    Just often enough until you find some dishes you like making and then some more time until you’re bored with those dishes and then you’ll actually like trying to come up with new things to cook

      This right here.

      You only need the ability to make 5 or 6 different meals. Here’s some simple rules.

      A meal is 3 things:

      • a serving of protein
      • a serving of starch
      • a serving of vegetables

      How big is a serving?

      • About the size of your fist

      If you have 5 or 6 different proteins you know how to cook, you can mix it up with the 5 or 6 starches, and 5 or 6 vegetables. Grocery shopping is easy too. Buy larger quantities of just the ingredients for your 5 or 6 meals. Stock up when certain ingredients are on sale.

      There, you’ve got your basic nutrition covered. Mix in other meal ideas as you go. Welcome to adulting.
