How to Eat as a Young Bachelor
Air Fryable - simple, quick, and healthy-ish
Minimal dishes - efficiency. don’t want to make a 10 minute meal and spend 30 minutes cleaning after
No micro - dries it out/ doesn’t crisp/ inconsistent with heat distribution (only use for heating up cornbread) I'm all for quick and easy, but the quality drop off of the food does not offset the ease of a microwave. Alternatives: use air fryer for pizza, skillet for meat, and oven for anything else
Mildly healthy - I wanna be able to play a pickup game of anything at the drop of a hat and that would be hard with a big belly
Tasty - cardboard probably doesn’t have a ton of carbs
Slow burn - eat for more than three minutes without over eating
Make in bulk - basically meal prepping so it’s fast to remake
Cheap - bachelors gotta keep the money stacked for when we’re hopefully not single
Good leftover - after it’s made in bulk, it’s gotta still be good
Foods that fit these:
Spicy Black Bean Burger. con: quick eat. I can eat one in six bites. - I go no bun, but sprinkle some garlic salt on there.
Tuna. con: smelly. - If you use quality tuna and vegan mayo it’s not super bad for you.
Veggie Spring Rolls. con: can’t make in bulk.
Salmon. con: least cheap per meal on the list ($10 frozen from Target), can’t make in bulk or in air fryer. But the taste & health outweigh the cons.
Eggs. con: can’t make in bulk and milk & eggs have a short expiration.
Pasta. con: not super healthy and if you do make it super healthy then it doesn’t taste as good. Have to use micro to heat up after first day.
Jalapeno Cream Cheese Wantons. con: not healthy & can’t make in bulk.
Tacquitos. con- super bad for you. - super fast and tasty so they win a lot in a time crunch.
DiGiorno Crispy Pan. con- super super bad for you. - good for a chillin night in if you’ve been healthy lately and want to pig it up. This is the only edible frozen pizza I can take.
