    This has been my experience. I find nutritional science incredibly boring, I’ve tried many times to get excited about it, but I just can’t seem to find an ‘in’ with it to make it my 2-week special interest and learn the basics properly.

    At this point the bar is “if you can’t explain in one sentence, written, what meal I can make for cheap in less than 1-2 min of active effort and no more than 10 min total prep/cooking time with no skills, effort or culinary knowledge that will be tasty to give me dopamine for the day and feed me for the entire day, I’m not interested”.

    I just eat bacon, pork sausages, eggs, and throw in some kale, spinach & watercress. I’ve cut out all bread, sweets, snacks and alcohol. It’s probably not healthy but fuck it we all gotta go sometime. Right now though, feels great, I lost a ton of weight. Hard not to overdo it on the salt added to eggs but I keep a close eye on it.

    The only negative I’ve noticed it as I often get hit with random low blood sugar fainting like symptoms after my 2nd-3rd coffee, later I realized I basically was consuming no sugar at all, so now I gulp down 4 red bulls a day with my elvanse for breakfast and the problem went away. MH got way better too.

    For dinner I have some frozen pizza or something like that that I can make without any effort or time, but lately it’s way way way too much effort to cook/eat.

    Wish there was some “nutri-slop 3000” type magic pill that just gave me all nutrients I need for the day so I wouldn’t have to worry about this shit.

    This is all meant with no offense to nutritionists/scientists, way I see it, y’all doing god’s work. Literally. If that lazy mfer bothered existing or got off his ass we wouldn’t be cursed with this shit fr.

    Edit: Wow what’s with the downvotes? Le Reddit hivemind is upset?

      I mean, there are these “complete meal” drinks, specifically for people like you who don’t really want to think about their next meal

      You calling it elvanse makes me suspect you have access to maultaschen. Bürger vegan maultaschen (Typ 1) have macronutrients in the proportion suggested by nutritionists; taste good raw, sautéed, or in soup; cost <€2,50; and keep very well. Other varieties are possibly similar, but I don’t know if they can be eaten raw or how they keep.

      Plus, they’re a good base for taking elvanse.
