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?

I slam my head into the plate or bowl and then suck everything up like one of those bottom-feeding fish.

I just don't do like once a week shopping. I go out every single day to get what I am going to eat because when I buy stuff in advance to just keep at home, I end up not wanting it and it goes bad. I also have a hard time thinking of meals to get and make when I am not hungry. So it's easier to just go out and get what I want, when I want it. Most of the time, it's a premade dinner or sandwich from the grocery store across the street I just have to heat up.
