What are your favorite depression meals?
I've been working on improving my diet, and by that I mean just actually eating something lol. I've struggled a lot with finding good depression meals cause they usually feel like too much work and I already don't like cooking. So here are a few that have worked for me, its stuff that won't expire quickly and creates minimal dishes:
Edamame: They sell frozen bags that you can pop in the microwave, you don't even have to open it first. takes like 5-10min. Dump them in a bowl and season with whatever, I just do butter and salt. It's nutritious & has a surprising amount of protein.
Baked potato: I cut it down the middle and pop it in the oven at 450 for an hour or so. When its soft enough to mash I scoop out the insides with a fork and add butter, cheese, and/or sour cream. It sounds like a lot of steps at first, but having that hour + it takes to cook where you don't have to do anything makes it feel more manageable to me. You can also do the microwave.
Frozen burritos: Those frozen monterey bean & cheese burritos are a bit more nutritious than others. I microwave them with shredded cheese on top. cheap & filling
Soup: Campbells has microwavable soups now. Soup never worked for me before cause it involved the stove, but these work great
Cereal: I always have my favorite cereal on hand. Something is better than nothing.
Veggie snack trays: Super easy way to get vegetables. I've even done a huge party tray and just had it open in the fridge. This expires faster than the other ones though
Think! protein bars/premier protein shakes: Think! protein bars are the first that have worked for me. They actually taste good so it's easier to get down if you don't have an appetite (not the high protein ones tho in my opinion). Premier protein is in a similar vein + their new latte flavor has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee - two birds one stone.
Anyways, what are your favorite depression meals?
