Exclamation What do bachelors eat all day?

Basically I dont have to many options on making my own food not to good of a chef...So I end up eating lots of sandwhiches peanut butter (tons of tuna for protein since i hit the weights 5-7 times a week) and bologna and turkey etc. then its microwave food, oven pizza, canned food and sometimes ramean. half the week I bring my own lunch to worksandwhich, or I eat a salad. So yeh not much variety.........I don't eat fast food or junk food to much since I work out alot and when I was in college and grad school thats how I survived. So ideas?? thanks!

Cooking for one really sucks. Sometimes if I'm ambitious I'll get a family pack of chicken and do a bunch of stuff with it (a couple different marinades, stir fry and make a salad) and then I have food for a few days. Only problem is I don't necessarily want to eat chicken twice a day for 2-3 days in a row!

Learn to cook real food. You're going to screw up a lot at first, but that's okay. It's a skill that has many uses in life.

Try starting with something fairly simple. Maybe homemade spaghetti sauce. If that doesn't sound good, learn how to broil/grill some good fish.

I've been cooking for myself since I was 13... there is NO excuse you can't with a little recipe help from google.

Call a service to make meals for you. My sister uses one in Edmonton. Every Sunday she places an order for a week's worth of meals (for six people, in her case), and they deliver on Monday morning.
Everything is labeled and frozen - reheat, and you're ready to eat!

Meat. I eat lots of meat. And hot sauce. MMM

One of my favorite disgusting meals is corned beef hash. 1 can hash, on a skillet + lots of hot sauce.

In all honesty though, learn to cook some stuff, maybe you'll even enjoy it. When I'm not eating meat and hash, I really like preparing a decent meal, plus it really impresses the ladies!
