I live in an area where taking public transport to get food adds between 2 and 3 hours to get to the nearest shops. I avoid shopping on the weekend. There's a bulk food order that goes out on Friday or Saturday night but I can't imagine what I'll feel like eating on the following Monday, let alone Wednesday. Sometimes I'll do bulk food prep and by the time I've finished preparing the food I'm so disgusted by the idea of food (especially that food) that I don't eat it, which is also the case if I've eaten the same meal multiple times in a row. I apparently will just wait out the clock (food goes off) instead of eating food I don't want to. I don't like pasta (again, the main thing motivating me to eat pasta is the threat of someone yelling at me, hunger alone isn't enough).

Uber eats and taking ubers to go shopping is expensive. The freezer is full because there's five people living entirely separate lives in the household.

idk what I'm supposed to be doing. It's hard to eat at all even if I wasn't trying to be healthy, meat reduction etc.

I recently got a full time job after about a decade of no employment, so I pretty much don't have energy on weekdays either.

    Spitballing here...

    First idea, figure out a generic food stuff that is aggressively neutral. Something with enough calories, protein, fiber to sustain you but has very little flavor. Something like bland as fuck oatmeal, with some nuts/seeds, fruit, maybe a bit of sugar/honey/jelly, cinnamon and a very small amount of nutmeg are solid. Need some extra protein and aren't vegan, you can crack an egg into the oatmeal and stir vigorously, vegan? extra soft tofu should be fine but it will change the texture of the oatmeal more than an egg so be prepared.

    Second idea: Set alarms for when you need to cook and or eat then just inhale the food as quickly as possible, don't think about it. Its just another chore in your day like brushing your teeth or washing dishes. Doesn't seem appetizing but you can try to ignore it and just do it.
