Crockpots are the shit. I've been using them almost exclusively lately. I just finished making some shredded chicken with mozzarella jalapeños chili powder with some chipotle sauce for my coconut flour tortillas. So good.

If you don't have a timer yet to turn it on/off while you're away, they make them even better.

Seriously, all of my meals don't take longer than 30 minutes to cook, unless I'm making something extravagant on my day off or something.
Or as I mentioned earlier--You could always season and throw some chicken thighs with potatoes and asparagus and strawberries in the oven. Easy peasy, minimal prep work and clean up.

You can also cook a bunch of meals on your days off. I cook 4 days worth of meals at a time for the week, portion them out and that way it's easier for me to control my calorie intake. It sucks eating the same thing 4 days in a row but you get used to it.

some people think eating a steak is a health food and white rice is the devil
the china study found what was called the "diseases of affluence" the poor people eating lots of rice and cheap vegetables and little bits of meat here and there were far healthier than the people able to consume the more expensive animal products
rice, beans, potatoes, frozen vegetables, are all very cheap options and they just happen to be found in some of the longest living cultures around the world
there is a stigma that veganism is expensive and only a diet rich people could afford which couldn't be further from the truth
As a vegan, I can confirm that being vegan is easy and inexpensive if you like to cook.
It's not often that I see other people cite data from The China Study. Props, man.

That's true, but people in Holland are typically much richer than in America.
A lot of people in America are on food stamps or barely scraping by from paycheck to paycheck, plus certain meats like poultry and grains are subsidized by the USDA, which keep the costs of chicken and bread very low.
