites for breakfast.
I used to fry a couple of eggs up in the morning and have toast. Microwaved egg whites with beans are faster and better for me. Tasty, filling, low glycemic index. Minimal time, cost, and cleanup.
An intermediate thing that’s been working for me lately—I haven’t felt like really cooking.
Rice (probably cooked in advance in a rice cooker), stir fried with sausage (I have the good fortune to live near Di Angelo Brothers, which makes reasonably priced sausage from scratch), and one of those Indian beans or lentils with sauce packets.
I found it was easiest to just stop eating complex foods at home. If I want a prepared meal I go out. If I stay in I eat minimally prepared things.
My health has improved dramatically.
Of course this isn’t a viable option for most non-single people.
What were you doing before?
eating out more often and eating prepared food from markets at home.

If I recall correctly, Tim Ferriss is currently writing a cookbook.
I’m verging towards this; but it’s expensive. And yet, somehow, I never think about making stir-fried random, which I always quite like. Hm.
news to me, I’ve never spent this little on food. I primarily eat eggs, milk, cottage cheese, broccoli, sardines, ground beef, chicken, and prunes.
Ah. Do you find that you want a prepared meal more than once or twice a week?
realistically 4 times a week.
