I discovered vegan maultaschen (dumplings, basically), which have the exact proportion of macronutrients and fiber that I need in my diet at large, and which can be eaten raw, fried, or in broth. They also cost €2.25 for /~600 calories worth, so very cheap for prepared food, but not really that cheap in the end.
Apparently black beans and rice are excelent and really popular in brazil. Best part is that you can make huge amounts and freeze it, so you don’t even have to cook often. Preferrably add something else to add some more variety to it.
Vege bean burrito with too much hot sauce and extra lettuce.
I feel palpable guilt if I don’t eat one every 1-2 days. It’s funny to see this post; I was just talking myself out of making one because I’m not hungry (but I had something else to eat so I feel like I cheated in some way)
ETA this has been the case for 20 years. I had to take a 5 day DOT ferry and all I brought to eat was a cooler with 2 cans of beans, a package of tortillas, a head of lettuce, and 4 different hot sauces.
I honestly kind of thought that everyone did this until now
I mean, it’s literally vege refried beans, lettuce, hot sauce, tortilla lol
I have variations with the hot sauce- my fave has always been habanero Tabasco! but sometimes I’ll use el yucateco, any high heat marie sharps, many unique sauces from stores all over, or any homemade sauces I have. Sometimes ghost pep salsa makes an appearance, but salsa makes the tortilla drippy so not always. I was adding x sharp Tillamook cheese for the first half of this diet but I’ve stopped craving cheese/dairy in the past 10 years or so
Crumbled Tofu. I just crumble 400g of tofu in a bowl, add salt, pepper, curry-powder, paprika-powder, chili flakes, and some pre-chopped and dried herbs. I add about 4 shots of soy-milk, mix everything and put it in a glass with the lid on. (I eyeball the amount of spices. Maybe start making one portion (100g Tofu for me) and see how you like the spices. As starting point paprika- and curry-powder are the same amount, as are chili-flakes and herbs.) The original recipe used only cumin, salt and pepper, so just play around till you find something that tastes good.
Heating it up
Relatively simple: Just put margarine and mustard on 2 slices of bread. Put a quarter of the prepared Tofu in a pan. I add another shot of soy-milk to make it stickier. Fry the Tofu and spread it on the Bread.
Dinner
Ingredients
(for 4 portions)
2 onions
600g of brown rice
about 180g of vegan ground-meat (depends on package size)
Chili-flakes, Pepper, Herbs
enough bullion-powder for 3-4 liters, or to taste
some (sesame-)oil
(20g of creatine)
Mealprep
Chop the onions, add a bit of oil to a large pot, add the onions, vegan ground-meat, pepper, herbs and chili-flakes. Fry it until the onions are glassy. Add the rice, about 1.8 Liters of water, bullion-powder and creatine. Let it cook with a lid until all the water is soaked into the rice. Be careful at the end to not burn the rice. Divide the mushy rice into 4 containers and put them in the fridge. There should be a bit of space left in the container for the rice to rise, otherwise the water will squeeze out and turn the rice on the bottom to mush.
Heating it up
If your first meal is after preparation, just eat it, while its warm. Otherwise get a large pan, put some oil in it and fry the rice until its hot. I usually fill the container with warm water to also heat it up. That way I don’t have to clean an extra plate. (My containers are made from glass, but can withstand a big heat-difference, do not do, if not sure.)
Lunch
Yea, idk. I should probably eat lunch, but it’s extra work. If anyone knows something easy, preferably with lentils, beans or peas, let me know.
Meal-sizes
At some point I calculated the macros I need and it roughly fits. You should probably do the same. Also I take a multi-vitamin/mineral since I don’t have the nerve to prepare veggies.
The smiling cat meme is completely inappropriate for this content.
I used to eat the same food every day and ended up with hemorrhoids. Passing stool was a slow, painful, bloody process every time. It took years to recover from that.
But also yes. Im lucky mine has proteins & vitamins, but these days I only get still l stuck with it a few weeks at a time. Then completely forget about it. Just ADD magic.
Right? I can’t even meal prep because I can’t even eat the same food more than 2 days in a row. I wish I could for my health and easier cooking, less thinking about food, but I can’t do it. I’d jump off a cliff in like a week.
