I have to admit.....I totally understand what you are saying......I have found that the days that I do make food to eat.....I get absolutely NONE of the work done around the farm that I need to get accomplished.....life seems like it's either about food & fixing food or work with no time to bother eating.

I do have some ED issues being triggered by stress......so going days without eating is nothing new to me....but then I do need the balance because I can get too shaky not eating......so one day for eating & the next day is about work.....but then I live alone & can get away with that....or on the days when I'm trying to work....I have quick things that I already fixed....like chicken salad.....or pea & cucumber salad....or frozen foods from out of the freezer that only take microwave time then eat & get back to work.

I think that planning the week & the menu's is probably a good idea that way not so much time put into planning each day....& you just follow your meal plan for the week......then do it over for the next week....& incorporate in the things you can just throw into the microwave...or a casserole you can stick into the oven (not the greatest during the hot summer).....or use a crock pot & put a huge amount of food for left-overs for the rest of the week.

Planned ahead & some of the things prepared ahead on one day....can save a lot of time during the week.

Just some thoughts.
