My food for when I can't be bothered is pasta with canned pesto sauce (+optional parmesan). Can eat it every day. Another a bit more involved option is pasta with checkpeas: https://www.seriouseats.com/pasta-e-ceci-pasta-with-chickpea... What's yours go-to recipes?

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.
You cannot fast forever. At some point you need to average your TDEE (lets say 2k calories). Intermittent fasting means you go from eating 2k calories in like 4 meals across ~16hrs to as few as 1 meal in 15 minutes (OMAD). I'd suggest the longest sustainable (ie, doesnt _eventually_ result in starvation) intermittent fast would be a 1:1 fast where you're eating 4k calories on the day you eat.
Saves a lot of ceremony, but you still have to eat the same amount of food.
How many commenting / voting actually followed through and downloaded the content? The content itself is a mess (they admit to it) and sensible alternatives are an easy first pass. The link is worth looking at and the recipes aren't bad. But "so you don't die" is hyperbole and you can survive on less. I live in a food void and cooking is a passion. The link isn't bad, but it's approach is over the top.
I did. It’s good. It’s aimed at people like me whose sole thought is “ugh, cooking? Again?” Food is nutrients. Cooking is time spent making the nutrients edible. The more I can minimise that wasted time (both cooking and eating) the more time I have to spent on useful things. Think of how exciting your laundry is to do. Now do it three times a day and listen to people who gush about how much they love it. That’s what…
I don’t have a particularly developed palate or anything, I wonder if this difference in appreciation is physical or psychological
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.
I have tried the following (mostly European):
- Soylent: the original (first). Ok, but not my favorite.
- Mana: I like their powder version (more than the drinks). Especially good with some bread sticks.
- Bertrand.bio: tastes very much like cereals. Pretty good.
- Jake food: one of my friend's favorite. I prefer others.
Healthy meals take 2 hours to cook but can be consumed during multiple days As a starter, one must at least eliminate all candy, sugary products, and bad oils. I look around and see no hope for society. Even "healthy meals" are just a substitute for rich, once-a-week-at-most recipes In Spanish, the centuries-old idiom says it best: mesa pobre, mesa sana (a poor table is a healthy table). But people find that too _bor…

A lot of dishes would require more than one of these, at which point you might as well get an actual stove.
With an Instant Pot, an induction burner, and a toaster oven you can make anything that would require a normal kitchen, just in smaller portions (as in, you aren't cooking a whole turkey or a giant casserole).

It's super easy to lose control, I can't believe it but what a major difference dropping that daily piece of chocolate, the sugar in the coffee and the soft drinks made.
