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?
(And not a highly paid programmer)
2. It's a recipe book
(For cooking by oneself not a self help book for fixing ones sad bastardness)
Reminds me of a non satire student cookbook where recipes are sectioned by what utensils and cooking appliances you have at hand. E.g. one pot, frying pan, etc. all the way up to, well a normal kitchen.
As a student myself I’d appreciate all those recipe sites to have a filter by appliances. Seems half of recipes involving meat requires a stove I don’t have.

The preface is ridiculous. Salads, PBJs, Ramen, rice and veggies, english muffins / rice cakes and PB/nutella. I'm not sure why this is a thing.
I'm voted down for looking at the link and giving a half dozen options without reading the link.
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've had days when I can't get past the activation energy required to use a frying pan, but a microwaved poached egg on toast is just about within my mental capacity. I've had days when I can't deal with anything with a significant flavour or complicated texture, but I can manage to eat a bowl of ramen over the course of an hour or so.
It's not about what you -can- survive on, the anticipated limiting factor here is the human themselves.

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.
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 a…

There are quite a few companies that deals with this, usually in the form of a shake rather than a pill. I think Soylent was the name of one of the early entrants.
Now I feel old. It feels like yesterday that everyone was talking about Soylent and its eccentric founder who ordered new shirts from China instead of washing the ones he had and tried to find a diet that allows you to not to have to use the bathroom.

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.
