    I keep trying to cut back on eating out but I work so much and when I’m home I fall asleep without meaning to. I don’t understand how working people manage to cook for themselves consistently. I just keep buying gas station food and putting off laundry for another week.

      I can relate. I try to cook, but I’m usually already so exhausted that I just get some trash food instead. I tell myself that I’ll cook for sure tomorrow, but the cycle repeats. Sometimes I forget to eat entirely, and I have sleep for dinner.

      I batch cook and freeze it it’s the only way I can keep on top of it. I just can’t cook every day, it’s too much.

        I try to cook in batches on my day off, but I never make as much as I need. Given up on freezing because no matter how many how-to guides I read, everything has fuzz on it the next day. :(
