You will miss a lot of sensory sensations with that. You may treat your body as a brain-riding bipedal machine, but it is not a healthy approach.

I don’t eat for sensation though. I don’t crave it or need it. I can happily eat the same thing every day and not care. For some people that’s insanity, and for others that’s normal. I just don’t care about food, I see it as a waste of time and effort. The less time spent preparing, eating and cleaning up the better. I understand that chewing is good for your health, which is why I eat solid food a fair bit, but othe…

Are you doing anything for bodily sensations then? I mean like swimming, jogging, massage, sex?

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.

Fasting for more than ~36 hours can be quite dangerous without medical supervision. Probably why it’s downvoted.

I'd like to see a source for that, my experience is you need to be pushing 4-5 days before it's really risky. Let's assume the individuals are intelligent enough to take in basic electrolytes. eg: There are mixes made for this purpose such as LMNT

As others already mentioned, there are lots of shakes for that. 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.

If you’re concerned at all about quality of ingredients, also consider Huel. It’s available in Europe and the US.

What makes you believe the ingredients are better? What's the benefit of Huel over, say, Soylent?

When It's really bad I just buy multiple costco rotisserie chickens, some frozen veggies, put food on plate, microwave, cover in sauce, eat. Add in premier proteins, fit crunch, and clif builders and you can shop for like 2 weeks in a single run and not die. My "I cant be bothered" template is the following. is essentially pick one from each category * 1/2 LB (225g) veggies * 1/2 LB or 1 fruit * 1 protein * Caloric l…

You mention needing to use the Left Bumper to pick veggies, but what are the xbox controls for the other choices?

Really funny, but a lot of those contain more carbs than fiber, so they cannot be used every day.

Just to be shockingly pedantic -- Dietary fiber are carbs so containing more fibre than carbs is technically impossible.

Ok, but I think your point means like refined starchy foods, and not fibrous vegetables and grains?

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?

Carbonara, or when (by miracle) short on carbonara ingredients something like Cacio e Pepe or Aglio e olio.

It’s simple, quick and oh so good. Enough time to make a really quick salad in between too.

Frying rice with canned tuna and black pepper has been my life saver as a student. If you have a rice cooker, you can use the rice from it. If not and you don't want to clean two pots, just boil the rice in a saucepan and once ready, get it out and fry the canned tuna with some chopped onion and black pepper. Going to Indonesia, you can find out that's a variety of their national dish (nasi goreng). A sunny side up e…

Fried rice (literally “nasi goreng”) is common across east Asia and varies by local taste. I agree it’s easy to make, I just add whatever sauce, veggies and meat I have and it’s great every time.

Speaking of nasi goreng, the one from the Aceh region of Indonesia is my favorite.

neat concept. the constant '<---' footnotes all over the place make it hard to read because they pull focus from the statement at hand for me visually.

Just get an instant pot, it's an incredibly versatile kitchen gadget, even without the pressure cooking. You can make all sort of bean, rice, wheat etc. dishes. Add whatever condiments and frozen veggies you can find and leave it alone for half an hour. Do it once for the whole week.

Once you master the stews and want to get fancy, you can make stock from meat and vegetable left overs, it beats the store bought flavor enhancers by a mile.
