I wish I could just take one pill a day (or three) for nutrition (and satiating hunger) and not have to eat meals at all. That would be amazing, not to have to deal with food. Buying, preparing, ordering, over eating.

This is why ready-to-drink Soylent exists. It's not a pill, it's a bottle, but it is precisely this. It's extremely convenient.

+1 also Huel and energy bars.

Have you ever tried not eating at all? Fasting is actually easier than you think once you get over the initial hunger humps. Obviously seek proper medical advice first but just to point out that it's possible and I've personally done up to five day fasts while still working and going to gym as normal.

Not sure why this got such a negative reception, intermittent fasting has been shown to have multiple benefits.

Its probably closer to what we spent generations evolving towards than the typical diet of shoving processed meats + Big Gulps in your face hole 19 hours a day.

Hah strange that people are downvoting this answer, I think the parent referred to skipping a meal rather than not eating for the rest of (now short) life.

I’ve been skipping a meal for 5 years now, with just having lunch and dinner, and for the last year have been trying to do only dinner some of the days with relative success. Benefits include staying fit, having more energy, having more time, enjoying the food I actually eat more, and being able to skip any meal any time without feeling too bad about it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://www.amazon.com/NutriChef-Portable-Induction-Cooktop-... Perhaps a single burner induction cooktop is in your budget, which you can use to brown/fry meat.

Thank you for posting this. It made me realize that with this very portable device I can eliminate a stove from dwelling requirements.

A lot of dishes would require more than one of these, at which point you might as well get an actual stove.

Would work better as a webpage with clickable ToC. I'm not gonna print out a 146 page doc with such recipes as boxed mac and cheese.

> I'm not gonna print out a 146 page doc

Excellent, with no index you would absolutely need a search function which paper can't provide.

https://www.completefoods.co/ has exactly what you wish for in diy powder form. Or as others have mentioned, there's a lot of products that try to do the same that you can buy directly.

    recipes to make when you've worked a 16-hour day
Why not just sit down in a restaurant on your way home?

Or if you worked at home, take a nice walk and sit down in a nice restaurant along the way?
